Class Help, thank-you.

[Dr. Strangemonkey]

hey out there.

I've always got a hankering to play skill users with minor magical power, but I don't like the cheese factor of the bard or the headache of multi-classing.

At the least I'd like to know the range of my options.

I personally can use any class that fits within the d20 license, but I can probably convince the DM to use anything that could concievabley fit within the greater scope of Toril. AU, for instance, has been allowed, and I am considering one of the witches.

So I'd love to have an index of magic-using high skill classes. 4+int per level and a decent range of skills is the minimum requirement, but I'd be willing to listen to less if it's got lots of neat class features that are strictly looking at magic use ala the sorceror or wizard. Divine versus arcane makes no difference.

I am likely to be doing most of the social work for the party, so keep that in mind.

Thank-you very much for the help.

There's the AU akashic. What a great class.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Rangers 4th level and higher.

Rogues with lots of ranks in Use Magic Device.

Spellthief from Complete Adventurer.

Cast your own spells + steal the enemies spells/powers/defenses and use them yourself!

And here we see evidence for the theorem that given enough time, every combination of words will eventually appear in a sentence.

Do we have a specific forum for testing this theorem? 'Cause if so I'm willing to make a bet.

Meh, I'd rather have something that can cast spells right off.

Indeed, and I am considering it, but it's not really spelly.

But with use magic device or multi classing it really can be.

What sort of multi-classing would you recommend?

I like use-magic device ok, but it's just a lot of gold investment for a limited return.
