Mystic Theurge - would it be popular?

[MerricB]

Your DM is starting up a campaign. You intend to play from 1st to 20th level, and knowing your players... you will!

You now have to choose what class you want to play.

Will you play a Cleric, Wizard, Mystic Theurge, or something else?

Remember, this is for a campaign that will take place over two years or so of weekly campaigning.

Cheers!

Never been a good player of spellcasting classes ... I forget what spells I have, when to memorize then ...

If I was playing a Wizard I would follow the Mystic Theurge since frankly I really dont use item creation feats and I rather be the spells slots of a wiz17/cleric13 at lv20 with the added bonus of prestigue domains that INHO are far better that being a lv20 wizard.

Yes, there would be a time to pay when first moving into dual classing but that is why we have the other party members ...

I voted for the Mystic Theurge...but then, Cedric, who my account is named after is a Cleric/Wizard of Boccob. So, as you can probably imagine, the Mystic Theurge would have been a great option for a Prestige Class.

But then, I wound up taking a homebrew Artificer prestige class instead. Which has worked out perfectly...

Couldn't say... After that long, we'd likely just be hitting 7th Level.

Seeing as straight arcane and divine spellcasters have been in 3E since the beginning, but Mystic Theurges are brand new, I could see a lot of voters wanting to try out the MT even if they normally prefer single class characters.

When taking Mystic Theurge levels, does your caster level go up for item creation reasons?

 

[MerricB]

Kershek - Yes, it does.

Wow, what a lot of Mystic Theurges.

I took the class to my gaming group last night - most of them looked at the first 10 levels or so it would take to approach real power and said "not a chance!"

Mind you, spellcasting PCs are not big here for some reason.

Cheers!

Re

I think a few people will try it, but I don't think it will be any more popular than a straight wizard or cleric. It isn't that interesting a class. I have one PC that I know will take it, but that is because he was previously a cleric/mage in 2nd edition.

I like Fighter-Barbarians and Fighter-Paladins - Real Man, me. None of this spellcasting nonsense.
