D&D thrives on multiclassing; it positively encourages multiclassing. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that you're supposed to multiclass.Amongst the non-pure-spellcasting classes:If you want skill points, take levels in Rogue, Ranger, or Bard.If you want BAB, take levels in Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, or Barbarian.If you want combat feats, take levels in Fighter.If you want good Ref saves, take levels in Rogue, Ranger, or Monk.If you want good Will saves, take levels in Knight, Paladin, or MonkIf you want good Fort saves, take levels in Fighter or Barbarian.If you want good saves all over, take a couple of levels of Paladin to get Divine Grace, or take levels in Monk.Spellcasters are, of course, hit hard by multiclassing, but a few levels of a non-spellcasting class can provide key benefits - Ftr 2 gives feats, Pal 2 gives Divine Grace, Rog 2 gives Evasion - and can cover entrance requirements to Prestige Classes.When you create a character, the weaknesses are just as important as the strengths. If you create a highly focussed character - such as one with a high Fort save but weak Ref and Will - then you should not be surprised if the characters weaknesses are exposed.Or would you rather the NPC did not cast spells whose saving throw is your weakest?</blockquote>
