People aren't thinking Buffy in that context?

That said, it will probably end up "working" exactly as it does in 3.5 for casters, in that wizard 7 is worth more than cleric 1 so multiclassing is for suckers unless you have some incredibly specific game plan. Every class follows the caster paradigm where they pick abilities off increasingly powerful lists as they level up, so multiclassing means giving up some of your class's most powerful abilities for another class's weakest ones.
What if the abilities you got were based on your character level and not your class level? It's something you'd have to work into the design from the ground up, but it seems like it could work in theory. The biggest problem would be abilities granted at one level that had a prerequisite from an earlier level.

I'd love to see some teasers on that wizard, or maybe another class, just to see where it's going.
