I suggest Assassin -> Mage. What I'm currently doing [img]smile.gif[/img] Poison Weapon is insane on none-Mage enemies. After I pump three or so, they start stuttering. It gets even better if they don't make their saves. As soon as I get my Mage abilities, I'm going to go with MMM and EB in combination with IH and PW. It's gonna be murder. [img]tongue.gif[/img] (Why? 9/10 ApR will poison-lock any non-completely immune enemies if I hit most of the time, which I will, even if they make their saves. And Mages only last as long as their PfMW lasts).

Don't attempt melee combat unless you have a pretty high strength. I have 16 Strength, and even with a Buckler/Katana, it's pretty damn hard to hit fighters. Not to mention that the 1 ApR really bites. A Short Bow + 1 (get one ASAP from the Adventurer's Mart) will serve you well until you get the Tuigan Bow (pretty soon, in my reckoning).

On a side note, would it be something to consider if someone changed the PfMW spell to only affect melee weapons, and add in a Protection from Magical Missiles spell? PfMW as it is protects from everyone and their brother in ToB, I think, is slightly overpowered.
