[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9337832, member: 7030563"] Multiclassing in 3E felt very restrictive to me with all the XP penalties and favored classes and other such nonsense. Add to that the wierd armor-dex and armor-casting restrictions and multiclassing was not very good. In 5E I can get heavy armor from a single fighter dip (as long as I do it first) and have no problem with either spells or dexterity checks. The one thing it does affect is stealth and it is pretty simple (although that would be high on my list of things that should change). Fighters are more difficult to play for newbies than casters. They have more choices and more importantly more bad choices. Call it ludicrous if you want, but my statement is backed by experience This makes me question whether you have DMed in low level game. Weapon damage Resistances and vulnerability are much more complex and common at low level than high level and it has nothing to do with magic weapons. Low level games are filled with monsters like Molds, Swarms, Skeletons, Shrubs, Oozes, Memphits, Vegypigmies etc. There are multiple pages of enemies under CR2 with resistance, vulnerability or immunity to piercing or slashing or bludgeoning (including from magic weapons). I would venture to say 80% of monsters that are resistant or immune to all piercing, or all bludgeoning or all slashing are under CR3. [/QUOTE]
