[QUOTE="wildstarsreach, post: 3281563, member: 43141"] I would agree for different reasons. The MT PrC has 2 stats that need to be high. You can't be really good at either one without the other suffering. The other problem is that the magic item stat boosts use the same slot. I played a Psion/Wizard/Cerebremancer from 1st to 20th. The thing that really made this work is having Int as the prime stat for both classes. I did have to use 2 feats, Practiced spellcaster/manifester to boost effectiveness. On paper the MT PrC looks awesome but in practice, it falls short. That doesn't mean that it can't be done. Personally, playing a fighter/mage type is easier. You have the Duskblade which I think is the best blend of the two classes. Or you could go with an eldrich knight build. I think the best build to 20 would be F2/W7/Spellsword1/EK10. This would give you a BA of 16/11/6/1, 9th level spells, the ability to have a mithril chain shirt with no spell failure or Mithril/Elven chainmail with a 10% failure, saves at 14/5/10 without stats. Also with feats such as arcane strike and practiced spellcaster, it makes for a potent character. The next campaign that I start in, I'm going to go and do this from 1st-20th level. Most start somewhere at mid level and creating the character. playing through the lower levels gives valuable insight and fun. My Cerebremancer started good and from 4th to 10th level sucked as he needed the party heavily to make up for his weaknesses. From 11th to 13th, he was okay but from 14th to 20th, he shined. Good luck [/QUOTE]
