Best multi-class builds for characters?

[DragonNoz]

I'm thinking of multi-classing Wenduag and the other companions, but I'm unsure of how or when I should do it? I keep thinking a Rogue build would fit Wendu pretty well, but I'm not sure.

Wendu works pretty well just as her base class but if you do want to multi, Cult Leader Warpriest or Colluding Scoundrel Hunter are pretty good options. In any case, it would be advisable to keep her ranged either with a composite bow or dual throwing weapons, axes being itemized the best. That way you don't throw away her decent Str score. Either way, multiclass her the first chance you get, on level 2.

There are a lot of companions, which ones do you intend to use and multiclass? What's your MC?

Well, I chose a Steelblood Bloodrager half-orc, but now I'm wondering if I should redo everything. I'm sitll pretty early in the game, and I just recruited Woljif. I was debating half-orc or Tiefling, and stopped on half-Orc. I'm thinking of keeping Seelah as a full Paladin, though a Hellknight seems pretty cool(though outside of Unfair, Seelah doesn't need to multi-class.) I'm also at the tavern, which is where I got Woljif.

Sorry for all the text, btw.

This is a forum. Write as much or as little as you like. It's kinda the point. If someone isn't interested in reading what you have to say, it is up to them. I asked, so I am.

Personally I rerolled a bunch of times before I settled on my first character for a playthrough. So I get where you're coming from. There's loads of choices.

Full Paladin is fine on Seelah. It's usually what I do. Paladin is actually one of the strongest classes for this particular title. Woljif is also fine as his base class, bar Hard or Unfair where precision damage immunity is more prevalent on mobs. Most of your Companions are actually fine as their base classes other than the ones that are multiclassed by default. It just brings options.

I saw that Wenduag could probably work as a Shifter, but I'm unsure if I should. I mean, themetically, it kinda fits.

Honestly, a class that works with her high dexterity would work best.

Broadly anything is going to work particularly if you play off the stat strengths.

i went with Fighter/Kineticist. I do not know if that was wise or not, but I do not care: I'm making Wenduag the way I want.

Wenduag as Manticore is powerful as heck. I'm playing with it now, and if you do Ulbrig's stuff early in Act 3, your get ridiculous gear for her.

Never thought of this before, but it seems so obvious now.

Wenduag has good warrior stats and her class is fighter, so you're pretty much free to multiclass her into any martial class you want. A good char is still going to be a good char, whatever the variant you choose.

I've done cult leader, pure fighter, hunter, bloodrager (with come cha items to get the spells).
They all worked fine on wenduag.

[DragonNoz]

as for stat allocation for my half-Orc bloodrager, I went for... 15 Strength, 18 Con, 12 int, 10 wis, 14 Charisma and 13 Dex. basically taking a hit and giving out hits, decently nimble and charismatic, has above-average intelligence, and has pretty much general common sense(in terms of personality).
I THINK this is viable, but I'm not entirely sure.

[jonnin]

depends of course, but for wendu I would run her fighter level up a few times to be sure you have her key archery feats (point blank, precise, rapid at the least) then swap her to rowdy (rogue subtype) to get vital strike and sneak attacks. The warpriest one works too but her diety is at odds with your needs; you want good or law to buff your attacks with damage and she isn't either. That is kinda minor but her blessings all seem pretty poor and wasted. I think she is also gonna railroad into inflict instead of heal for her "lay on hands" like skill. That leaves you with 25% or so of the warpriest toys not doing much and a reduced sneak attack (compared to the rogue idea) and meh spellcasting power (her wisdom is crap).

you can also take her to some sort of melee build, slayer/ranger etc to run dual wield (she qualifies for the feats but slayer keeps the sneak attack ideas while ranger gets enemy (demons (evil outsider)? mostly) and a pet...
