multi class characters are definitely more useful than single class. the virtuoso pianist and trumpeter example may be true, and perhaps it is correct that single class clerics are better than dual class clerics, but it is also true that the most effective fighting unit is one that consists of ...

seeing as we're on the subject of bows - is the gessen bow any good? its supposed to shoot lightning bolts and thus do electric damage, but is it worth having it forged?
