[QUOTE="Samurai, post: 1799530, member: 3850"] Yes, all dual progression types sacrifice a bit in the short term in order to benefit in the long term. Meeting the entry requirements are where you are the weakest... a 6th lvl caster is much stronger than a 3/3 wizard cleric. Once you start gaining the dual progression, you begin to catch up though. Ironically, in our game, I'm on the path to becoming a dual caster (Psionic Theurge). I was very happy just being a 7th lvl Psion and had no plans to multiclass, but then my character died. My god offered to return me to life only if I became a Cleric in his name... he said he needed me for a special task. While the party may have been able to get my body to a cleric somewhere for a Raise Dead spell, would it have worked if your own god didn't want it to (since he says he needed you to become a cleric for this quest)? Could the party even afford a Raise Dead (which are pretty expensive and we were not an incredibly rich party)? In character, how could I justify telling my god "no thanks..."? So, next level I'll be taking Cleric lvl 1, then shifting into the dual progressing Psychic Theurge ASAP. I'm really enjoying the character and campaign I'm in right now, so I hope we keep going long enough for that to happen... [/QUOTE]
