How does multiclassing effect your attack rolls?

Kell Swiftsword · 11-02-2002, 12:17 PM

I have an 11th level ranger and want to multiclass to a ranger/rogue. Does this mean my attacks will now be based as a 1st level rogue, or does that apply just to his thieving abilities?

I think the simple answer is that you use whichever is better.

Are you planning on getting several levels as a rogue, or just a couple?

If you're going to add several levels of rogue that may be interesting, but if you're only thinking one or two levels rogue, I don't think its worth it. I'm 11th level overall, 9 fighter/2 rogue. The rogue offers some neat things, but if I had it to do all over again, I'd stay straight fighter class.

Of course a ranger could seriously increase his hiding skill through the addition of rogue levels.

No, you will retain your attack bonuses from the Ranger Class. The attack bonuses stack, for example, a level 10 fighter/level 10 paladin would have identical attack rolls to a level 20 fighter.

Personally, I've always added a level of rogue to my fighters. Sneak attacks, and the ability to use scrolls etc. are real advantages.

I am currently running a dual katana wielding fighter/rogue (11/1) as my standard multi gaming tank and it seems to work fine

No figther should be without 3 levels of Rouge =)

Seriously, use any item, disarm trap and sneak attack makes it more than worth it.

Jim is right, the BAB bonuses of the different classes will stack together. Every time they go above an interval of 5, you'll get another attack.
