Multiclassing

I just converted from that other gaming system and wonder about choosing a character with good magic and fighting abilities.

Does Rifts even allow a person to choose 2 occs?

Yes and no...

Think about it as Dual Classing.

Technically, Rifts doesn't allow multiple OCCs (it is specifically barred in the RMB), except in special cases (becoming a juicer, crazy, or cyborg, for example).

Nonetheless, you can find rules for it in Palladium Fantasy: Adventures on the High Seas (2e), Robotech, Robotech II: The Sentinels, and at this URL: http://www.palladium-megaverse.com/cutt ... alocc.html

I would not advise it.

we have already had some fun with this over the last 2 weeks here

but seeing as you brought up d20.
d20 and PB classes are set up defferently, so comparing them is not a good thing.

d20 builds to what you want the character to be. so when you think of what character you want you think how can I build it by about level 15.

PB budles. it bundles a bit of background into lots of training and a firm push towards the end of days. so when you want a character type you think it up and look for the OCC and play. the system is made so that multiple OCCs are a nightmare of house rules and notes. but it can be done.
