I'll develop these further, as I work on the individual entries.

Feedback is appreciated.
Rating Wizard/Artificer gold but Wizard/Cleric as merely sky blue seems overblown. Artificer 1 gives you medium armor and shields, but Artificer is less front-loaded than Cleric is: most of the good Artificer stuff only comes online at level 2+, and if you're going to dip two levels you are going to be tempted to go for Wizard/Fighter instead. The best thing about Wizard/Artificer, as Merduo pointed out in another thread, is INT-based Sanctuary, but overall I think it just deserves to be sky-blue in an overall tie with Fighter and Cleric.
