a Half-evlin Thief? please tell me he's a pick pocket! (half elves have good pick pockets) Otherwise, why a half elf? Half Elves are cool for one reason: Class choices. Check it out, half elves get the classes from both human and Elf and are the ONLY race that can be a Fighter/Mage/Cleric.
As for you who choose straight classes; i can understand your wanting to level up more quickly. but what happens when your thief maxes out at level 30 when he reaches 4.4 mil? Better to dual class or multiclass to eat up all that EXP, in my opinion. Of course, you could take the EXP cap off, but does that rais levels beyon 30? (probably not, probably just lets you level that multiclass character to 30/30, eh?)
I tried to play Fury Mode with a brand new party; boy is that a pain!
the party looks like this
Human Druid (to dual class into fighter at level 18, then attain lvl 30 as ftr)
Human Fighter(to dual class at 10 to Mage to attain lvl 30; Tenser's Trans!)
Dwarven Fighter Cleric (the tank)
Elvin Fighter/Mage/Thief (for early magic and necessary thieving abilities)
This party gets pretty powerful in the end, with everyone specialized in thir magic weapon of choice (scimitar for druid, longsword and bow for mage, everything clerical for the dwarf, and daggers and bows for the elf).
The problem was, they never made it past the first big room in the Orc cave.
Even with druidic Entangle, clerical Hold Person and magely Color Spray i couldn't seem to hold off the wave of fighters, archers and shamans long enough to mash their over-inflated ugliness down.
Fury Mode is definately for the high level party (or low level party with magic items)
