That's cool if you build chars straight to level 40 of course. I tried making him from scratch through the OC first and onto HotU. Definately a 'late bloomer' so to say. Until great smite becomes available he's a bit lacking. Better take extra smiting too. If that one smite attack missed you're boned! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Egin, you can also find belts of hill giant strength later on so don't worry too much at all. Casting empowered bull's strength helps too.
Multi-classing at lvl 9-10 was about when you'll get to chapter 2 in the OC. (original campaign) That's when I usually do it. Save some skillpoints, take a thief level and suddenly you have permanent haste and about +7 in AC from your new gear! Why is perma-haste so important for wizzies? You can cast TWICE per round. Makes a HUGE difference.
I find level 10 wiz is good for chapter 2. Cone of cold+empowered fireball will destroy most opponents. So level to 10, take the empower spell feat from the bonus metamagic selection and rock on with a rogue level next.

Good luck!
