Well, that's another option I could take. I could easily-enough get by just multiclassing and not entering into an Advanced class. I like the idea of being able to get by with whatever is on hand, I'm not sure that's going to be a problem unless we get captured and have to escape somewhere without any equipment. That's entirely possible as a future adventure, but it's also unlikely to come up very often. Improved Evasion and Skill Mastery, however, are probably worth taking the class, though they don't come into play until level 7-8 at the earliest.
Even then, these things are more a benefit to me alone. I need to think about what will best aid the team as a whole.
