Multiclassing in 3rd Ed.
I am quite new to D&D 3.5e, since my dad only plays 2nd, and I have a few questions about multiclassing:
1) If you multiclass, can you gain ranks in your original class later. ex: Rogue/Barbarian 4/2 gains a level. Is this possible: Rogue/Barbarian 5/2?
2) What about prestige classes? ex: Rogue/Shadowdancer 7/3 levels into Rogue/Shadowdancer 8/3?
3) What is "multiclass note" in prestige classes?
Please excuse my inexperience.
Found answer to number three, so nevermind.Last edited by Rakim Avishot; 2009-01-29 at 09:53 PM. Reason: Found answer

Re: Multiclassing in 3rd Ed.
Remember that there's a 20% experience penalty per class two or more levels apart from another. Your race's "favored class" is excluded from this.
EDIT: As are PrCs.Last edited by Siosilvar; 2009-01-29 at 10:16 PM.

I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.

Re: Multiclassing in 3rd Ed.
Also, unlike in AD&D, there's no limitation on using your abilities; regardless of their choice, all abilities are a fair game with no XP penalties for a multiclassed character.

Re: Multiclassing in 3rd Ed.
Essentially: every time you gain a level you can take it in any class you like, except that some have prerequisites (e.g. you have to be lawful to be a paladin, chaotic to be a barbarian, you have to have various feats or skills or abilities to take a PrC, etc.). Many combinations will be absolutely terrible but a great many are possible. Example: you can be a rogue 1/fighter 2/barbarian 1/ranger 3/wizard 2/sorceror 3/bard 1/cleric 7. You'll just suck at all of those things.
There are exceptions, which will be specifically mentioned in the class description.
