[PnP] Shaman & Wizard

[Scott Adams]

To Elaborate...I'm ok with multi class within reason.  Alignment cna 
be a death grip for a character or a simple social order.  Just 
because you orient to Law does not mean you can learn Chaos 
spells.  Does that mean your a evil but lawful guy?  No.  Just means 
you learn the rites for stuff to defend against it.  Course if you 
suddenly use 90% Chaos spells an d10% law hten I would consider you 
more caotic.  Sort of like Star Wars too many dark side points and 
you turn dark and npc.

Best with realistic backgrounds as well.
