Q129
When multiclassing is there always an XP penalty?

A129

There is an XP penalty if you multiclass between two or more base classes that are not close enough to each other in level. If your race has a favored class, that class does not count against your character for penalties, so you may multiclass between that favored class and any other class freely. These limits do not apply to prestige classes.
