Multi-class in RohanWith Rohan Crone would be more efficient. There are basic guidelines for multi-classing one character. There are times where breaking these guidelines are okay, but generally they will hold true from build to build. Breaking the guidelines merits a close look at the benefits gained. First, look at the primary ability scores of each class. For example, fighters, barbarians and rangers all share strength, constitution and dexterity as important ability scores for their classes. Bards, paladins and sorcerers all use charisma as important abilities scores for their class features and skills.
Therefore, if you made, for example, a sorcerer/paladin multi-class, points in charisma would be more efficient. By the same token, wisdom is not a primary ability of fighting classes, so a cleric and fighter combination would be less wise regarding the blend of their ability scores.
Second, look at the class features of each class. Fighters gain a bonus feat at level one, and then every even level after that. So the best time to change from fighter to another class is after an even level. Another time to look at class features is when they are diluted by lower levels. A multi-classed cleric loses a lot of effectiveness in his turning ability in comparison to the hit dice of the undead he meets as he gains in levels.
Third on one list of items to look at are base attack bonuses and saving throws. There are certain levels when taking a level of a class is less useful because one does not get a save or base attack bonus. A wizard does not gain saving throws at levels 5 or 7, so it is better to switch class from wizard at levels 1-4, 6 or after 7, when considering saving throws.
