But for this reason we actually never played any! If some of you has tried them, please post your experience on the following cases:- 2 spellcaster classes, about same levels each- 2 spellcaster classes, one major and one minor- 1 spellcaster major class, 1 non-spellcaster minor class- 1 spellcaster minor class, 1 non-spellcaster major classBy major/minor, let's assume that you take almost all levels in the major and from 1 level to not more than 25% levels in the minor.I know that losing even 1 level in a spellcasting class makes you delay the acquisition of next-level spells which is of course something you may regret. But can't you really live without? Lower-level spells also become more per day, but top-level ones are usually 1 or 2 per day when you reach them the first time.The caster level also does not increase, but there are many spells for which CL increases only the range and/or the duration, but this does not always make a huge difference, especially at low levels: Summon Monster at CL 1 is in fact a poor spell, but over CL 10 it doesn't make much difference at all.Spell Resistance is a minor deal IMHO, and with Spell Penetration you can make up for 2 caster levels lost.What I am trying to understand is: can I play an effective spellcaster with some levels in something else? Perhaps it's too difficult to make him a combat caster, which relies on heavy damage, high DCs and SR penetration, but what about all the other spells, beneficial spells?-------------------------------------------------------------------Before summer I had this idea to play a Drow Rogue/Wizard. Beside the race, which I could just rule out from the start since its ECL is absurd - but that's another story - I was thinking about the different possibilities in mixing up levels of Rogue with Wizard.A main Rogue with few levels of Wizard could just know a few spells to buff himself before combat or to boost his skills when really success is needed. Maybe giving up some sneak attack and skill points is a feasible trade-off for 2-3 levels of Wizards to get 8-12 spells per day?Or the other way around: main Wizard with 1-3 levels of Rogue?</blockquote>
