Okay, will someone help me with this. I need to know if this is acceptable, OR know where to find the ruling that says it cannot be done.
1. I make a rogue, he is level 1. As one of his skills I take Decipher Script (Class exclusive) and put 4 ranks into it (Max it out for the level).
2. The Rogue Multi-Classes (Takes a level in fighter, Indiana Jones, here we come), he is now a 2nd level character, 1/1.
3. Next level my Rogue/Fighter adds another level of Rogue. He raises his Decipher Script to 6...
I can see the argument that might try and limit him to 5 in this skill on an intelectual level, only. I do not see anything in the Skills rules (PHB p.57-p62) preventing this. If you have any specific ruling, please give book and page number (Not really looking for a "Because....", rather in need of a specific rule and where to find it). Thanks.
I am leaning towards allowing this in my game, as long as the levels are there I don't really think that it will be unbalancing. Yet I would like to confirm that there are no direct rulings on this matter. And if there are, I would like to see if solid reasons are given.
