[QUOTE="Rel, post: 363844, member: 99"] I have just one piece of advice for the moment: Make sure that the group you play in is not full of powergamers because if they are, you are going to be completely outshined by them in almost every circumstance. Note that at 9th level, you are just going to be getting access to 2nd level spells. A dedicated wizard will be able to cast 5th level spells by that point. Forget metamagic until late, late in your character's career. As far as fighting goes, you will have a poor BAB compared to other fighter types of your level. Your AC will be poor because you won't want to wear heavy armor and your hit points will be dismal thanks to 4 levels worth of d4's by 9th level. It doesn't get much better from there on out. Please note that nowhere in there did I say that it wouldn't be fun to roleplay this character. But powerwise, you are going to be well behind those who stick with a single profession. My advice if you want to play a combo fighter/magic using type is to go straight cleric. Pick a couple domains that help you out and you can wear good armor, have decent hit points and still buff yourself all day long. Good luck whatever your choice. [/QUOTE]
