    [​IMG] In two weeks, me and my friend will start a new adventure with new characters...

    there's one dwarf fighter, one half-orc barbarian, one gnome sorcerer. and I don't know what to take... because the guy who will play as a sorcerer is a real newbie to D&D and I think he will have a hard time with a sorcerer and he absolutly want a sorcerer so be it.

    but, with this group, I don't know what to take, I want some spellcasting ability, healing abilities too so, a cleric would be a good choice but if we consider the newbie as a sorcerer, I should take some level in a mage or sorcerer. oh and by the way, we will play with the 3rd edition rule.

    And with all that, we will start lvl 4 of character level. I just don't know what to do. I have never multiclass cleric and mage, I have played both in the pass but not together... don't know what to do.

    Any help is welcome :)

    Make him familiar with the rules and his character out of the game. The DM should help with this. For example, the DM could have a tutor along with the sorcerer through the first session, who teaches his him lessons in game. Sort of like an ingame tutorial. This will help your "newbie" familiarize himself with the game. The role of tutor can also be played by the sorcerer's familiar for example. The familiar could give comments or advice on certain situations to the noob sorcerer.

    I think you can safely take a full cleric class, instead of multying, if the person new to the system is properly "educated". Yes he'll make mistakes, and your party might end up paying for it, but that's the fun of the game. It doesn't have to played to perfection.

    (My apologies for the mess in the post, I'm in dire need of sleep ;) )

    [​IMG] Thank you very much.

    I'll probably go for a straight cleric :) I will have better spell faster that way. I think it will help the two fighter of the group :)

    or maybe for one time I'll go for an evil cleric, hehe. perhaps :)
