[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 4786651, member: 16285"] he is relatively ineffective becasue he has split his focus. He is a weak caster because he lost 6 levels of casting by being a rogue. He is a less effective rogue because he has 3 levels of cleric. One of the clerics benefits is their armor proficiencies, but those don't match well with a rogues skills and abilities. Figure out what type of character he wants to run. A spellcaster or a more "traditional" rogue. If he wants to deal damage then go with a fighter or a fighter/rogue combo. The extra feats a fighter gets helps the combo a lot. 3 levels of cleric is pretty useless IMO, he only gets 2nd level spells. D&D is designed around picking a focus and concentrating on it. If a player runs a jack of all trades then he will be able to do a lot of things, but not be real effective at any of them. This is fine for role-playing, but if the game being run is more about straight combat and how much damage you can deal then this just doesn't work very well. [/QUOTE]
