[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 1486213, member: 17296"] [b]To Multi or Not:[/b] Really, when asking yourself this question, whether or not to multiclass, you must realize what you're really asking, which is: "Am I a spell caster?" If your answer is yes, then you most certainly should not multiclass. Now, if you can cast a few spells, but that's flavor, incedental, or just not really a main point, then the answer is "probably" If your answer is a resonding "No", then definitely, 100% you should multiclass. There's no reason not to and SO MANY reasons to. OK I could be exaggerating with that last point. A barb may want to get better rages... But even he should consider a little multiclassing. It's just so GOOD> As meantioned above, there are many occasions wherein throwing in a little spellcasting flavor can be a really good thing for a non-spellcaster. OR, you can avoid that altogether, and get lots of bennies without loosing any (or much, if you want to throw in up to four levels of monk) BAB. Now, if you're a spellcaster, really the only viable multiclassing you can get is throug PrC's, and even then you have to really look, watch out that you're not giving up too many caster levels. That next level of spells is almost always better than whatever else you're getting. Remeber, with a spell caster it's all about magical POWER. And you can only get that power through intense focus on your prime class. Or, perhaps... maybe a PrC that doesn't take too much focus away. So, remember "Should I multiclass?" "Is the same as asking am I a non-spellcaster?" Yes for one is yes for the other. (Also, of course, if you DO multiclass, be careful it's not in order to become a spellcaster. Unless, of course, you have very few levels yet, and plan on using those to enter a spellcasting PrC. Otherwise you've turned your answer around.) [/QUOTE]
