Basically, why doesn't the title MC exist? We have F/M/T, but why for no F/C/T? Sorry if this topic has been done to death, but a quick search of the forums didn't show any such discussion.

On a related note, can anyone recommend a C/T DC that might mimic F/C/T a bit? Really I just want fighter for the weapon specializations.

    EEKeeper the CT to ** in your weapon. Simple.

    Dual class a Swashbuckler into Cleric. If you do this after getting UAI you can even use swords.

    It doesn't exist because it doesn't exist in PnP.

    With some modding you can create a Fighter/Cleric/Thief. I managed to cook up a functional Cleric/Mage/Thief once.

    You would create a Cleric/Thief, edit the proficiency tables to give it extra pips, let it take two in any weapon, and then add in permanent passive APR and THAC0 bonuses from custom items or spells (0.5 at level 1 to reflect weapon specialization, then at levels 7 and 13). Finally, you give it an XP penalty of 66%, in order to slow down its growth a bit, reflecting a triple-class's level progression. Your saving throws might not be perfectly accurate, but they would be close, and adding a little HP per level will balance out the character a little more.

    The only problem is the XP penalty delays the onset of HLAs, compared to a normal triple-class. To get around this, you could edit the XP tables to slow down the FCT's growth rates.

    You'd have to go to some trouble to get a Fighter/Cleric/Thief, but it can be done.
