I have played a rogue/shadowdancer before. Some may remember Meriam (M).

Once she got her first level of SD she was going to carry on with that class, she only made it to 2nd level SD before I decided to retire her. I found that once I had the SD lvl it made it a little easier for me to solo my rogue. Which, at that time, I was mostly a solo player, due to not having players on in my time zone.

My new rogue is going the same way and when she hits her 1st level of SD she will grow with that class. Although there is more chance for me to play with others now that the player base is giving more opportunities for me to play with others the same time I am on.

I think that SD, (the same as RDD), another class I play, once taken should have minimum levels taken before another class is taken or improved on.

Mainly because of the HIPS benefit that you get at 1st level. I think leave it at 1st lvl and at least 5 levels of SD once the class has been taken is not unfair.

If a build is being made for RP reasons, then I don't think this is unreasonable.

But that is my opinion.
