[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 488354, member: 359"] I'm currently playing a character who will end up with levels in five different classes. At present, he's a Ranger1/Rogue3/Fighter1, who will be taking his next level in a priest class. After that, he'll be taking levels in a custom PrC for the campaign, the Jaguar Cultist of Tezcatlipoca. Character concept is rather strange.
