I decided to try the game with 2 people, and it just hit me that I may not be diong it right. I wanted to have a monk, so my party is a fighter4/morninglordx and a rogue1/monkx. It just hit me that I may be lacking spells later in the game and, since my cleric is a awesome fighter, I mabye should have gone with 2 fighter4/clericxs. Im only at the horde fortress now, so I can start over easily. Should I?

Any combo can mak it through if they concentrate on the right skills(I don't mean right like in Diablo, but right like in specialisation). I find the PaladinX/Fighter4 and a ClericX/Ranger1 a powerfull mix.

I did a duo game too.

At first it started out as solo with a Barbarian/Thief, but it eventually got too hard, so I added a Druid with a few level of Ranger and it went great.

In the begining it was hard, but by the middle of the game they were overpowered and nothing could stop them.

Well, My disk drive spontaneously BLEW UP my disk, so Ill be starting a new 2p party along with a new disk, once it comes. Any suggestions for different guys or stats?

Slayer- Lawful Good Human
Fighter4/clericx
str-18
dex-12
con-18
int-3
wis-18
cha-7

Smacker- Lawful Good Human
Rogue1/Monkx
str-16
dex-18
con-18
int-3
wis-18
cha-3

Also, what stats should I develop with my monk? should I switch to 18 str and 16 dex or con? Thanks!

if you want to play a monk, ditch the 1 level of rogue. you can just bash open doors and locks. you have enough hp to withstand trap damage.

i had a monk as well though not with such extreme stats. but i did give him high strength (17 starting, upgraded to 18 as soon as possible). your main weapon as a monk is your stunning attack. this is part of the reason why people give their monks as high as possible a wisdom stat (to increase % chance of stun). but you should also give your monk the highest attack stat that you can to maximise the number of times that you try to stun the enemy. I'd drop some Dex and put the points into Str.

also, i don't really see the point of having 4 levels of fighter at low-mid levels. it doesn't make much difference to your BAB, certainly at low levels. At very high levels you'd be using mainly spells and summons to engage the enemy anyway. much better to focus on advancing as a pure cleric.
