Multiclassing/Dipping Shame

[OldTrees1]

I'm sorry, are you claiming that the reason for 3e's successful sales was the 3e Multiclassing system? And the reason for 4e's successful but not as stunningly successful sales was their take on Multiclassing?

I feel like this hyperbolic leap in your reply to Jay R was atypical of your norm Tanarii.
Edit: Perhaps my later reply to Jay R helped?


The following is ignoring the hyperbole in your leap.

Beware Sample size of 1:
A: 4E's lack of sufficient multiclassing was one of my main reasons I skipped it. My other dealbreaker also dealt with other aspects of the decreased volume of mechanical representation for character concepts.
B: With level by level multiclassing the volume of mechanical representation for character concepts does scale fairly well with increased number of classes. That contributed to why I bought so many 3E books.
