Lookig for some Multiclass tips


Advice


I've never been much for multi-classing but in a game that starts this weekend I've been looking in to it. We don't currently have any divine casters which leaves us with very little in the way of healing magics.

My character is a Wildblooded Arial Sorcerer and has some great things lined up at higher levels along with the standard big hitter arcane spells. Currently I just don't know how important the healing will be and how missed it may end up being so I started looking at a divine class for my character as well in case it becomes a bit of an issue.

What looks to be one of the cooler options to go into is the Storm Druid. I have also looked at several Oracle options but the Storm Druid seems to best thematical choice and if I put off the majority of divine levels till the end, the level 9 Storm Druid ability seems like a good 'capstone' power.

Any thoughts, tips, and/or suggestions?

I'm not looking for anything super powered up or 'optimized' just wondering what other points of view may be on subject. Who knows what I may have missed. I have never tried to multiclass and this is the only Sorcerer I've yet to play in this type of rules set so it's all new to me.

As always any input is greatly appreciated.


UMD can cover this. As a sorcerer you should have a decent charisma to help with the UMD check.

Multiclassing in caster classes was always a bit touch-and go, except at really high levels if you can find a way to get the classes to stack (Mystic Thurge for example). your caster levels, available spells, and access to higher level spells will always lag.

In PF it seems like it's even worse, not so much because any new nerfs have been added but because each class gets moar and better abilities in PF the more you level in it, and taking levels in a class outside your Favored Class - well what you gain from leaving your main class has to be particularly good if it'ss to be worth the opportunity cost.

Gauss is right, you'd be better off just putting points into UMD and getting scrolls or wands for whatever spells you want to cast outside of your main.


Pathfinder made multi-classing a breeze. My group does not have a Cleric and we use "cleric in a bottle i.e. potions of healing" before we go anywhere. For your character though it can be tricky. What does your wisdom look like? Gauss was right about UMD that could really help out without making the dip into a healer. What about taking a dip into fighter? You get a lot of feats and more choices at weapons and armor. Thinking about that, you might as well go Magus!
