And even then, with the ability to cast wish as an immediate action once a day, it would take two iterations of "rocks fall, everyone dies" in quick succession. Would they be a -3 tier? cause I want to think so. | |

I was just suggesting that through the power of multiclassing (read like He-Man talks), you could go fairly low tier at first, and end up fantastic. Compare to the straight classed wizard. Everyone knows what they are up to... Usually. The example I gave for above for a tier 3 being increased suffers from MAD, and would be feat hungry. But use of an "up two tier" prestige class really made a difference. | |

| Jun 29, 2016 at 15:32 | comment | added | kleineg | Who said anything about barbarian? The character could be a swordsage, or bard, or warlock, or binder... any two or any one with a prestige class. the Sublime Arcanamach from KRyan's gish answer starts with 5 levels in tier 3 or lower base classes. 8 levels of factotum gets multiple standard actions a round, warblade patches BAB holes (allowing you to drop Suel and Eldritch Knight)... 9th-level arcane spells, 8th-level maneuvers, Cunning Surge = win. | |
