[QUOTE="Zad, post: 284680, member: 90"] The first obvious problem with a paladin/anything is that if you take a level in another class, you can't take any more levels in paladin. The second thing I'd suggest is this: Multiclassing looks powerful at low levels, but as you get into the mid levels, you start to realize that you stink at everything you do (assuming you run an even split). The specialist who sticks to one class, (or only takes a level or two in another) has a great advantage in their core competencies. (Prestige classes may or may not count in this argument depending how you go about it. If you switch to straight shadow dancer, you're ok. But if you add a level of one, a level of another and then go back to your "main" class, you're going to feel weakened.) Let's assume you want to stay with a Rog/Sor. What can you do? First off realize that as a sorcerer you will stink in some ways. Your spell selection will lag, and most importantly, the DC on your saving throws will be weakened. To counteract this, choose your spells carefully. Do NOT choose spells that affect the opponent that they get a save from - charm person, hold person, fireball, etc. DO choose spells that are buffs and beneficial to you - haste, cat's grace, bull strength, fly, and so on. By doing this you avoid the whole problem with your save DC's. Use the sorcerer spells to augment your abilities as a rogue. As for hooks that are...well "sexy", afraid I don't have any. [/QUOTE]
