Your job is not to abuse the game system at every corner, forcing everyone else you're playing with to do the same in order just to keep up. That's the epitome -- the epitome -- of why being a munchkin is such a wretched and disgusting thing. You're effectively ruing the game for your own silly little reasons, many of which have not only already been pointed out, but rallied behind by the likes of yourself and others. |

Uhhh...because it doesn't make any sense from a role-playing perspective? Because it doesn't come from a role-playing perspective. It comes from a numbers perspective, which is in itself a product of optimization and wargaming. |

That is crazy talk. I'm not going to get heated over this or anything, but the job as a DM is to have fun. Which is supposed to be the job of the player as well. If a DM is forced to spend the whole gaming limiting the outlandish maximizations of a certain PC, how does he get to have fun? How are those that aren't doing that? |
The only thing you're accomplishing by putting restrictions on dips and multiclassers is restrict the others from catching up to them. As I said, anyone playing one of the Big Five is making it difficult for the other party members to keep up. All you're accomplishing right now is ensuring that can't happen.
This, keeping anyone but the Big Five artificially weaker, is "ruing the game for your own silly little reasons,": you're giving entire slews of characters no change to ever be on the same level, and forcing them to be irrelevant.
