I have always been a bit sceptic about multiclassing in D&D, but I have recently begun to see the advantages in it - at least at lower levels.

Especially combining anything with fighter/paladin/barbarian simply for acces to the martial weapon class.

What are your prefered combinations?

And what combos work even at higher levels?

P.S. I am not making this a poll as that would be too many options, and I want arguments/tips.

I had good luck with a Ranger/Rogue combo once. Lots of damage on when sneak attacking a favored enemy. A Ranger/Rogue/Order of the Bow Initiate would probably do well too.

Mostly I've had good luck pairing certain races with certain classes. My current favorite is a half-dragon battle sorceror. Half-troll Barbarian is also a good thing.

Most often I do a primary class with one or two prestige classes. I played a centaur as a monster class, added two levels of ranger and then went with Order of the Bow Initiate. Pretty nasty. I have a Catfolk Scout/Dervish that should be impressive once I get the levels on him.

I tried Ranger/Druid, and didn't end up very good with either one. Mostly I find Fighter is a good secondary class due to the extra feats you get. Anyone else?

Tony just introduced me to swashbuckler a couple of days ago, Eric and I have been experimenting, combined with the duelist class, can get nice...combine with 1 lvl monk and get some good AC. Tony recommends also slapping on one of the ninja of the cresent moon classes too, lol

in 3.5 ninja of the crescent moon wis bonus no longer stacks with monk bonus.

ninja/monk/shadowdancer can be quite an interesting combo, especially if you throw in some wu jen or chaos mage levels so you have a couple superspells.

also, hexblade/warmage can be an interesting multiclass combo if the DM allows the arcane caster levels to stack.

I forgot to mention Tempest and Dervish as an excellent prestige class combo.

is tempest still a class? what book are they in?

if you can somehow get multiple arms as a dervish that would be insane with Dance of a Thousand Cuts.

Tempest: Complete Warrior, if memory serves
Dervish: Complete Adventurer

I may have that backwards though.

Edit: I did. Dervish is in CompWarrior, so Tempest is in Comp Adv, which makes more sense because Tempest was based off rangers who do 2 wpn style.

Scout/Dervish seems like a good combo because skirmish will apply on most attacks.
I have a Catfolk (who gets higher speed) Scout (which also gets speed boosts) so I can move farther and gain the bonuses (and get more move speed from Dervish also).
Add Dash and the Run feats and he can haul ass! Actually he's focuing on 2 wpns and scimitars though. Spring Attack is also one for him if I recall right.

actually, warlock(complete arcane)/rouge do well. Warlocks get 1 or 2 powerful spells like "invisibility for 24 hours" and things like that. Its obvious how that can help a rouge.

well i have a fighter cleric 6 on each and i just think its a tank
