[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 481715, member: 545"] You are incorrectly assuming that taking a single level (or three) of wizard is a foolish thing to do for a fighter. It is not if you bother to actually look for synergies. A single level of Wiz can gain you use of wands/scrolls of Expeditious Retreat, [b]Shield[/b], True Strike, Sleep, and/or Enlarge. You can still wear heavy armor, a buckler and bow held in the off hand, and use a Wand of Shield or a sword as needed. There is no splitting of stats to speak of; you only need a 12 Int to make this work. Heck, most PCs I have ever seen have a 12+ Int because they want the skill points. As far as being one note, I can only wonder what you think about barbarians, rangers, and paladins. They must depend on their one feat per three levels to improve their options. What are they? Zero note? An Arcane Archer as written can easily be just as effective in melee as any Ranger. Where is this lack of flexibility? I don't see it. [/QUOTE]
