what are the top 5 characters that you can create in BG2

1)Kensai/Mage
2)Cleric/Mage
3)Cleric/Ranger
4)Monk
5)Archer

bump

1) My soloed Fighter/mage/thief
2) Bard
3) Mage/thief
4) Mage/Cleric
5) Fighter/Cleric

Hmm, I would be curious to know how a bard could possibly be more powerful than a kensai, monk, berserker, or virtually any other character. They sorta suck.

1/Cavalier
2/Berzerker
3/Ranger
4/(Dwarf)Fighter/cleric
5/Swashbuckler

1.Assassin - They are fun to play and can do lot´s o´ backstabbing damage!(plus that mages won´t be any trouble when you use some poison on them) http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
2.Sorcerer - Powerful... That´s all I can say
3.Undead Hunter - Many undead in SoA and you can use Carsomyr too http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
4.Berserker - Especially if you play as a dwarf since they fit the class best!
5.Conjurer - The best specialist mage

I´m NOT putting out the monk, since I don´t think that he fits to the story. Plus that they are power gamer characters... I HATE MONKS!!!!

1)Conjurer(Summons are the most powerful spells IMO)
2)Fighter/druid(Druid who can wear plate, sweet!)
3)Assassin(Tons of fun and DMG)
4)Berserker(The ultimate tank)
5)Undead Hunter(holy sword+tons of undead stomping=nice character)

These might not be the most efficeint characters, but I have a lot of fun with them none the less.

1) kensai/mage or berserker/mage - very powerful.
2) kensai/thief - does the most damage with backstab. (Yes, a lot more than an assassin)
3) ranger/cleric (dualled) - also very powerful
4) monk - very nice at high levels
5) archer

It's been a while since I played, but I know these are the best.

I totally agree with you there floyd, but there is one good use for bards. If you like challenge, then play with one. I soloed with a bard at the highest difficulty, and I must say I had more fun with the bard than I had with my fighter/mage/thief (it was too powerful).
