Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 5568245">I greatly dislike multiclassing, When someone has one level in mage/warrior/psion/chocolate bunny, it begins to feel less like a role playing game and more like calculus.  Worse off, when one person power-builds though this, it leads to the rest of the party needing to power-build.  Which in turn leads to a rather annoying arms race and IMO, takes fun out of the game.Now mind you I'm not opposed to min-maxing within your class or multiclassing in the 4e style of two primary classes.  But when you start having 6 different classes(excluding prestige classes) I think it spoils the pot so to speak.In any case, rant aside, what I'm looking for is some help here.  I was recently invited to play a 3.5 game with some friends of mine and I haven't seriously played 3.5 for over half a decade.  And even then it was very light.  So what I'm looking for is some good suggestions for strong builds(as these guys are often power-builders), with minimal to no reliance on multiclassing(prestige classes excluded).  What are good classes that I can take say, lvls 1-10 in and ONLY in and still come up with a strong character?  Nobody has any explicit roles so far save one guy who wants to play the penultimate bard, so I'd like to avoid treading on his turf.  Links, sample builds, any suggestion is welcome, preferably not fighter though, been there, done that, not interested.</blockquote>
