Im interested in playing an Elven Rogue with the dual-wielding feats. I've seen that lots of people that want to dual-wield start out as a ranger and then dual to their desired class. My question is, will dual-classing as a Ranger 1/ Rogue X Elf have really bad negative effects on my character? Will I still be able to hit Rogue level 20? Will the EXP penalty really mean anything?
If the 2 classes are within 1 level of each other there is no penalty. Once they are more than 1 level apart there is a 20% XP penalty. UNLESS...hehe.. 1 of the classes is a favored class for your race, then that class doesn't count toward the multiclass penalty. Examples: Elven rogue 5/ranger 4..no penalty. Elven rogue 5/ranger 3..20% XP penalty. Elven rogue 5/ wizard 1...no penalty because wizard is the favored race class. This is all on page 148 of the manual btw.
If you went half-elven you could do the dual thing easy with no penalties. I currently have a half-elven Paladin/Sorceror/Cleric 11/1/1 who is going fine.
