[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2760132, member: 177"] Well, if you're splitting between three classes, and not focusing on the spellcasting one, then perhaps. But if you've got only two, and are keeping them even or focusing a bit on the spellcaster, I think there's be more problem The thing is that while you can bolster a bad spellcasting stat, it takes a significant portion of your resources to do so. If you don't have a choice, it makes sense to spend resources to cover for a weakness. But actively choosing to make it so you have to do that, rather than makign yourself even better at your strengths, seems a bit odd. Sure you may not be missign spell levels, but you are missing out on boosts to your strength! For someone who's primarily a melee combatant, that's not a throw-away point. Especially in this case - you don't need to be a cleric to have strong religion. I even think it makes for better roleplaying to have a character be strongly religious when they don't have to be to support their powers. It's more of a choice then. To each their own, of course. Here I was talking about playing a bit of bard. Useful, but certainly not what you call a heavy hitter. [/QUOTE]
