Multiclassing made simple?

[Joseph Le May]

Assuming that for normal characters (including ones using the standard multiclassing rules), one would use the quickest XP table, would it work out if you used the SRD gestalt rules, and allowed a 2-class gestalt at the middle table, and a 3-class gestalt at the far slowest table? I think this could work, maybe. Anyone?

Hummm that isn't a bad ideal harkens back to dual class.I really think this is a great ideal.

[Joseph Le May]

Yeah, it's pretty much a simple, if inelegant, variant inspired by the comparatively complicated 2E multiclassing mechanic. I just thought that those three XP tables were begging for it.

I had a similar thought when I first saw the three different XP tables. What I am hoping for is a way to simulate the 1e/2e mulitclassing rules. My gaming group almost did not upgrade to 3e based on just the loss of mulitclassing. It took WotC 3 attempts to get a version of class and prestege class to make a conversion of my favorite character, an elf fighter-magic user-bladesinger.

I'll have to look at the gesalt rules and see if those make work but I truely hoping James can pull another miracle out of the hat and solve it.

Read through the gesalt rules and with a little cleanup and balancing work by Jason these will work great with the XP tables.
