I'm playing a human ranger. I started out trying to dual wield, but wasn't doing that well. Then I read in the manual how dual wielding gives big penalties to hit. I switched to a great sword, which I was strong in from recommended skill selections, and have been kicking butt ever since. I use the cleric henchwoman. We can't disarm traps or pick locks, so we just bash everything. For traps, I usually just trigger them. For the big scorcher chests, I haul out my bow and shoot them with magic arrows (from a safe distance).

Currently, I'm level 11 and still in chapter 2. I just picked up a greater swordsmans belt, and nothing does any damage to me anymore. I can fight in the middle of three trolls and be unscathed. The ring with regeneration (Lesser Ring of Power) helps a lot too.
