I like the fact of some class feats and skills being limited to that class. With the enchanting forge one can get spells and other things added of other classes to use. Yes but some people say" But that costs so much gold and Xp". Yes it should.

The restrictions make things challenging. For instance Marister is a pure ranger and as such is unable to take skills in UMD so cannot use wands or rods. So that comes to a decision one has to make. Does one stick with the ranger or take a few rogue levels so they can use devices? Personally for Marister I have decided to stay pure ranger. Eventually if he ever gets enough gold he may enhance items with spells. Also this place has quests by which you can get special items to augment what you lack.

Caramiriel is a powerful Druidess yet some arcane spells, especially defensive, are a nice back up. So she saved her gold and added some arcane spells to items she
has which has saved her and her traveling buddies at times. Many times she rarely has to use them but they are a nice back up.

This is just my personal view. :)

Is it multi classing that you want to avoid or is it just that rouge doesn't fit in with your characters personality, because if your character has an interest in wands or rods then they might feel inclined to study wizardry, but if your talking about your own desire to use rods or wands then I understand.
