In an attempt to end the threajacking, I started a new one on fast food in General Discussion.

Bon Appetit!

gideon_thorne wrote: See, I'd do this. I'd ask the player why they want to multi class? Do they just want to 'play a character with two or more classes', or do they have an interesting rationale or back story as to why their character has two classes.

Lord Dynel wrote: That's workable. As long as you don't find it to be too much recordkeeping, I'd say give it a go. If after a bit of live testing it becomes too burdensome, then revise it. Good Luck! I'm not the one complaining about "too much recordkeeping", though random encounters inv...

Lord Dynel wrote: Roll of 20 = critical hit = Double Damage I'm thinking of using the charts from Dragon #39 ("Good Hits and Bad Misses") for crits. I (and my confederate, skerns) use GH & BM. The only drawback is that it doesn't include a table for unarmed critters scoring crits, so ...
