rex_subterrae1008 06-18-07, 09:44 AM	I don't know if anyone's done this kind of thread before or not, so I decided to start it... Anyways, certain classes probably wouldn't work out for onbe character... Here's a few example to start things off... 1. Barb/Bard: Just imagine the barbarian, "Kronk" (no, not Kronk from Emperor's New Groove...), saying something like, "Wait! Kronk want play music now!", and pulling out an instrument... On the plus side, they do make good drummers... 2. Barb/Wiz: Ok, a class that can't read combined with a class relying entirely upon a spellbook... "Hey, Kronk, what are you doing?" "Kronk read magic book" "Ummm, it's upside down..." If anyone can come up with more, just add them...
runestar 06-18-07, 09:49 AM	For a while, a paladin/rogue multiclass used to strike me as incongruous, because of the whole "thief + backstab" holdover from 2ed and the negative connotation it carried along with it. But once you get used to the idea that sneak attack is simply hitting a foe where it hurts more (not at all unlike a normal critical), and there is nothing underhanded about it...:) A rogue/knight combination seems a bit weird (to me at least), but nothing in the mechanics expressly forbids such a combination (it can still sneak attack via flanking).
Karish 06-18-07, 09:52 AM	Paladin of Freedom/Warlock. O_O; I'm gonna make a half vampire tiefling and make him that.
RealSorceror 06-18-07, 12:31 PM	1. Barb/Bard: Just imagine the barbarian, "Kronk" (no, not Kronk from Emperor's New Groove...), saying something like, "Wait! Kronk want play music now!", and pulling out an instrument... On the plus side, they do make good drummers... If you take the Savage Bard varient in UA, this is actually a really great combo. ;) 2. Barb/Wiz: Ok, a class that can't read combined with a class relying entirely upon a spellbook... "Hey, Kronk, what are you doing?" "Kronk read magic book" "Ummm, it's upside down..." I think the Rage Mage would disagree with your assessment. :p The thing, no matter how absurd the combination is, I often find that the build is more often than not supported by the rules.

Eerongal 06-18-07, 12:43 PM	expanding upon our friend Kronk here.... Barbarian/Aristocrat: "Kronk are grand and educated leader of peoples!"
Demon_Paladin 06-18-07, 12:45 PM	Dragonshaman/dragon slayer If he is good, he slays chromatics, if he's evil he slays metallics. See, it makes sense.
Zaver 06-18-07, 12:51 PM	If he is good, he slays chromatics, if he's evil he slays metallics. See, it makes sense. It's not nonsensical combinations, just unusual and in my book a guy who worships dragons and is trained to kill them earns a double take.
RealSorceror 06-18-07, 12:51 PM	expanding upon our friend Kronk here.... Barbarian/Aristocrat: "Kronk are grand and educated leader of peoples!" How about Barbarian Archivist? :D "What do you mean the Head Librarian can't read?" :eek: Ooh, how about Barbarian Ninja?
rex_subterrae1008 06-18-07, 01:22 PM	Dragonshaman/dragon slayer There's an online rpg I used to play sometimes called Adventure Quest (www.battleon.com)... My character was both a vampire and a vampire slayer... lol.
windscar18 06-18-07, 01:44 PM	Barbaladin. Ooooh, if only alignment problems get in the way, this would be an amazing combination -_-.
pres_man 06-18-07, 01:52 PM	Bardarian (bard/barbarian) doesn't realize that they do magic and is likely to split your scalp if you try to convince him that he does. sorcerer/wizard - "wait you can't use that wand it is on your restricted list" "not for my sorcerer class :devil: " cleric/druid - CoDizllax2 right! right? nevermind. monk/druid - "did you see that, the bear slapped him around and then bit his arm off, it was cool stuff!" bard/wizard - "hey I know stuff!" bard/druid/mystic theurge - :looloo: (yeah I played this once, I've screwed the mind of the guy who was DMing when it comes to bard and druid spells :devil: )
bahamut920 06-18-07, 03:28 PM	2. Barb/Wiz: Ok, a class that can't read combined with a class relying entirely upon a spellbook... "Hey, Kronk, what are you doing?" "Kronk read magic book" "Ummm, it's upside down..." Once you take a level of a class that isn't illiterate, a barbarian gains the ability to read. Thus, a barbarian/wizard or barbarian/archivist is feasible. A rogue/knight combination seems a bit weird (to me at least), but nothing in the mechanics expressly forbids such a combination (it can still sneak attack via flanking). A knight does not gain a bonus on attack rolls when flanking. You still confer the benefit of a flanking position to an ally, but you forgo your own +2 bonus on attack rolls. You can keep your +2 bonus, but doing so violates your knight's code. A knight never strikes a flat-footed opponent. Instead, you allow your foe to ready himself before attacking. I think it's safe to rule that a sneak attack from a flanking position is an even worse breach of knightly protocol (if you CAN sneak attack without the flanking bonus - you have to catch your opponent off-guard to do it), and striking a flat-footed opponent is a no-no. So your knight/rogue CAN exist, if he doesn't mind not having any knight's challenges ever. Also, all those armor-related abilities your knight half gets? Useless, because you lose your rogue powers if you wear any more than light armor. Even carrying a shield is illegal.
stoicfaux 06-18-07, 03:36 PM	Drizzt/Legolas multi-class. What do you mean it's not unusual? I mean, seriously, how many half-drow, half-high elves do you know of?!?
Niek 06-18-07, 03:41 PM	warlock/Blood Magus: not wierd by fluff, but looks like a poor choice from a crunch point of view, until you hit warlock lvl 12 and get imbue item
rampant 06-18-07, 04:23 PM	Ranger/Artificer -What do you mean he made a wand out of grass?
lord_xarallon 06-18-07, 04:26 PM	All the weird combinations has a PrC (or most of them) to it. Deal. :p Though a monk/druid and cleric/druid is needed. (These are the most weirdest i can think of now)
rex_subterrae1008 06-19-07, 09:20 AM	Once you take a level of a class that isn't illiterate, a barbarian gains the ability to read. Thus, a barbarian/wizard or barbarian/archivist is feasible. I know... I'm just saying it's an unusual idea going from an illiterate class straight to one requiring a spellbook... lol.

Actually, I just read the Rage Mage in Complete Warrior... In my opinion, it sounds more like some wizard got picked on too much in Wizard School, and flipped out... lol.
runestar 06-19-07, 10:02 AM	I think it's safe to rule that a sneak attack from a flanking position is an even worse breach of knightly protocol (if you CAN sneak attack without the flanking bonus - you have to catch your opponent off-guard to do it), and striking a flat-footed opponent is a no-no.

Useless, because you lose your rogue powers if you wear any more than light armor. Even carrying a shield is illegal. I disagree. The knight's code is very explicit about what the knight can and cannot do. There are no gray areas - everything is clearly spelled out in black and white. He is only barred from benefiting from the attack roll bonus from flanking and attacking flat-footed opponents, nothing more. However, he is still treated as flanking for all other purposes. This is consistent with his entry in the PHB2, which does not say that he cannot sneak attack. Plus, he is even explicitly allowed to help others get their flanking position, so clearly, there is a very clear line delineating the limits to which he is expected to "play fair". After all, you don't expect him to fight with just 1 hand if his foe is facing a similar handicap, do you? Well, you could, but it is not required by the rules. For the sake of rp, you are free to declare that it is "unknightly" to sneak attack, but a knight would not be penalized for not adhering to that standard.:) I am not sure what you mean by not having any knight challenges. I can easily opt to stick to light armour (though I admit the MAD from doing so is ungainly). Or just wear full plate and suck up the penalties. I only lose evasion - so it is not really such a big deal. I don't understand the part about shields, since evasion works even when the rogue is using a shield (he is only required to wear light or no armour). Or is there something I am missing?:P
Symar 06-19-07, 10:04 AM	All the weird combinations has a PrC (or most of them) to it. Deal. :p Though a monk/druid and cleric/druid is needed. (These are the most weirdest i can think of now) Monk/druid = Fist of Forest, no? Now, a Binder/Paladin of Freedom. :D Or, Bard/Paladin would rock!
Von_Harbringer 06-19-07, 10:14 AM	Drizzt/Legolas multi-class. What do you mean it's not unusual? I mean, seriously, how many half-drow, half-high elves do you know of?!? I always wondered what the stats would be for a elf with drow/surface elf parents. Anyways... Monk/Cleric/Rogue/Wizard/Ranger/Sorcerer/Paladin/Fighter I'm sure somebody has done this abomination of multiclassing. :P
The_Shaman 06-19-07, 10:18 AM	That is a little weird... but has anyone player a druid/blackguard combination? Barbarian/ninja can also be really cute. Also, I think Legolas was a wood elf by Tolkien's nomenclature. For all this matters here, really.
Skara 06-19-07, 10:18 AM	How about a Samurai/Ninja. With Katana Swordchucks. Made of Uranium.
Damon_Caskey 06-19-07, 10:57 AM	On a more serious note, Monk/Wiz makes a decent combo. "Krusk got little magic man now too close to use..." *POW* "Oooow! Krusk face hurt now!" DC
DPgamer 06-19-07, 11:25 AM	Cleric/Wizard or Cleric/Sorcerer I have two kinds of magic and you have none. ZZZZZZZZAP.
rex_subterrae1008 06-19-07, 12:28 PM	Cleric/Wizard or Cleric/Sorcerer I have two kinds of magic and you have none. ZZZZZZZZAP. Of course it'd take a Cleric/Wizard twice as long to prepare his/her spells for the day... lol.
pbradley179 06-19-07, 02:34 PM	I'd personally like to see a Warlock/Paladin, and my absolute favorite to see would be a Dragon Disciple/Dragonslayer, just because it seems so ridiculous.
rex_subterrae1008 06-19-07, 02:41 PM	A samurai/ninja... I don't know about in D&D, but historically, in feudal Japan, they were enemies... Or a Paladin/Necromancer... Animate Dead, Destroy Undead... HOURS of fun... lol.
Silverclaw 06-19-07, 03:06 PM	Paladin/Asassin ?? Barbarian/Monk ??
Von_Harbringer 06-19-07, 07:43 PM	Barbarian/Monk ?? I've actually seen that combo. A player had a half-orc monk for 3 or 4 levels then stopped being lawful went barbarian. I am think he was working on a PrC (reaping mauler maybe). That is one thing I think is a screw against paladins. Monks can change their alignment and don't loose there abilities (they just can't be monks again).
Macrovore 06-19-07, 08:10 PM	Swashbuckler/ninja. you are now a ninja/pirate.
skydragonknight 06-19-07, 08:21 PM	Swashbuckler/ninja. you are now a ninja/pirate. Swashbuckler 3/Ninja 2/Dread Pirate 5/Ninja X is a character who can cause a lot of damage because the polar opposites within the character lead to a spontaneous nuclear explosion.
Nat_20 06-19-07, 08:33 PM	Shadow Caster/Favored Soul of Pelor.... Light and Dark energy... cool Swashbuckler/Barbarian... Screw all this finessing stuff, wheres my great-axe, or maybe a PrC that lets you finesse an great club... he he Warlock/Healer... I melt heads, AND patch um' up...

Screw all this finessing stuff, wheres my great-axe, or maybe a PrC that lets you finesse an great club... he he Warlock/Healer... I melt heads, AND patch um' up... Love the shadow caster/favored soul. As for swashbuckler/barbarian, try the elven courtblade. It's two-handed and finessable. Seems perfect for the concept. Druid/alienist. You worship nature but seek power through its perversions. Mechanically sounder with that feat to use CHA for druid spells from the OotS site. Barbarian/spellthief. We all know and love the barbarian stereotype. When did he go rogue and learn how to steal magic? Druid/spellthief. Arcane magic is vile and unnatural. I must stop it, even at the cost of my soul.
Von_Harbringer 06-19-07, 09:14 PM	I'm actually going to post a realistic multi/prestige class. My Dwarven character, Ranger 3/Fighter 4/Dwarven Defender 4/Occult Slayer 5. Right now he is Ranger 3/Fighter 4 and less than 400 xp from DwfDef. :)
DarkflameX 06-20-07, 12:23 AM	ranger/cleric my buddy wants me to let him play so he can have 'arrows of healing' "i shoot you for 5 but heal you for 9!" oi
Waterhammer 06-20-07, 12:39 AM	Ooh, how about Barbarian Ninja? Barbarian/Ninja/Spell Thief. Now your saves are balanced. ;)
Salla 06-20-07, 12:44 AM	Or is there something I am missing?:P No, you have it exactly right. Detail: A knight *can* attack a foe who is Denied His Dex Bonus to AC, provided he isn't in such a state because he is flat-footed. So, provided the foe has acted, a knight can attack a foe while invisible. :)
runestar 06-20-07, 12:45 AM	ranger/cleric my buddy wants me to let him play so he can have 'arrows of healing' "i shoot you for 5 but heal you for 9!" I believe it is possible for a cleric to fire a arrow that heals (as per the heal spell) everyone in a straight line.:D Smiting spell + ...?
Waterhammer 06-21-07, 01:16 AM	Ranger/Hexblade, anyone? The best BAB, good balanced saving throws, a good skill set, and oh, so weird.
Taeurus_Spfiinxer 06-21-07, 02:31 AM	Beguiler/paladen =D! My business is lies...wait crap >_< I can't do that... Barbarian/Assassin..."Kronk says whats over there?' *slash* 'Yay, man go die =D!" Barbarian/Swashbuckler..."Kronk sexy now!" Ninja/Favored Soul...this concept I think is just odd but now I wanna see it at least once. Samurai/Wizard...a bookworm katana wielder...sounds like a few of my friends lol.
Taeurus_Spfiinxer 06-21-07, 02:52 AM	Then of course Spirit Shaman/Soul Knife or Psychic Warrior wherein the contridiction being your power comes from nature spirits then from your own mind. I know it's not the best or weirdest combination, just thought it was odd at least =P.
Cypher_of_the_Eye 06-21-07, 04:54 AM	How about TWF Ranger/Dukblade? this offends me. Dragonfire Adept/Warlock? Somany Invocations!!! Arrggg!!!!

bahamut920 06-21-07, 01:45 PM	First of all, a lot of these "strange multiclass combinations" seem more like "strange gestalt combinations," which might or might not be in the spirit of the thread. Most of them would not be feasible in a multiclassed build. First off, paladin/assassin is just like paladin/barbarian - impossible due to alignment requirements. Paladin/slayer of Domiel (I think that's what it's called, the assassin PrC from BoED), however, is not, and is pretty unusual. Second, barbarian/monk is also impossible. This thread is about unusual multiclass combinations, not impossible ones. Try barbarian/battledancer (Dragon Magazine Compendium) instead. The grace that the battledancer focuses on is also at odds with the brute force of the barbarian. Thirdly, yes, knights are not prevented from attacking foes denied Dexterity bonus, but the only way to do that without making them flat-footed is to tie them up or otherwise render them helpless first. And - while not RAW - almost any intelligent DMs will rule that if attacking flat-footed targets is against the knight's code - which is based on fair play and chivalry - sneak attacking or attacking a helpless foe is also against the knight's code. A knight/sorcerer would be a strange multiclass/gestalt, though, and NOT against the knight's code... And as sor that "take every base class in every book" build above, we actually had a ranger/barbarian/fighter/wizard/rogue in one campaign I was in. And with all those classes, there is no multiclass XP penalty, because all of them are within 2 levels of each other...
pres_man 06-21-07, 02:12 PM	Right it should be ex-barb/monk or barb/ex-monk or ex-pal/assassin. It is possible to mix the classes, but you have to be an ex-something, which may mean a loss of some abilites or not depending on the class that is the ex-.
Peregrine_Wolf 06-21-07, 02:24 PM	And as sor that "take every base class in every book" build above, we actually had a ranger/barbarian/fighter/wizard/rogue in one campaign I was in.

Yeah....I forgot about that things....anyways, taht would still be an odd character....likely has urges to just Oh! I feel like trying this.....but now its boring.....
rampant 06-21-07, 04:53 PM	Ninja+cleric trust me its just sick and wrong. Paladin+Wilder you are one dangerous mofo. Knight+Swashbuckler with spiked chain, twisted has a new name. Scout+Lion totem barbarian,... just say no.

Taeurus_Spfiinxer 06-21-07, 08:25 PM	Bahamut, it didn't say in the original post that they HAD to work, just which ones we thought would be interesting. Fighter(species with powerful build, and has weapon prof. allie and Fling Allie feat I believe it's called)/ Hulking Hurler (where you toss your Allie) everyone has fun XD. And if they're small, then it's a midget toss yay! Half-orc Swashbuckler/Monk (interesting idea of the bringing in the alternative classes) What about Rogue/Philosopher?
Roland_of_the_Eld 06-21-07, 09:47 PM	warblade/duskblade/psychic warrior It uses magic, psionics and manuevers. It also is nice in melee, and can wear medium armor and heavy shield without spell failure

So a Barbarian/anything could read once that anything that can read is taken. Andy

turalisj 06-24-07, 03:26 PM	Eberron Campaign Setting. I've been told by some people it's the only reason they have the book :P Artificer/Paladin: I have it! A weapon so powerfull, it will wipe out every undead in existance! Bwahahahah! Pelor: Did he just do an evil laugh? Ok, no more paladinship.
JudgeK 06-24-07, 03:27 PM	Once you take a level of a class that isn't illiterate, a barbarian gains the ability to read. Thus, a barbarian/wizard or barbarian/archivist is feasible. I think it's safe to rule that a sneak attack from a flanking position is an even worse breach of knightly protocol (if you CAN sneak attack without the flanking bonus - you have to catch your opponent off-guard to do it), and striking a flat-footed opponent is a no-no. So your knight/rogue CAN exist, if he doesn't mind not having any knight's challenges ever. Also, all those armor-related abilities your knight half gets? Useless, because you lose your rogue powers if you wear any more than light armor. Even carrying a shield is illegal. The Knight says you don't get the +2 bonus from flanking... You're still flanking though.
Magocrat 06-24-07, 03:27 PM	A samurai/ninja... I don't know about in D&D, but historically, in feudal Japan, they were enemies... Not to sound too sagacious, but ninja were actually samurai who were exceptionally suited for stealth, and because of their suitability, asked to do stealth missions for their lords. heretic666 has an array of handy links for that kind of knowledge in his signature.
Demon_Paladin 06-24-07, 03:42 PM	Warforged Swashbuckler 3/Ninja 2/Dread Pirate 5/Ninja X is a character who can cause a lot of damage because the polar opposites within the character lead to a spontaneous nuclear explosion. (Bold added by me) A robot ninja pirate We should be hitting critical mass any second now...
Slightly_Unscrewed 06-24-07, 06:20 PM	Thief-Acrobat/Dwarven Defender: That dwarf just wall kicked up the alley, leaped over the roof tops, tumbled through the troop's lines...and now is defending the objective more effectively than a stone wall.
Salla 06-24-07, 06:21 PM	Eberron Campaign Setting. I've been told by some people it's the only reason they have the book :P. Which is a shame, 'cause it's the best campaign setting ever. :)
turalisj 06-24-07, 08:39 PM	Dat true, dat true... Elven Thief Acrobat/Ranger/Wizard/Arcane Archer: "So...you're saying an elf ran along the wall while firing bolts of green energy from his bow, then tight roped across the communication lines and killed the minister?"
Evicmar 06-24-07, 08:54 PM	Cleric of Pelor/Dread Necromancer has got to be a weird combo. You make the world safe from undead by raising every potential undead in the realm and then destroy them. I wouldn't want to adventure with him cause if you died you wouldn't like it as a zombie for 6 seconds.
turalisj 06-24-07, 08:57 PM	Dread Necs cannot be good though. Bard/Dread Nec: OMFG! IT'S MICHEAL JACKSON! :eek: HIDE THE YOUNG BOYS!
windscar18 06-24-07, 08:59 PM	...Dread Necs cannot be good though. Who says he's not True Neutral? :P. That's one step away from Neutral Good.
turalisj 06-24-07, 09:06 PM	>.<' Good point. Personaly, I'd love to see a good version of the dread nec that makes deathless.
Evicmar 06-24-07, 09:33 PM	Bard/Dread Nec: OMFG! IT'S MICHEAL JACKSON! :eek: HIDE THE YOUNG BOYS! More like a death metal singer/guitarist. :devil:
Peregrine_Wolf 06-24-07, 09:50 PM	Wizard/Dwarven Defender/Dervish Weeeeeee.......I can't dance because I'm standing here like a rock and getting horribly beaten up.....WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Taeurus_Spfiinxer 06-25-07, 02:47 AM	I just thought of something really weird and possibly fun =D... A Dragon with Bard// Blood Fury "You didn't like my opera?! GGGGGGGGGAAARRRRRRRRR" and to this day the poor theater critic's spleen has never been found *moment of silence* :P
TriOmegaZero 06-26-07, 02:24 AM	Who says he's not True Neutral? :P. That's one step away from Neutral Good. But you can only be a TN cleric of a TN god. Pelor doesn't allow TN. So that leaves Obad-hai...
Waldo_di 06-26-07, 08:41 AM	Barbarian/Assassin, Knonk "After I Kill Him with big AXE i study him for rounds and use dagger for special death attack, Knonk a geenuise"

TaiSharShaidar 07-02-07, 02:34 PM	DuskBlade/Favored Soul Party: Hey healer we are dieing here! DB/FS: 5 ft step into center of party full attack striking the fighter who drops and then is healed, cleave to the next...and repeat Party: Ouch why did you hit...hey my wounds are healed
Leo 07-02-07, 06:03 PM	Scout/dwarfen defender I knew something was wrong Cleric with the war domain, apostle of peace "Once I kill them all, there will be no more violence"
Waldo_di 07-02-07, 08:38 PM	Barbarian/Cleric- "Kronk, it's a dead end!" "Ok, Kronk bring back to life! :D" That's one of my characters :(
somethings90 07-03-07, 02:26 PM	Samurai/Barbarian "Kronk have honor. Kronk learn honor from dah-me-oh. Now Kronk must smash honorless dogs. Kronk SMASH!" In Rokugan the Unicorn tribe's barbarians are considered samurai, but in most cases a Samurai/Barbarian is a weird idea. A weird multiclass would be any Meldshaper/Binder.
BreegJac17 07-03-07, 03:42 PM	(Barb/monk)Be a chaos monk and it'll be fine. On anothor note Ex-Barb/Dwarven Defender " Just picture a dwarf just standing there screaming at you and throwing curses, but it can't move...
Scottbert 07-04-07, 02:20 AM	(Bold added by me) A robot ninja pirate We should be hitting critical mass any second now... Here it is -- Warforged charger swashbuckler/ninja/dread pirate. monkey ninja pirate robot.
Spiritbear 07-04-07, 09:25 PM	Ok Barbarian/oppostle of piece. Lets see that one. Gron will make you sit and be happy or gron will knock you out.
Manyfist 07-04-07, 11:30 PM	Barbarian/Rogue "Kronk sneak! What Kronk is spotted?! Kronk RAGES! Kronk sneak attacks with Greataxe!" Druid/Ninja "What you mean the Bear just vanish out of thin air?" Warlock/Druid "So Kenny you're telling me, that a giant bear was flying around blasting people with purple projectiles (Eldritch Blast) and screeching (Baleful Utterance) destroyed your homework?"
TheAnthroDM 07-05-07, 02:25 AM	How about a Samurai/Ninja. With Katana Swordchucks. Made of Uranium. A samurai/ninja... I don't know about in D&D, but historically, in feudal Japan, they were enemies... In feudal Japan most ninja were samurai.
TheAnthroDM 07-05-07, 02:28 AM	Bard/Assassin. Phantom of the Opera anyone?

RoseRed 07-12-07, 12:32 AM	Swashbuckler/ninja. you are now a ninja/pirate. I don't think that it'd be Ninja/Pirate but a Pirate/Ninja that you made. :plotting: I've always wanted to play a Dread Pirate/Necomancer (maybe pale master) so that I can plunder the world with undead. I mean, think of how many ships there are in the sea..sunk....raise them and the sailors that died with them....instant army!:invasion: :dancin:

JolanthusTrel 07-12-07, 09:25 AM	The barbarian\bard.... I'd love to hear the lute or drum solo of the barbarian bard while in his rage! Cleric\Bard... God rocker or gospel singer your choice Ranger\Bard... Goes around singing to little animals in the forrest. Druid\Bard... The Ultimate hippie folk singer

Shining_Darkness 07-27-07, 03:12 AM	Bard/Assassin. Phantom of the Opera anyone? I actually used that for a low-profile villain. He had a great day job. Here's a couple: Monk/Blackguard. Easily meet the requirements, but just seems... off. Reminds me of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, though. Druid/fighter. "I'm fully proficient in heavy armor, I'm just not allowed to wear it."
bfiggins 07-27-07, 03:22 AM	I don't know if anyone's done this kind of thread before or not, so I decided to start it... Anyways, certain classes probably wouldn't work out for onbe character... Here's a few example to start things off... 1. Barb/Bard: Just imagine the barbarian, "Kronk" (no, not Kronk from Emperor's New Groove...), saying something like, "Wait! Kronk want play music now!", and pulling out an instrument... On the plus side, they do make good drummers... I've come up with the Bardbarian before. It was a Barbarian with a few ranks in Perform. If anyone complained about his music, he raged.

Grumman 07-27-07, 12:09 PM	Sandshaper/Ardent Dilettante - Get killed, get back up 10 minutes later with no penalty.
GazeboParadise 07-28-07, 02:27 AM	Soulknife/incarnum blade. kinda fun i think
Tengu 07-31-07, 11:02 AM	A samurai/ninja... I don't know about in D&D, but historically, in feudal Japan, they were enemies... Or a Paladin/Necromancer... Animate Dead, Destroy Undead... HOURS of fun... lol. Only in comics did they hate each other as a rule, in real life it is much less clear... Samurai is a social class and many from the Samurai class - even women - were also ninja. This may happen if a Samurai clan were not in favor with the Dyimo and were living off the land for a while... or you may be a ronin that became ninja. Of course, a samurai clan that was in favor and was also ninja was great for spying and assassinations…
Im_Hiding_In_Your_Closet 08-09-07, 04:37 AM	Bard/Assassin. Phantom of the Opera anyone? BAAAAAA.....Ba-ba-ba-ba-BAAAAMMMMM!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: I've wanted to see him in a D&D game. I'd always thought he'd make a good Warlock, too.
Im_Hiding_In_Your_Closet 08-09-07, 04:55 AM	Druid\Bard... The Ultimate hippie folk singer Though he/she/it'd have to be CN or NG - not quite the CG that makes a really really real hippie. How about Barbarian Archivist? :D "What do you mean the Head Librarian can't read?" :eek: Dude, you've never heard of Conan the Librarian? Druid/alienist. You worship nature but seek power through its perversions. Mechanically sounder with that feat to use CHA for druid spells from the OotS site. As my mother observed, if something exists, isn't it, by definition, part of Nature? Clearly, this is simply an enlightened character who has moved past the provincial attitudes of others and sees the Big Picture. I'm reminded a little of an idea I had for something I tentatively refer to as "the Sphere Magus": somewhere between the Druid and the Astrologer, the Sphere Magus reveres and draws power from the planetary bodies of his/her/its local solar system (though mechanically, I sort of envisioned its powers as being sort of a missing link amongst clerical domains, soulmelds, and pact magic).
rex_subterrae1008 09-06-07, 01:44 PM	I believe it is possible for a cleric to fire a arrow that heals (as per the heal spell) everyone in a straight line.:D Smiting spell + ...? Smiting Spell + Penetrating Shot...

war_thog 09-10-07, 01:40 AM	Here's a ridiculous one. Bardarian War Hulk. Kronk wonts to sing! KRONK HAS NO TIME TO SING!
war_thog 09-10-07, 01:43 AM	Cleric of Pelor / Shadowdancer :D That reminds me of something I did once..... Deep Dwarf Cleric of Pelor. No multiclass there. Just hilarious combo of class, race and god :P Funniest line ever..... Rogue: "Ssshhh theres someone out there" Me: "WHAT!? SOMEONE OUT WHERE!?!?!" *Charges off in full plate* Rogue: *smacks head*
Xanaphia_Undomiel 09-10-07, 03:10 AM	My party has quite a few of these. 5 Barbarian/ 1 Bard /2 Dragon Disciple Orc named Ogrim The bard is because he wants to be a dragon disciple. He can't use spells (cha 6, wis 8) and bard gives more hitpoints. 3 Cleric/ 3 Wizard/ 2 Mystic Theurge Whoo, its Xanaphia! She spends all her skill points on Knowledge (chickens) and more languages. At level 8 she speaks 7 languages. She became a cleric to learn Celestial, after being a wizard to get a chicken familiar. 8 Druid He only ever prepares 4 spells. Flame Strike, Produce Flame, Call Fire (call lightning with fire damage), and Produce Water (occasionally the fires he makes are too big. From Complete Arcane, he changed his animal companion to a small fire elemental. This is one example of messing around with the multiclassing rules: 1 Bard/ 1 Cleric/ 1 Druid/ I Monk/ 1 Paladin/ 1 Sorcerer/ 1 Wizard. +14 base will save. Pretty good for level 7.
Easalyamusedoldman 09-10-07, 09:12 AM	Ninja/Pyrokineticist... Stealthy Fire!!!!

My 8th-grade biology teacher Back in 1st ed. I had a gnome named Theric Cleif the Cleric/Thief, who was actually a decent character despite the comedy value... Last year I ressurected the idea as a human who started out as a stealthy barbarian before finding his faith in Olidammara and runs circles around people acting as a combat medic sneak-attacking with one hand and healing with the other. Hmm, a Favored Soul of Pelor / Warlock tossing around bolts of golden yellow darkness would be interesting... :D

Vanity_Kills 09-17-07, 09:08 PM	I've totally done the Bard/Barbarian before. It was sweet, she carried around a cast-iron harp, and brained her enemies with it.
