I've been told by almost everyone not to multiclass primary spellcasters, because the caster level/spell acquisition is more valuable than anything you could get from a one level dip into another class.
Could someone explain this in regards to the Empyreal Sorcerer with a one level dip into Monk for the Dodge Feat and the Wisdom bonus to AC (Pathfinder)?
With a 20pt buy, it's pretty easy to get Wisdom up to 19, which is a +4 modifier. This combination of classes means at L2, the Sorcerer can easily have an AC of 21 (without dump stats) when Shield is cast (before accounting for any gear). His Wisdom-based saves will also be insane.
What is he really losing? Spellcasters start out as weaklings, and end up godlike. Wouldn't this just flatten that curve a little, and make early levels more survivable?
