Also start with a single class character (cleric or fighter is best because you automatically get a thief and a mage is a weakling where you need it least). Not only do you get to practice with the interface with margin for error (8hp if you have a cleric, 10 if you have a fighter, not counting bonus hps for a good Constitution score) but you also get a magic wand with your first NPC to aid you in the first major battle.
