Classes – The mechanical classes of Layonara have several wide interpretations and some have very specific needs. Most standard character classes do not require anything in the way of justifying the choice of class over some other in the character submission. As such, a detailed justification for a particular class is an optional thing, and we will not overly scrutinize them, excepting for very obvious glaring issues (I.E. a submission where a sorcerer studies his magic rather then innately acquires it or a level one fighter is taking on whole mobs of orcs on his own, etc). Clerics and paladins however, must give their stated commitments in their biographies and we would still like them to make clear in their biographies their respect for their deity's dogma and/or organization. Druids also have their own submission requirements, and we would like to have any druid players read the druid information page. Additionally, applications asking for dual classes are not expected to include more then what a single class of the same would require. Resubmissions to add a second or third class after initial approval (excepting druid, paladin, cleric or monk) need only be a resubmitted biography with a few additional lines explaining the IC reasoning. Resubmission to add druid, paladin, cleric or monk (especially if the starting class was monk or druid to begin with and a character is returning to this class) hold the same requirements and stipulations as above with potential extra requirements (such as CDQ, CDT or other need). If you have a character with multiple classes, you must have 5 levels minimum in each class before level 20 (e.g. You cannot have a level 3 rogue, level 17 fighter, you need at least 5 rogue) Monk, Paladin and Druid classes have restricted multi-classing.
Before I train anymore and...
well to be fair, those rules were written when the max character level was 20, and were mostly enacted to stop power builds that made no sense where a few class levels were taken to obtain their level 1 bonus's (before the rules were enacted there was a character who was level 18 sorc, level 1 paladin {for the charisma bonus to saves}, level 1 monk {for evasion}).
After level 20, saves and attack bonus all progress the same regardless of base class. For that reason, certain builds rely on multiclassing before level 20 to maximize saves or attack bonus, or to achieve certain abilities or feats that only need 1 or 2 levels of a class. The level 5 requirement before level 20 prevents those kinds of builds.
