![]() ![]() If the latter, go mainly Wizard anyway, but invest more heavily in Rogue as I say, a little Rogue goes a long way, so a bit more Rogue goes an equal amounr further. Do you want to be a caster with some Rogue-ish tricks, or do you want to be a Rogue with some magical tricks? If the former, dip some Rogue a little Rogue goes a long way. 17/3 is really a Wizard with a Rogue dip, but can still have that "old-school" Thief/Wizard feel.Īt the end of the day, it comes.down to whether you want to mainly be a Rogue or a Wizard. You might want to consider giving more focus to Wizard though 14/6 gives you 8th lvl spells and enough Rogue to feel like one. Fey Toucheds spellcasting synergizes with a rogues typical party role. However, some magic is invaluable for any D&D 5e character. Most other subclasses use mundane means to get ahead. With an effective "caster level" of 14 at character level 20, you'll be playing with 7th level spells at your top end.just good enough to play with the big boys. Only the D&D Arcane Trickster subclass gets spellcasting naturally as a rogue. If your primary focus is being a caster with some Rogue-ishness, as your IWD character likely was, you'll want to aim at something like Wizard 11/Arcane Trickster 9. Pure Arcane Trickster is good, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's anywhere near a full-caster, or even a half-caster like you'd (effectively) get in Baldurs Gate/Icewind Dale. Start Rogue up to 5, then dip Bladesinger 3 (Mirror Image), then level up as you prefer: Wizard first to get nice spells, including self buff, or Rogue first for better damage, defense and Magical Ambush? Stack this with Bladesinger and you will be a golden boy for your party, a living nightmare for your enemies. Whatever happens, I would suggest taking Arcane Trickster at least to 11 though: you get Magical Ambush which is gravy with many spells, and Reliable Talent is always a great thing to have. ![]() A few levels in rogue will get you a lot of fun abilities. Be aware of that if you choose this subclass. The Arcane Trickster is worth noting because of its dependence on intelligence for casting. What do y'all think?Hi!Īnswer seems simple to me: if you like spellcasting, then you want a balanced multiclass. An arcane trickster could sneak attack just like a rogue. They also focus primarily on dexterity, which means they can multiclass without too much concern of being spread thin across ability scores. ![]() If I favor rogue, I miss out on the high level spells I want to eventually get, but if I favor wizard, I miss out on the high sneak attack damage later on. I was thinking of making one of my classic characters from when I used to play Icewind Dale a bunch, who was a Gnomish Illusionist/Thief and while I was looking it over for 5e I started to wonder if it was worth multiclassing or just going with the arcane trickster instead. ![]()
