Jan 18, 2018 at 23:00	comment	added	KRyan		I think I’m with A_Soo here—since reallocating class levels doesn’t disqualify the nar demonbinder from that class, he never loses the benefit of that class. It’s not clear to me that rebuilding is the same as building in the first place, so I am not sure I buy that the quote from Dungeon Master’s Guide even applies. I think this answer would be improved by expanding some on that subject.

For point 2, can you expand on your argument a bit more? It seems like you're reading the word "disqualify" as meaning something other than "cease to meet the requirements," which would have been my reading.
