[QUOTE="LuYangShih, post: 821823, member: 10414"] [B][/b] Rogue 1/ Fighter 1/ Wizard 18. ;) Seriously, if you're set on multiclassing with Rogue, Fighter, and Wizard, you are not going to be very effective. You could effectively multiclass with two of the above, but all three will leave you weak or moderately talented in each, but not great or even good in the rest. [b][/b] If you want to use any device flawlessly, you are basically required to take the Use Magic Device skill. If you would prefer to cast buffs, and just have a few attack spells, why not go with a divine spellcaster or a Bard instead of a Wizard or Sorcerer? Also, if you go Bard, you can cover the Rogue skills fairly well, (especially once 3.5E comes out, since Bards have 6 skillpoints per level in 3.5E) cast spells, and you can multiclass with Fighter to round out your fighting skills. [b][/b] It's not really worth taking two levels of Wizard. You'd be better off just taking one level, if that. You would be much more effective staying a pure Rogue/Fighter. Like I said above, I really think you'd do well by going with a Bard/Fighter build. You'd be able to buff, cast spells, and fight. It would seem to be an excellent choice for your character. By the way, I missed if you gave this information earlier, but are you allowed to take Prestige Classes in this campaign? [/QUOTE]
