[QUOTE="Brudewollen, post: 3899890, member: 2274"] I chose my distribution of stats (low strength) partly for RP reasons. My character is a castrato singer, that is to say he was castrated before puberty to reduce his testosterone and preserve his high, youthful voice - consequently, castrati tend to be a bit soft in the muscle department (this is an RP heavy campaign, so that kind of stuff goes over well with the DM). Also, he's not terribly religious. He was sold into slavery at a young age by his parents to pay off debts and was eventually bought by one of the churches who still own him (yes, he's still a slave). The point is, he's not terribly religious so Crusader probably doesn't work for him and he doesn't even worship the god of the church who owns him. If anything, he somewhat resents that god and his worshipers, including the PC Cleric in the party whom he serves. The church mostly makes him sing at their masses and such or hires him out for various errands with the PC cleric, or to work on theater shows to make money off of his talents and other such things. Anyway, Crusader doesn't sound much like the class for him for all those reasons. What are Warblades like? Is there a need to do Rogue before going into Assassin? I should be able to make Assassin by 5th lvl if I start really focusing my skills on it starting next level. What bonuses do I get for switching now for 2 levels than sticking with bard and getting the most out those abilities? What about Sorcerer for multi-classing with Bard? Two spell casting class, sure, but the stats at least mesh well and it means a lot more spells per day and more choices. We actually don't have a decent arcane spell caster in the group, I was pretty much it as the Bard. We may have just picked up an NPC caster - I'm not sure he'll want to stay with us, though but he might be compelled to for various story reasons. I can't do Arcane Archer because I'm human. I had considered that, until I remembered it's only for Elves and 1/2 Elves. Even so, Bard spells don't always make good Arcane Archer magics. [/QUOTE]
