I just played a bit more with the Lich and here is some more info:

For a weapon it can use mage weapons or his Spectral Touch which increases in power with his level, he can also summon skeletons as an ability, his spellcasting is a bit like a Sorcerer because even though he memorizes spells he also uses "points" on them, when he has either not spell or no points left he can cast no magic, he is a bit slow though, I would rather play the Desolator, a ranger kit which can summon magical scimitars and shapeshift into Hakeashars and Nishruus.

hey Neb, i also have the psion kit, hows that?

I can't wander into a bunch of goblins - chopping them into bits.

Long live H22A1!!!!!

Gah! Magic Shmagic! I love Swashbucklers..there's something about their flamboyance and charm that makes them just plain Cool..Though I agree, magic is fun and VERY usefull in this game http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Isn't that "Live by the sword, Live a good ,long life!".
Well,i like to get up close and personal with melee weapons now.Its just more fun at the moment,and no ranged weapons either.I do like to have a cleric or druid in my party though for summoning spells though.
I have won all of the individual battles in the game with no spells,-just innate abilitys and potions .
Yeah, casting spells can be fun ,but so can squashing bad guys with a big hammer.

well, i just think that any fighter would get raped in broad daylight in combat with a half decent sorcerer! unless they had magic resistance.

I dont know about that malavon. I had a solo dwarven bezerker with boots of speed and belt of inertial barrier you can wait out any protective enchantment. I had my sorcerer fight my bezerker and vice versa and it seems its just who ever uses better tactics will win. Let us not even mention monks because they kick everyones ass.

Well what's wrong with a cleric http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
I think it's not only a matter of which is the best character class (if there even is such a thing) but also of which class suits your preference/personality best. I for one have always liked playing a cleric, just because I like the image and the type of person. I also think they are a very good class because of the combination of fighting skills (my first Priest of Lathander kicked ass with the Flail of Ages or a decent Mace and the Gorgon Plate +4, the Sentinel Shield etc.) and magic (Holy Smite is soooo good!). They can tank and cast great spells. Esp. at high levels, Holy Word, False DAwn, Sunray etc are great. A great combo is Ranger dualled to Cleric

Your voice is ambrosia

i ALWAYS play a fighter, chaotic good, and, in bg2 at least, a wizard slayer. (i just adore that kit.)
for me, it's never just whacking one guy and moving on to the next. not at all. i take care of the group tactics (jumping around from char to char): positioning my fighters to ensure we always have the advantage, managing my cleric and mage while spell flinging, and making sure my thief is backstabbing and clearing out all toe traps BEFORE someone else finds them. ::rolls her eyes:: doing all this - with the battle music pounding out, minsc happily screaming orders to boo, jaheira, muttering and weaving spells to confuse the baddie troops, and me, snaking thru the ranks to reach their deeply entrenched sorceror - all while staring down the monster's throats.... now that's FUN!

V***V
