Oh, bother, Mark, this is exactly the kind of behavior that turned
everyone off to you in the game.  You wrote that those who disagreed
with you were idiots!  If that's not name calling, what is?  For
heaven's sake, READ what you write, and try and remember it!

A quote from the Player's Handbook:  "Thus multi-class characters
cannot use weapon specialization; it is available only to single-class
fighters."

We could debate whether or not "single-class fighters" means no
dual-class, either.  I don't know.

Mark, you're absolutely right.  If you get to pick the tactics for
both sides, then you'll probably win.  Why not just have the low-level
guys lay down their weapons and lie in a row on the ground?

Fine, I'll match your offer of John, with a friend of mine:  Chuck
Simons.  They are both fair individuals, so I'm sure they will be able
to agree on fine points where you and I might not.
