Apprentice level characters??

[Dog Faced God]

I can't seem to find the rules for multiclassed level 1 characters in the SRD. Does anyone have a link, or can anyone explain them briefly?

It's a variant, not in the SRD. With it, you get to choose two classes at 1st-level, and get "apprentice" or approximately a half-level in each class (one must be a favored class). You get approximately a half the BAB, saves, abilities, and spells normal for a level in each class (in a table on DMG p. 40). One is "primary" for hit dice and starting skills. At 2nd level you have one level in each class and proceed normally.

You may wish to ask for the specifics of a given two-class combination.

Thanks, DC. I'm doing a sorcerer/rogue, with rogue being the primary class. The only thing I am having trouble figuring out on my own is spell progression.

You know as many spells as a 1st level character.

You can cast 4 cantrips, and 2 1st level spells per day.

 

[dcollins]

Agemam's got the spells above (Charisma bonus applies).

Apprentice Rogue/Sorcerer: BAB +0; SV Fort +0, Ref +1, Will +1; no special abilities; HD, skills, equipment, proficiencies as a 1st-level rogue.

As dcollins wrote.

Note NO SNEAK ATTACK.

Does anyone have or know where there is information on 0 lv Psionic classes (psion; physic warrior).

 

[Spatzimaus]

The apprentice rules for psionics were printed in the Mind's Eye, on the WotC website. If you download the .pdf archive of it (which I highly recommend) it's page 92. Here's what it says:

Psion: +1 Will, 2 Psionic Combat Modes. 1 power point (plus bonus PPs and 3 free Talents per day), and the 1st-level supply of known powers.
They also get a Psicrystal, but it only provides half the normal benefit, has INT 5, and only has the Empathic Link special ability.

Psychic Warrior: +1 Fort, 1 Psionic Combat Mode, 1 bonus Feat, 1 power point (plus 2 free Talents per day, but PWs don't get bonus PPs), and the 1st-level supply of known powers.

Thanks, Spatzimaus I had forgotten they put those in Minds Eye and I have that PDF (which is better that some source books I have bought for WotC).

Dog Faced God if you want a full list of the apprentice level characters for the base classes look in the DM's Guide.

Thanks so much everyone. This has been a great help. Now that I'm finally back home and armed with my DMG, I can look it up!
