[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2850563, member: 29014"] I'm really surprised you've been playing 3.X this long without realising how much it sucks to play a multiclassed caster. Wizard10/Cleric10 is a worthless trash character She is so incredibly bad, that she is guaranteed to be less effective than the cohorts of the other characters, if the other characters have any cohorts. She can generally cast fewer spells in total than her Wiz20 and Clr20 friends, and of lower levels too--but wait, she has both Divine and Arcane spells that are outdated, not that it helps. Edit: The secret is that a Wiz20 is MUCH more than 20x as powerful as Wiz1 in all ways that matter, and everything that makes it that powerful (the more powerful spells and caster level increase) cannot be duplicated in whole or in part by taking another base class. Meanwhile, a level 20 Fighter is 20x as effective or less in most ways that matter (BAB, HP, saves, feats) and taking any other class will give you all of these things, and sometimes just as quickly as you would get them with Fighter, plus they will generally give you other cool abilities if they have a trade-off.
