Guys,
I dont do PnP so the way builds are done is very confusing. Not only are classes mixed into each other, its not even uniform or consistent. Why do you build for x levels in 1 class then 2 in another and then 5 more in yet another??
I see it time and time again, but from laymens terms it looks like you're diluting your character. Wouldnt a pure build beat a hubrid?
If I never read these boards, I would be playing 1 class for 20 levels so:
Why do you mix them up, when is the right time, why do I see some builds where only 2 levels of a class are used. None of it makes sense.
Super Basic question (Builds)
Take a fighter 30 as an example. They have 16 fighter bonus feats. Eventually they have to take crappy feats. Also fighters get bad skills.
Now take a fighter 12 bard 1 RDD 10 WM 7
(notice it uses the minimum amounts of each class to get the sweet abilities..bard just to unlock skills and RDD...max RDD for +8 STR/immunities/armor/other stats/blindfight....fighter 12 for access to epic weapon focus/specialization....WM 7 unlocks all the crit powers of WM.)
Much better. They have the stat bonuses of an RDD and the STR boost compensates the AB loss of RDD + bard. Also more INT CON CHA from RDD. Also you can take able learner and then become skilled in tumble UMD and spellcraft. Your bard inspiration gives +1 AB. All that strength will be multiplied on critical hits to a higher multiple and threat range with weapon master.
Do you see how this synergizes? You get all you need from fighter and then the extra goodies from the other classes.
But you can play a fighter 30 too if you want. The OC is not so hard that you have to play a power build.

Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
