Message: <blockquote data-quote="schnee" data-source="post: 7090303" data-attributes="member: 16728">Wood Elf DruidCircle of the LandOutlander background2nd level16 DexThe character concept is he's from a clan that values self-sufficiency and secrecy. He's also hunting undead in our campaign, they are overrunning his homeland. I'd like to make him sufficiently stealthy without magic, so I can quite easily hide without blowing spells or Wild Shapes. He's often the party scout so I want to make him less prone to being ambushed or being surprised. All I have now is the Wood Elf 'Mask of the Woods' and a high Dex. No Stealth skill yet. I'm not sure if that's enough. Being able to hide in light obscurement is not so useful if I only have +3 to the Stealth roll.How 'good' do I have to get at Stealth to pull this concept off, and at what cost to my spellcasting? And, people that have done it - if I multi class into non-spellcaster classes, how much will that hurt?--Option A: Grab Stealth with 'Skilled' feat, or get 'Alert' feat, at level 4+ Either one preserves my full spellcasting level progress and helps scouting- I was hoping to get Combat Caster or Resilient Con, Option B: Multiclass into Ranger 1 for Stealth at level 4+ I also get Favored Enemy and Natural Explorer, both really fit the character+ I still get Combat Caster at level 5- I get one level behind in spellcastingOption C: Multiclass into Rogue 1 for Stealth + Expertise at level 4+ I get *awesome* stealth, + high perception, + sneak attack for ambushes+ I still get Combat Caster at level 5- I get one level behind in spellcastingOption D: Multiclass into Ranger 1 at level 4, Rogue 1 at level 7- See Option B- Option C hits right when my Proficiency Bonus becomes +3 - huge boost- Fully fleshes out the character concept- I get two levels behind in spellcasting--Anyone with experience to chime in? I'd appreciate it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /></blockquote>
