    Default Where to from here? Pal/Rog/Sorc

    So I kicked up a new build just for a bit of fun, without a lot of planning, and with quite a bit of beer. So I need a bit of advice, as I've completely forgotten where I was wanting to go with this character, and can't really work out where I can go

    Current build is as follows. I think. Off the top of my head

    Drow Sorc/Pal/Rogue 2/2/2.

    Stats, including whatever gear I'm wearing and enhancements I have. Not that I recall what they are >.>
    STR: 12
    DEX: 20
    CON: 8
    INT: 14
    WIS: 8
    CHA: 21

    Saves:
    Fort: 9
    Reflex: 18
    Will: 15

    AC is 27 or something, rocking a +2 Mithral Breastplate of some sort of extra flashy thing or other, and a +2 Mithral light shield. I also have a bar or two stacked wtih rapiers and short swords and bows of various kinds depending on the situation.

    Feats:
    Nimble Fingers
    Weapon Finesse
    Force of Personality

    Spells taken:
    - Charm Person
    - Hypnotism

    So currently, all useful rogue skills are maxed. Plus, packing a few stacks of +5 thieves tools helps.

    Right now, this build is hella fun to play. I can hypno pretty much anything, and if I can't, I can charm something else and make it kill the thing I can't charm. Or I can hypno half and charm the other and dance about while they all sort it out. Or hypno everything and pick them all off one by one. Traps can't touch me, but I can touch traps!

    I don't plan on taking more Paladin levels. I have a funny feeling I'm a tad too squishy. But then...I'm not really sure. I rather like the idea of having a few spells at my disposal, but then...hypnotism with 2 levels of sorc might not help that much. Rogue skills I want to keep maxed out, and thus far the combat style I've been playing with this character is pretty much roll in, sneak attack till I get aggro, roll out, roll in, rinse and repeat. I'd rather like to stay that way

    It's just...I can't work out where to go from here, or indeed whether this character's going to be practical in a level or two. Help!

    And if your solution is "Reroll", then at least provide some suggestions that kind of keep within the spirit of the build

    are you gonna go caster or melee, make up mind before embarking on a reroll

    your stats suggest you want to be a caster type, what i can tell you is to rely on damage spells, effect spells will fail more as you level due to higher mob saves. a low con is usually death for a caster

    Saves:
    Fort: 9
    Reflex: 18
    Will: 15

    yet you stated you like to melee

    Feats:
    Nimble Fingers
    Weapon Finesse
    Force of Personality

    feats suggests so too

    Spells taken:
    - Charm Person
    - Hypnotism

    but u like casting

    like what i mention, what do you want to achieve, a caster type or a melee type. if you want to go casting, you do not need the 2 pally levels, this will allow a higher DC on your spells (if u have heighten) and will get you access to higher level spells

    if you like to melee, then your con is way too low. sorc levels will be mainly for buffing and damage spells (not affected by cha bonus, unless saves involved). get a higher str for more damage as well
    If you want to know why...

    You cant have everything in the higher levels, as in Trapsmithing, casting and melee.

    If you want to be able to do traps, as well as cast roll up a Wizard 14 / Rogue 2 with Insightful Reflexes.

    If you want to melee and cast roll up a Bard with combat capabilitis.


    If you wnat to continue this particular charcter you should either go Sorc all the rest of the way. Or go Rogue/Sorc in rotation, to keepup with trapskills and be at least able to throw some buffs around.

    Reminds me of this...

    http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0050.html

    Last row of panels....

    "A bard huh?"

    "Yep, what are you?"

    "I'm a multiclass fighter/rogue/sorcerer who specializes in enchantment spells... "

    Heh
