1. The debate of Anomen vs. Viccy has left out one important thing: Her Magic Resistance.

2. I must admit that I haven't played with Anomen in my party, but like BaRoN NiGhT I'm also partial to more pure-classed characters. I think a balanced party of pure-classed characters would kick the snot out of any party with equivalent experience that has multi- and/or dual-classed characters (and that doesn't include Vicy's other talents). (Although, relative to Viccy and Anomen, I admit this point is weakened by Dundee's argument).

3. The usefulness of Holy Smite has less to do with whether you have a good or neutral Anomen or Evil Viccy in your party. They both can cast it (although Viccy might also get hit by it -- see Point 1 above, though). The crux is whether or not the rest of the party will feel the damage, and that has everything to do with the party's alignment, not Anomen or Viccy. Note: I forget exactly how Holy Word works and if Viccy would be able to cast it, so I left it out of this point.
