Thanks for the response. Those numbers are quite impressive.

As to why I want the warlock in addition to bard and ranger, there are a few reasons. One is immersion, I like the bard and ranger class, but would also love to have some spellcasting abilities and as my CHA is good, the warlock seems most appropriate. Also I'm currently running with Karlagh, Laezel and Shadowheart, so no mage in the party so far. I want to try to keep this team as long as possible, but at one time I guess I will need a mage for counterspell and AOE spells. Maybe I can arrange that with multiclassing and keep my amazons in the team. (I even plan to enroll Minthara and possiby swap Shadowheart for her. I think a team with Minthy, Karlagh and Lae'zel would be a nice challenge)

I haven't studied the possibility to leave out a mage NPC very deeply yet. I first wanted some input whether "dilluting" levels over too many classes was a viable option, but your example proves it 's possible so I can take some time to study the possibilities.

Another reason for adding the warlock is that my PC is the spokesperson and I would love to have some spellcaster options in the discussions. The main reason why I chose a Duergar was actually to see if/what particular talk options and reactions this class would trigger. So far, disappointingly few. But I'm still working on the surface of act 1. I hope there will be more when I get into the underdark.

So thanks for the input, and I 'm curious for any other reports of 3 or more classed characters. The good and the bad.
