I've finally broken down and my severe Altaholic nature has gotten the better of me...AA here I come
The basics:
Elf Ranger 11/Fighter 8/??? AA
What do you guys think? Level of Wizard for Extend, additional SP, 6 minute level 1 spells (Extend + Robe of Duality)...or level of Rogue for more skill points, traps, locks, bump in UMD?
If I go Rogue, I will forgo AC (for the most part) as I will not have 6 minute Shield, which means no Dodge and no CE, thus freeing-up 2 feats. If I go Wiz, the opposite. AC becomes somewhat viable with Shield (+4) CE (+5) Dodge (+1) = net of +10 when in situational AC mode. This is not to mention 6 minute Jump, Exp. Retreat (before Longstrider), along with increased buff times for all appropriate Ranger spells (Ram's Might, Barkskin...etc).
It seems like Wizard wins, but what does everyone else think? Thanks!
