[QUOTE="aoikaze, post: 6809395, member: 6811962"] I sketched out a version of this exact concept, EK6/W4, and the spells known being stuck at L1 for so long was my big concern. I hadn't really thought about scrolls being the answer to that problem, but that would work, assuming the DM is nice about providing the opportunity to find or buy them, which is always the crucial question! Update: actually, do I understand multiclass spell preparation properly? Walking this through... CL6) At EK6, I have 3 L1 slots and know 4 spells, max level 1. CL7) When I add W1, my slots now are determined by the multiclass rules (EK/3, Wx1), which means caster level 3. That means I have 4xL1 slots and 2xL2 slots. A Wiz1 gets a spellbook with 6 L1 spells in it. With Int 16, I can prepare 4 spells (1+3). I have L2 spell slots, so I can prepare L2 spells, but I don't have any yet, unless I find some. I still know the same 4 L1 spells I had as an EK and don't need to prepare them from my book, and that never changes. CL8) When I add W2, that's multiclass caster level 4, for 4xL1 and 3xL2 slots. When you gain a Wizard level, you add 2 spells to your book for which you have slots, so I add 2 spells of level 1-2. Then I have the 4xL1 EK spells and then with an Int of 16, I can prepare 5 (2+3), still with a max level of 2. CL9) When I add W3, my caster level is 5, for 4xL1, 3xL2, and 2xL3 slots. I can add 2 spells of level 1-3 to my book and can prepare 6 spells of level 1-3. CL10) Finally, when I add W4, my caster level is 6, for 4/3/3. I can add 2 spells of level 1-3 to my book and prepare 7 spells of level 1-3. Is that all correct? If so, that's better than what I first thought, and this seems much more workable, even without DM scroll generosity. [/QUOTE]
