  And if the Scout player takes one level of Officer (or vice versa) that 
advantage is negated.  Now, the one officer in the group is an interesting 
idea, but what incentive is there to continue as an officer after 1st level?

  Really?  I see the grunt or officer as the first to get killed.  Anyone 
carrying around a heavy weapon is a prime target in battle, and so are the 
leaders.  At least the scout is skulking around...

  True.  But there are various degrees of munchkin.  Heck, when I think of a 
character conception, I ask myself if the rules part of it is good enough so 
I won't die in the first session.  The rules are there to keep a 
relatively-equal playing field.  Otherwise, we'd all be playing diceless 
systems.
