[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2220882, member: 707"] Why? Trying to create a double-focussed character that remains viable through 20 levels is tough enough, a triple-focussed character is virtually impossible. I'd suggest you abandon the idea of being any kind of melee fighter and focus on the two spellcasting classes.Going this route means your stats aren't going to be much above the bare minimum at any given point. Sure, items will bump these up, but you're going to have less bonus spells than most casters, weaker save DCs... It's just not worth it, not for a character who's entire focus is casting lots and lots of spells.What other domains does Boccob offer? Because for your character, Magic and Knowledge are pretty much the most useless domains you could possibly select. Actually having wizard levels makes the granted powers of both domains virtually useless to you. (The Magic Domain lets you use scrolls, wands, etc. as if you were a wizard of 1/2 your cleric level...but you're already a wizard of your full cleric level!) Of course, these are all min/maxing thoughts/concerns. If you're making some of these decisions for RP reasons, let us know so we can stop thinking about them from a min/max standpoint. ;) Edit: Oh sure, completely change your focus while I'm typing this monster up. :p [/QUOTE]
