[QUOTE="Theroc, post: 4763741, member: 83115"] I had been leaning towards sorcerer for the spontaneous casting(as I'd like having the Dragon Disciple PrC open to me, and there's another Homebrew PrC available) but I discovered recently that one of the homebrew feats in LEW actually would allow a Wizard to fill the "able to spontaneously cast arcane spells" prereq, making them the more attractive option. As for a Gish, Ffaelfarrin, that was my ideal combination, but it's my understanding that at later levels I'll be unable to hit consistently with my spells if I start multiclassing. I've seen that point so often it makes me worried that watering down a 'fighter' or 'wizard' will make me subpar in both areas to the extent that I'll be useless. It also raises the issue of "Where to I put my attribute points?" Gish is what I wanted, from the beginning really. I intend to start off as a caster(as early levels charging into the fray is stupid[The campaign may have me doing adventures above my level]) and then go multiclass into a more warrior-esque class in the future. So, my current dilemma is: With a 30 point buy, how do I create a warrior/caster who will be effective in the long run? I haven't had much experience in the actual game, so my knowledge is based on prowling, so my view may be getting skewed by the powergaming or 'munchkins'(new term I've learned since being on EW). So, at the moment I will begin as a Wizard, and work from there. Bladesinger isn't available to me regardless of racial selection, however. Complete Arcane or Complete Warrior are not available for LEW. In fact, my first post indicates the allowed material, which is mostly just the PH, DMG, and whatever else is covered in the SRD. Any suggestions for build planning? [/QUOTE]
