I never played AD&D in a group, but I've been playing the old Pool of Radiance PC game a lot recently and it got me to wondering if an AD&D style multi-classing could be houseruled in.

I saw a couple of topics which talked about using the Class Templates in the DMG to make Gestalt like characters. That would certainly work for two classes, and free paragon multi-classing for humans (with the bonus of the class features) could be used for dual-classing.

Could three class multi-classing be worked into it?


I'm not looking for perfect replication - no level caps and no changes to XP/level, but wondering if the general feel could be worked out.

Three class multiclassing could be worked in simply by allowing a templated PC to take the standard multiclass route.

Without paragon multiclass he ends with 3 Encounter/Daily from the main, 3 Encounter/Daily from the secondary, and 1 encounter/daily from the multiclass.

With paragon multiclass he ends with 2 Encounter/Daily from the main, 3 Encounter/Daily from the secondary, and 2 encounter/daily from the multiclass.

You may want to allows the power swap feats to draw swapping from the template power though ending like this with paragon multiclass. He ends with 3 Encounter/Daily from the main, 2 Encounter/Daily from the secondary, and 2 encounter/daily from the multiclass.
