Hey,

Been a long time.

Funnily enough I'm just playing through a game as a solo Fighter/Assassin - just to see what it was like.

I'm about to enter Suldanessellar as (IIRC) level 33/38 - the challenge has pretty much gone, but I'll struggle through that [img]smile.gif[/img]

In setting it up I created a new F/T - took 10pts per level off theiving skills, then using SK removed the Thief abilities to whatever level he was at, then added for the Assassin kit. I then just changed the kit to Assassin.

First comment is that the extra attacks (from high level fighter and weapon specialisation) really make this guy rock. He's dual-wielding Celestial Fury (the +5 version) and Usuno's Blade with 7/2 attacks. Actually makes Assassination worth having.

I'll also note that it's far too easy to get far too many HLAs (assuming TOB - if not then I suppose the challenge might remain slightly longer).

There are certain items that will be invaluable - especially if you've got the Item Upgrade mod installed - a certain suit of armour from a dreadlocked friend could be the best thing you ever get!
