This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Will;785841The aforementioned 'Twinkamat' would actually suck, hard, and if someone was intent on doing it, hey, fine.

The thing is? A Sor1/Sor1/Sor1/Sor1/Sor1 character would have a bunch of first level spells ONLY (spell selection from each class), though have Caster 5 spell slots.

They'd have 5 elemental affinities due to different heritage. Awesome!
Aaaand absolutely fuck-all to do with them -- the elemental affinity only kicks in at level 6, and it needs to be level 6 in one of the specific classes. You'd only get resistance to 5 different elements when you reach level 6 in all 5 classes, or level 30...

So, uh. It's more 'Twaddlemat' than twink.

how does multiclassing work vis a vis xp? if you take fighter 6 than add sorcerer is it still 300 xp to 2nd level sorcerer ?

In 1e of course a 5/5/5/ Fighter/magic user /thief would have the same xp as a 7th level fighter as opposed to a 15th level one.

XP is based on total character level, so it's like 3e in this respect.
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

One of the Monster Manual previews is the "Half-Dragon" template.

So if your DM allows that you can be a Half-Dragon Dragonborn Dragon-Blooded Sorcerer.
Check out Gurbintroll Games for my free RPGs (including Dark Dungeons and FASERIP)!

Oh good! That means I only have to take Sorcerer three times! :cheerleader:

Quote from: Exploderwizard;785831Quite another route to double dragonborn would be to play a dragonborn monk named Billy Lee. :p

If and when I run 5e, to cut down on the stupid, I will rule thusly.

Dragonborn Sorcerer Ancestry is determined by the Dragonborn Racial choice. So no double dipping... Since Dragonborn will already have resistance to their ancestral damage type, when a L6+ DB Sorcerer spends 1 Sorcery point for resistance for 1 hour, they will instead gain immunity for 1 hour. Double Resistance would be pointless... Draconic Sorcerers don't get a breath weapon, so no conflicts there.

Really, it comes down to common sense and what is and isn't stupid...
