Hi everyone

I'm new to the game, though I have long years of experience with pen and papper dnd.

I want to play a multiclassed Rogue/Wizard because I'm playing with a friend (2 ppl party) and we need lots of different classes. Is it enough to add a couple of Rogue levels to a Wizard build? Will I be able to pick locks/disarm traps etc etc later with only 2 levels in Rogue? Or should I go for equally leveled classes eg Rogue 5/ Wizard 6?

In any case, which should I level first? Rogue gets tons of skill points and wizard gets free starting spells. Which is more important and harder to get later in the game? (Will I find enough scrolls to scribe to my spellbook to compensate for starting as a Rogue?)

Btw, what would you suggest for the other PC? We're thinking of a Cleric or Fighter/Cleric.

Also btw, is a lot of melee necessary? My Wiz/Rog is intended to stay back and watch, not to melee.

Thanks in advance
