[QUOTE="Vysirez, post: 2714363, member: 10204"] Donno if you wanted a caster or not, but I would second the MAD ideas. Monk for example is not really a strong class in a balanced campaign. However they are nice in both high magic and low magic campaigns. Low magic allows thier innate abilites to shine. High magic allows them to take advantage of thier wider range of abilities. Add in high stats and you can do pretty well. Lotsa things you can do with a Monk, depending on what you want and what your DM considers ok. Another thought if you wanted more caster like is a Paladin/Sorc Gish. High Chr, Str and Con can get you a pretty nasty tank with some casting, though paly/sorc isnt the best caster gish. Getting some turning attempts to combine with your high Chr and Divine might is useful but hard to do. Sacred Exorcist is one way, but hard to do by 9th for sorc. Or mabye go for an Elven Swashbuckler/Champion of Correlian who can use a finessable 2handed courtblade and get Dex + Int + Str to damage and use Str or Dex to hit. Downside to this one is both Dex and Int bonus damage are precision so the target has to be critable. I do love casters, but they tend to be some of the least stat depdant classes. So you could make a great caster with what your given. And 9th level is when a pure caster is coming into his power. I would say skip the dualcaster classes though, as you said 9th lvl is a bit low for those guys to be good. [/QUOTE]
