[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1230460, member: 5777"] He's a drow (2 levels behind) and 2 levels in warmarshal (from what you said it sounds like another 2 levels behind in casting) that makes him at least 4 levels behind in casting from an equivalent caster of his effective level. This is a huge hit, 4 caster levels nets 2 full spell levels behind, which means he should have no real offensive spells to speak of, his durations will all be much lower and it'll be incredibly easy for someone to dispel his buffs. His turning is nothing to speak of (cleric level only, so min 5 levels behind in this department from an equalivalent level cleric). Definately not good at everything ;) Though as a base cleric type with another clericy class they default to being best or second best at most everything anyway, so no problem there. As far as I can tell one good dispel magic will take him down a few pegs, and even with the drow SR (which is 10 + char level if I remember correctly) spells that only get negated with sr should still be pretty effective. Sounds like a pretty nice, well thought out character. Hopefully he has background to go with the various classes and worked for them with roleplaying. One can only hope at this point ;) Your guys are level 13+ it seems from the above, with this guy casting at leve 9+ if I am reading into things correctly. Just trying to get a feel for the level adjustments. BTW do you like the miniatures handbook? from what I can tell the classes are either hit or miss in big ways. [/QUOTE]
