Erian,

The sheet keeps gets better!!! I finished an import/export version of 0.91, and I am rebuilding it to cover the new APG classes. I don't know how long it would take to add the new racial abilities, but 0.94 has some major changes that I would need to add.

Thanks again.

Erian,

Thanks for all the hard work on the sheet. I spent time adding a way to import and export characters to version 0.91, and it helps for those who like small character files. The only drawback is the need to remap if I upgrade. I did some overhauling of the spell sheet and magic items as well, but I'm trying to maximize its usefulness.

I have been using a similar method for a number of years, and it works for our group.

We have 2 classes max, take the better of the BAB and ST as you compare the different levels and pay for XP in each class individually. If you want to be a better fighter take that class, if you want more spells progress as a wizard. The character will lag from a single class character, but not by much at low levels. When it comes to feats, I would limit it to one class based on the beta rules, but give out starting abilities.

If you keep a limit to two classes, it works well, but we don't have prestige classes.

While some think its complex, its more like 1e/2e multiclassing than current rules. I think the balancing act is to gain levels, but not waste XPs by taking lower levels of any class at the higher level cost. The biggest issue people have is the skill points. If you allow them all the points gained by getting a second class, then they have too many. If you divide it in 2, then they typically have too few to do either class right. I am currently trying using all of one class (the higher of the two when equal levels), and half of the other class. The half gets spent on class relevant skills, and the character typically lags in spell power, BAB and saves. Are they more powerful than a single level fighter or wizard? Yes, but they are not the gestalt character.
