Questions about multi-class
After reading Hratli's great monk thread, I'm working on creating a new monk. I have some questions about multiclassing though, as it's been so long since I've played I just can't remember how it worked.
If I switch from Monk to Cleric, I get access to certain spells and abilities. Once I go back to Monk, can I still use those spells and abilities? I noticed that quite a few of my monk abilities were greyed out when I was in a different class.
Is there a guide somewhere to show what abilities and spells carry over between classes? Thanks! :)

Is it better to muliclass early or wait till you reach a high level?
I made a new character that started out as a warrior. I have the formula for a compound bow and tech 1 & 2 for bow so i am thinking of training up the archer professions to.
At what level should you wait until you do muliclass?

As a warrior (starting) is it better to specialize in one weapon like onehand slash or is it ok to also take a twohand weapon?
and finally the spells and skills not shared by your classes ... are they available to be used?
For example my warrior trains some mage levels will he be able to use his sword, armor or other fighter skills?
Re: Questions about multi-class
i multiclassed early, scout & druid to become ranger, but also cleric so that i could heal & rez early on. some like to have the mage's ice/fire/energy attack spells to make hunts easier. i guess when you should multiclass depends on how much you want the other abilities to add into what your main class can do.
for your bow example, if bow is not intended to be the primary weapon as your main, you are unlikely to use that skill at all so why bother with it until you've leveled up warrior all the way? on the other hand, if there are abilities the class has that you want to use routinely as warrior, then you would multiclass early.
some abilities carry over but not all. for spells, check the classes the spell can be used by. if your main class is not listed in the 'usable by' group, then it will not be castable when you are in your main class, but will when you switch back to the one where you scribed it.
mages are limited to cloth armor and only a few weapons like staff. however, the crush skill that you earn as fighter does carry over so that you can do more damage with the staff than if you were just starting out as pure mage.
i hope this is helpful. :-)
