I was going to post the three topics together, but it's harder to find what you're looking for when a class selection topic is under "I'm back".
Down to business. I started a new game, but I can't select a class to use. I'd like some suggestions. Here are the classes, and why I'm considering using (and not using) them. The "a" section is pro's (for me), and the "b" section is for con's.
1a. Blade: the idea is great, *** in Two Weapon, the spins are very useful, UAI, access to spells in a fighter is always welcome, and the bard stronghold is more interesting than most others, high-level traps.
1b. Only * in weapons, can only use Elven and bardic Chain, needs a spell to vanish (as opposed to Stealth).
2a. Stalker: automatic ** in Two Weapon, backstab modifier, GWW (IIRC), some spells, decent THACO, good stronghold (Moon Dog figurine), Stealth.
2b. No UAI (chief concern)...that's it.
3a. Swashbuckler: excellent AC and THACO by late game, Stealth, thief skills, UAI, high-level traps, good kit overall.
3b. No backstab (although with the AC and THACO, it isn't too much of a loss).
Things to consider:
1. I'm using Scimitar and Dagger for proficencies, with dual weild, for Belm and the Dagger of the Star...I'm considering Short/Long swords instead.
2. I have the following mods installed: Ascension, Tactics, Baldurdash, Imoen Romance.
3. The game difficulty is Normal (the one under "core").
4. I will NOT use CF.
5. Never.
6. I said no.
