O.k., which is better, the Cleric/Ranger multi-class or the Fighter/Druid dual-class?
The cleric/ranger multi-class has the advantages of both cleric & druid spells, turning undead, stealth, tracking, and an extra attack when not using a shield. However, although there are some great blunt weapons in the game, the C/R cannot use edged weapons or bows, or any armor/items that can't be used by those of good alignments. Also, compared with the F/D, the C/R will level up more slowly early in the game.
The fighter/druid gets immunity to fatigue & poison, shape-change, and some the best summons spells in the game. Fighter/druid levels go up quickly and they get powerful a little earlier than the R/C. They miss out on some of the better weapons, but can still use daggers, scimitars, spears, and some armor/items usable by neutral characters (i.e, Baleful Mail might be nice for early in the game).
