Very well, I shall not bear grudge.
The thing about me seeing fighters as tanks is true... mostly. But my biggest remark for the combo is the loss of rogue skill points. If you want to use a rogue in IWD2, he must be VERY proficient to use him effectively. A ranger/rogue gives a bit higher amount of skill points than the fighter/rogue, and needs less levels of ranger for effectiveness. The ranger's armor penalty is negated because of rogue's higher penalty and you can freely use dual weapons. Advanced search is very cool, and free. Couldn't find a use for wilderness lore, but I know it must do something.
