Editing Multiclassing (section)

===Multiclassing===
''Multiclassing'' was limited to different races for different class combinations, as well as the stat, race, and alignment restrictions for both.  Essentially, you had all the advantages and disadvantages of two different classes at once (a fighter/mage, for instance, couldn't cast spells in armor), but had to split all the XP earned up among all the classes you had levels in.  A fighter/mage would split his XP gained between his two classes, a fighter/mage/thief would divide his XP into thirds, a ([[Dark Sun]]-exclusive) [[what|mage/fighter]][[MAD|/cleric/psionicist]] would split his XP into ''quarters'', etc.  And since classes in 2nd Ed. all leveled at different rates this quickly turned into a clusterfuck for the player to manage.  You could have a Level 15/14/17 elven fighter/mage/thief and your character "sheet" would require a binder.
