[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 778719, member: 5890"] At present, there are currently two ways to multiclass a spellcaster, and not get reamed for it 1) Take a very minimal quantity of spellcaster levels, and never bother learning spells which have highly level-dependant effects, or allow spell resistance (ie - sor1/ranger 19.

Never bother adding any more sorceror ever.) 2) Take a very minimal quantity of non-spellcaster levels, purely to gain the benefits of front loading (ie - a cleric 19/fighter 1 to allow yourself access to every martial weapon plus a fighter feat, or a wizard 19/rogue 1 for as many ranks in tumble as you can get) If you do anything else, you end up being someone who's devoted half your life to being able to cast lame spells, with lame effects, which will fail to go through SR, and can be dispelled by anybody who can use a wand.
