Sor/Rog?

[crazyfoxdemon9]

Is it worth taking a level or 2 of Rogue if I'm a sorceror?

[Dumluck]

Only if you want to gimp your sorc. Never multi class a sorc. They are just that awesome.

Kneejerk: agree with Dumluck

Post kneejerk: what are you hoping to gain? splashing rogue and wiz is common because both use INT as a core stat (search traps for rogue + skill points). splashing rogue into sorc doesn't seem to add much. possibly use the CHA for UMD? that is all i can really think of.

it is much more common to splash rouge with sorc because they are so vain.

EDIT: assumed that evasion was assumed with rogue splash.

So short answer, yes it can help. But carefull consideration of the pros and cons need to be taken into account.

Hmmmm....
18 wiz / 2 rogue makes a lot of sense
18 sorc / 2 rogue is really good... though pure sorc is better.

Keeping rogue skills maxed with a sorc/rogue will be a severe pain. With this split you will have a huge stat point split (need a very high dex, int, con, and charisma). You're going to end up short in one area or another.

If you just want evasion, monk would be a better option since you'd get a free feat with it. With rogue you will likely have to choose between either maxing out your rogue skills or having a reflex save high enough to utilize evasion.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you wanna cast spells and be a rogue go with wiz/rogue.

I take it 18 Sorc/2 Pally has gone out of style...

[PopeJual]

With a Wizard, you have lots of Int and that has nice synergy with Rogues. The trap skills are just a side benefit to the Use Magic Device and Evasion benefits that you get, though (imo). Insightful Reflexes makes the Evasion actually worthwhile even without a gajillion points in Dex.

With a Sorcerer, if I wanted Evasion, I'd probably rather have a couple of feats in addition to the Evasion instead of just the skill points. That makes me think Sorc 18/Monk 2 instead of /Rogue 2.

The fact that Insightful Reflexes isn't really avaialble for a Sorcerer and the fact that Sorcerers get their spells one level later than Wizards already makes me think that multiclassing a Sorcerer to get Evasion is not something that most people would be happy with.

Wiz/Rogue has better synergy due to the casting stat and insightful reflexes.

There are some warforged Tukaw builds out there that go 16 sorc 2 pal 2 rogue. Never played one, but they can be good.
