Thanks for the welcome again!

I started over and I have a Dwarf fighter with 19 cons.
he can have 15 hp points added per level, he's only level 5
but he has more hp than my level 8 ranger! it's crazy I tell
you, CRAZY!!! oooh k.... he travels alone and has full
proficiency on ax, but I just hate that fighters can be
overwhelmed so quikly.

I usually play a thief/ranger but bg doesn't let that happen so I'm stuck with a ranger, no matter though. I've just started over and I beat the nashkell mines with a level 3 ranger, greywolfs sword, L shield +1, fullplate, ring of protection+1, and a mace for the skeletons.

Prefered thief/mages, myself, or for characters I was going to export into BGII a thief dualed over. As someone said above I loved the power of a mage, since you can pretty well win any fight with their help. Also, using a mage almost forces you to work on who you accept into your party, since you have to be able to defend him/her while still covering all the basics...

am i right in thinking this is a good idea:

get right up to completing the game so high level then dualclass my main char to something else and build up as much as i can (wont overtake my other level obviously but will be worked up, atm im fighter) is it worth doing this because im thinking i work my way up as a mage maybe (hear their really hard in bg2) so by the time i go to take sarevok on im say lvl 10 fighter lvl 6 mage or something realistic with the exp left in the game, or any class doesnt matter, but is it feasible to do that would i get the benefits of having high hps, high warrior stats etc in addition to being a powerful magic wielder?

I like rangers simply because of the near - munchkin kit in the foirm of (SPOILER)Archer, not to mention the incredible ease of rolling their stats.

But then Fighter/Mage multiclass seems to appeal to me...the concept of those with multiple talents...

I like to use multi-class and dual-class characters, especially ones that aren't available as NPC's. Big problem here for me is that the small races can't dual-class.

Some of my favourites are Fighter/Mage, Cleric/Mage and Thief/Cleric. The latter is much underrated, I get a Thief to 100% in traps, then dual-class to Cleric and use him/her as a front line trap specialist. Who would you rather send forward to find the traps, a Thief/Cleric with full armour and 'Sanctuary' or dear little Imoen.

Mine favorite class is fighter,because of simple reason.He/she wont be first one to die,and can wear proper armor.This is quite boring class though,so sometimes nice change is needed.But I would NEVER again be a bard or have one in my party.

Why not bards? They can be fun if you know how to play with them. But then, they DO suck at ANYTHING, though...for that reason, or other statistical "problems", don't bother with eiither Garrick or Eldoth.

P.S. BTW, purre, Rangers, Paladins, CLerics, F/C can wear proper armours too.

You mentioned just the reasons I dont take bards,they may be fun,but they are weak and not very good at anything.I once was a bard myself,it was more horrible than I could have imagined.

hmm, favourite class [img]tongue.gif[/img] check my sig [img]tongue.gif[/img] lol, its a ranger: I have two tactics with my elf ;) a) longsword ("liberated" off greywolf) tower sheild +1 (or +2 if I can get it) full plate armour n a ring of protection +1. Boots of avoidence and bracers of archery [img]tongue.gif[/img] . tactic b) heavy leather armour, (stongest I can find) boots of stealth, stealthy gear, (he hides in the shadows) and my longbow of marksmanship.

second fav class is a mage.
