Kayless’ Guide to Multi-Classing

[Thorsson]

A Half-Orc Cleric of Tempus xx / Barbarian 1. Just go for maximum strength.

A Rogue 10 / Barb 1 / Fighter xx gets all the rogue special feats, rage, fast movement, combat feats, better BAB & HP.

I wouldn't take the Brab, because Rage is not worth of anything. I would add that one level to rogue.

But seriously: rogue/sorceror is the way to go. Since you don't become visible when casting sells while invisible in 3e, you can throw jiucy spells from a distance, and you can also snek attack when necessary.

The fun part is not the rules error, but that I actually thought this was a viable build back then :P

Now dwarves and paladins aren't exactly a frequent combo, but I constructed one that not only met my role-playing image but also was combat practical. I chose a gold dwarf instead of the basic shield dwarf (since shield dwarves get a Cha penalty, which is a no-no for paladins) and since I didn't envision this character as spell-user I decided multi-class him to a fighter after 3 paladin levels. This way he gets detect evil, divine grace, lay on hands, divine health, aura of courage, smite evil, remove disease, and turn undead without having spells (which start at 4th level). This way he's an excellent fighter, but retains all the paladin abilities (except spells of course). Who says you can't have the best of both worlds? http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/winkgrin.gif

Lay on hands is level dependent, correct? IE, you get 2x char level heal pts, iirc. Question is, even with only 3 pal levels, lay on hands (and other level dependent spells) takes total *char* level, not just pal levels, right?

hey guys/gals new to your forum here, read all the topics all of them great for chacters, well i've been playing iwd2 for some time now, and i havent seen my faverit race here so i thought i'd give u all my team of "3 halflings".

Nuitari, ghostwise halfling f4/barbxx str16, dex20, con18, int4, wiz16, chr4
full out tank, duel classed maces.

salena, ghostwise halfling barb4/cleric of tempisxx str16, dex20, con18, int4, wiz16, chr4 tank/buffer/summons skeletons, duel classed maces.

blade, Lightfoot halfling rogue6/cleric of mask str16, dex20, con18, int4, wiz16, chr4 buffer/magekiller duel classed dagger/shortsword

nuitari and salena are a brother/sister team, very earnest in temperment but loyol to friends/family they work well together when it comes to fighting but!.

blade cousen to nuitari/salena takes an underhanded way when near enemys always hidden in shadows never knowing what he's up to untill they see the goblimshamon fall flate on it's face do u see blade grining away.


well these 3 work well and i hope u all like them (halflings rock)

Hi guy's.
Hi Kayless.
Well, it's been a long time since i posted anything.
And it's been a while since i played agian IWD II.
But i'm at it agian.
This time i'm going solo. And yes, going solo, i need a multiclass character.

So, going solo, how would you advance your character?

Me, also being a good old fashion pnp roleplayer,
i'm playing one one my characters.
Female Wild Elf , Barb/Rog/Sor , name Onyx.
Oh yes, and the avater i'm using is her, hehehe.

You?

[Wrath-Of-Egg]

perhaps you should try... bard11/figth4/sorc15 well it bit unbalacing but hey it is damn easy...

[Onyx]

hehehe.
I was just asking to see what people come up with,
from a roleplaying point of view.
Very interesting character you've got there.
That's a lvl 30 character.
Cool.
What level of difficulty are you playing the game at?

I like using Socs, and normally have 2 to 3 in a party (3 fireball at the beginning of battles makes everything much easier ). For most instances, I give them all a level in paladin class (the saves, dud ).

So here is my question: Is there any reason I should NOT do this? (roleplaying not counting, since I have everything in that aspact under my control)

Also, please let me know if you think that there are better classes to add than pals.

...hmmm...-...what is better then one PAL level for a sorc ?

...*two* PAL levels


EDIT: on very high level (25+) you could think about adding monk or rogue levels to get evasion...

Two?

Shouldn't 2 be enough for the save bonus and lay on hands? why waste a level for a measly aura of courage and 1 use of smite evil?

...aura of courage - imunity to fear and +4 saves for party is just great !

...fear could get one of your biggest problems in HOI - many enemies with auras and fear seems to be one of the favorite enemy spells!
