wild mage (favorite so far, in ToB currently)
figher/mage/theif
mage
theif
ranger
cleric
bard (quickly aborted, didnt like it too much)


i'd like to stay away from a spell caster, or pure spell caster i should say. what types of fighters are fun? Oh, i'm also thinking strongly of being a half-orc. so that limits me to fighter kits, clerics, barbarian, and theif kits. leaning towards a berserker. how are wizard slayers? they seem appropriate given who you're hunting down (in SoA and ToB).

For Wizard Slayer, how much does the inability to use magical items besides armor and weapons come into play? does this include potions?

maybe i'll play some kind of Outcast/Misfit party. Myself, Viconia, Heardallis, and Cernd [img]smile.gif[/img] None of them quite in the domain of normal society.

peace,
dulouz.
Half-Orc barbarians are strong; so are kensais. Wizard slayers cannot use potions, last I checked. Berserkers are always solid, but if you have never played a barbarian then give it a try. There are plenty of NPC clerics in the game, so no real need to play one yourself (it's not like the four main romances in the games are priests or anything ). I generally steer away from Wizard slayers, unless I have at least one cleric in the party (then again, you could challenge yourself by playing one without a cleric...).

I guess it all depends on what you want to play. The Half-Orc barbarian is the normal stereotype, and is a solid combination. However, it is kind of cool playing outside the mold by playing a kensai (everyone probably makes fun of him, thinking he is trying to act more "cultured" than he is. That is, until he dices them to shreds with his katanas...).
