Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeremy" data-source="post: 150572" data-attributes="member: 4036">Barbarian Wizard SmackdownOriginally Posted by -Eä-<editor’s note: I’m reluctant to include this post as it doesn’t actually include a smackdown, but I imagine it took a lot of time to think up and hammer out so I’ll post it anyways.  Takes moxy to post on this thread sometimes.  For the reader, this is not a one round smackdown, it is a way to play a multi fighter/wizard and still be able to cast competitive spells.  Something difficult to do often in 3e as multiclassing really hurts spellcasters.  That being said I trimmed it down significantly to make it much more brief and more an example of what it is, a solid strat…  Cleric spells he casts are from limited wish and are only bonus, not required.>Actually, I'm not sure if this qualifies as a smack, but I'll post what I have, and you can give me feedback on what to improve and what the flaws are.Note that I assume that the potions are created before the adventure and that the items are so as well.Character DwarfAbility Scores:Str: 16 +4 (raised) +5 (inherent) (+8 (Tenser’s) +4 (Righteous) +4 (rage) = 41)Dex: 12Con: 12 +2 (Dwarf) +6 (item)Int: 14 +6 (item)Wis: 12Cha: 10 –2 (Dwarf)Speed: 20 (Dwarf) +10 (Barbarian) (60 with boots)Barbarian 1: RageWizard 8 (abjurer): Scribe Scroll, +1 FeatMaster Alchemist 10: Brew 9th level potionsLevels: 7 featsFeats: 1.
