SRD Talk:Multiclass Characters

[edit] XP Penalty Information not Present

I missed the XP Penalty descriptions and details about how favored classes works at least. I think it would be a lot useful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.80.230.147 (talk • contribs) 08:16, 2007-08-29. Please sign your posts!

Unfortunately, the rules regarding XP penalties are Product Identity, not OCG, so they can't be posted on this site, except the bits that are already in the SRD. There are only three places (of which I know) in the SRD that even mention XP penalties: here, here, and here. They're mention of them is limited to the times when they don't apply. So the SRD can't expound on when the penalties do apply.

I did, however, copy the "Favored Class" section from races. —Sledged (talk) 09:46, 29 August 2007 (MDT)

[edit] Taking a Prestige Class

Can you take a prestige class on a level in which you fulfil the prerequisites (so that the first level of the PrC fulfils the prerequsites), or must the prerequisite be fulfilled by other class levels before you can take your first level?

For example, a fighter has a +5 BAB, and 8 ranks in the ride skill. The first level in the PrC would add +1 to his BAB and has Ride as a class skill. The prerequisites for the PrC are a +6 BAB and 9 ranks in ride. If could he take this prestige class if he took 1 rank in ride as one of his skills that level? --Sam Kay 08:32, 16 February 2008 (MST)

You cannot use the 1st level of a PrC to meet its own requirements. The requirements have to be fully met before you take your first level in any PrC. —Sledged (talk) 08:43, 16 February 2008 (MST)

[edit] Monster Levels

The SRD talks about "monster levels" in the Improving Monsters section. Maybe they should be defined here? I think they're equivalent to "character levels", except for monsters instead of characters. 76.251.236.183 14:25, 11 December 2012 (MST)

I've added a reference link. —Sledged (talk) 14:53, 11 December 2012 (MST)
