Favoured Classes - Requiring a Choice (or not ...)

[BrokenShade]

Hi.

Looking at favoured classes by race, I like the fact that there are now multiple favoured classes by race. It just makes sense.

The one thing I don't understand is why one has to choose one of the two favoured classes at 1st level.
If a Dwarf Fighter wants to take a level of Cleric, why should he not get the favoured class bonus for the Cleric level too?

Instead of requiring the choice, I suggest making both of them favoured classes full stop.

My problem is that the character would then gain the benefits every level. I like the way it is done because it benefits the single-class characters more. I've never been real big on multi-classing to begin with. Now if you multiclass, you are giving something up (the favored class benefits) to do so....
