In my party Kagain, Shar-teel and my guy (3lvl fighter/5lvl mage) uses shield. Best shield what has come along by chapter 5 is small/medium shields +1 (2 mages costs like hell, can't buy new shields)
And those who may laugh to my character, beware! [img]smile.gif[/img] Ac -5 (with robe, and blur spell),mirror image, 11 thaco = kick ass for now, later maybe not but at this point it beated kagain who had 11 thaco and 75hp, ac -2 (had to test it [img]smile.gif[/img] )
