Dual wield. And Aurican a Bladesinger is Fighter/Mage not a Fighter/Mage/Thief

Yes, I know that, but I find the concept of an elf that cannot sneak kind of weak. I was going for the roleplaying aspect.

Actually, if you want to get technical, a bladesinger cannot use magic while they duel wield either, how would you implement that into the game?

I know that to but I dual wield because I can not cast magic and defend at the same like the PnP Bladesinger

I tend to be a hack 'n slasher. I like to have a couple of tanks to head out the team, plus a Cleric, who is also handy with a mace. If the opposition looks tough, I will get my Mages to chuck a few fireballs or other area spells to soften 'em up before I send in the tanks - and of course, my Thief checks out the terrain first, so I know where to throw, or set up an ambush, before she gets 'em to chase her... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...hterpurple.gif

hack 'n slash is one of the preferred types of gaming for me, altho it gets boring after awhile. im experimenting w/ a magic-strong party, and i kick ass cuz 3 high-lvl magic missiles w/ bows and crossbows firing off can take an ettin down in 1 turn! so i like to balance magic w/ fighting, tho i tend to go fighting and ignore my mages...seeing as how they die so easily in melee combat

Depends on the character choice
.
My first game is alwasy with a tank - i lead creatures from the edge of groups into ambushes and butcher them
Second game may either be a different tank
Whether or not, my nextgame will be magical
My 3rd character is ALWAYS named John Lennon (no matter WHAT the CRPG)
My 4th game (if I go that far) will multi-class whichever worked best - in BG2 I went Fighter/Mage/Thief and loved the hide-backstab-run-hide-repeat routine

Being a tank is fun, going in swords glistening in the sun is great . . .but throwing 15 magic missles from three magic users is fun two . . .http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

My character is a level 19 fighter and I love dual wield with the equalizer and the blackrazor. (Imported.) I use every fighting style, but my assasin always goes into the battle first with a few rings of invisibility. How's that for a strategy? Do you know anything else that can do a 102 damage with a critical hit? No don't say sunray.
