I agree, Aerich. If I were starting over from the beginning, I might think differently, but it's a little late in my game to be adding 3 Ranger levels, I think.

I actually have this character right where I want him, and he's going to squat until the beginning of HoF mode.

He's at Ftr4/Rog3/Pal3/Ill6 (I was going to leave him at Ill5, but Ill 6 was the 16th level, and I wanted to boost his DEX 1 point).

His spellcasting isn't really my main focus on him, because I've never boosted his INT over the 18 he started with (unless I find a good item for him that boosts INT, I might need to boost it once to cast level 9 spells though). I use his spell slots on things that will boost his fighting prowess, like Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, and Mirror Image.
