A level 1 Drider Wizard and Barbarian Mujliclass


Advice

Is this a good multiclass, what feats should I pick, etc. I want to wield scythes and Chakrams. In this 1n1 campaign, the Driders are the upper class and the drow are lower class. I am NE drider prince who is planning to kill his father to become the king. Also, roleplay tips are welcome

Huh? Where are those stats from?


Wizard and Barbarian don't have any synergy whatsoever, even with perfect stats like that. You can't cast while raging, every Barbarian level puts you behind in casting, and every other Wizard level delays your BAB increase. You lose out on armor because of Wizard. Psychic and Slayer might work a little better together for something similar- no rage stopping casting, and no spell failure chance preventing armor. You might consider Magus or Bloodrager for a class that combines some of what you want from both, though.


Maybe he means gestalt? Also as usual, Valafar's posts continue to result in mass confusion.


No, it's not a particularly good multiclass and it seems like your campaign is very non-standard, with that incredibly high stat array, and playing a monstrous race.

1) Keep in mind that raging will prevent you from casting spells.
2) You're still better off picking up two classes which will share an ability dependency.
3) For wanting to play a wizard and a barbarian you picked a race that gets bonuses to con and wisdom? You'd be much better off picking a class which was supported by your race.
4) Unless your GM is also giving you gestalt you probably shouldn't bother with multiclassing any class with spell casting. It's generally a bad idea unless you have a specific plan with it.

Eh, I'd disagree on the race/class combo being an issue. An 18 is great, and you only really care about not having a primary attribute racial penalty.

With stats like that, I'd probably try to do something that relies on lots of different attributes. Like a melee cleric, a str-based magus, or a melee paladin/warpriest.
