[QUOTE="Esker, post: 7879778, member: 6966824"] The biggest cost to multiclassing isn't what you lose at level 19 or 20 -- if you do get there it's a small part of the campaign -- but being behind in spell levels. A two level dip means your biggest guns will be one spell level behind what they'd be otherwise for the entire campaign. Make sure you weigh that properly against the benefits. It sounds like your main motivation for multiclassing is the skills... With your stats you'll presumably start with 18 INT, 18 DEX and 16 CON, giving you 20 AC in studded leather with bladesong, to 25 with shield. If you do still get hit, you'll have +7 on your concentration saves. So you can afford to delay taking feats to boost concentration, and as a bladesinger you can't use medium armor or shields even if you got proficiency. To me that suggests that you can afford to put an early feat into skilled. I think you will feel the price of the feat less than you would feel being down a spell level. What other feats do you have your eye on? [/QUOTE]
