IMO that was one of the more sillier inventions of TSR - creating a wizard who would specialize in a rare occurences of magical chaos... Personally I'm glad they're gone.
Have they been left out of 3E?
I must admit that I have always liked the concept and playing BG2 where they added to Wild Mage to the expansion pack and the wild magic and dead magic areas only enhanced this. Some of my players have considered playing once as well although they think that some of the wild surge results are a bit too boring.

| Rogue is hands down my favorite class. I just love the whole concept of thievery/assassination. Its so much more fun to roleplay than other classes. I often mutliclass with a bit of a fighter and some ranger, for the bonus...but my characters are usually at least 12 lvl of rogue. I also LOVE necromancers. I believe the most poular class iseither ranger, rogue, or fighter. oh and btw, i cant stand bards. sorry. |

I'm really fond of Wild Magic.
I think it adds excitement to the game (well sometimes it's exciting for the wizard... and not for long )
They are gone in the 3rd edition but you can easily use the 2nd edition rules. (TOT trilogy or Comple Wizard Handbook) |

| Hehehe... another Wild mage fan. W00t! *dances happily for a minute* Sorcerors are pretty cool- they may not know many spells, but when you have some good ones (spider spawn, fireball) they're deadly. |

Since the only campaigns I've ever played were using the computer games, I was basically playing a number of characters, so I didn't like multiclassing. The only exception was with the game Dungeon Hack, where you only have one character. I still disliked the fact that I rose in experience only half as fast, but I liked the combination of mage/cleric. You get Improved Identify and Haste, as well as healing spells, Create Food and Water and -- my favorite clerical fighting spell -- Spiritual Hammer.

For powergaming, monk is my favorite.
For role-playing, I prefer cleric. I've played more clerics in my (A)D&D career than any other class, no question.
In general, I don't like characters with lots of goofy, arbitrary, level-dependent powers (like monks, bards, barbarians or druids) and I've never enjoyed playing mages.
I'm bringing this over from the "Worst multi-class" topic.
Multi-classes off the top of my head that I think make the most sense are:
Barbarian/sorcerer
Barbarian/druid
Barbarian/ranger
Bard/rogue
Cleric/paladin (paladins ought to be able to always cross-class as clerics of their diety in my opinion)
Druid/ranger
Fighter/almost anything
And, even though it's "against the rules" for a monk to cross-class freely as a rogue:
Monk/rogue (to be ninja-like) |

Yes, I agree. Paladins ought to be able to multiclass freely as clerics, and perhaps the other way as well (assuming alignment to be right for a paladin). Same with rangers and druids, I think.
And there's precedent for a monk to multiclass. You have to be a member of a particular order. For instance, there's a monastic order that can multiclass as a wizard so long as the wizard level is equal to or less than the monk level. |

I found the listing of monastic orders. They're on page 25 of the FRCS. The ones you'd be interested in are:
Hin Fist (Neutral or Good): Can multiclass as fighters, rogues, and paladins. Only for halflings, though.
Long Death (Evil): Can multiclass as fighters, assassins, and blackguards. Strong in Thay.
Old Order (Neutral, sometimes Good, rarely Evil): Can multiclass as rogues, sorcerers, and shadowdancers. Monk levels must exceed the combined non-monk levels.
Sun Soul (Good or Neutral): Can multiclass as one other class, so long as the monk levels are greater. Followers of Lathander, Selune, and sometimes Sune. |
