I'm assuming you're NOT a PnP player, playing CRPGs for the heck of it. I'm also assuming you haven't spent $300/$400 on all the books like I have. B)

Okay, it's your first time. You want a tough character that's fun to play. This is what I'd play:

Ranger/Thief. Halfling. Use throwing axes (but start with darts or a sling until you're level 6 or 7). Short sword. (main) Sickle/Dagger.(off).

Take WEAPON FINESSE FEAT (+3 or +4 to hit right off the bat 'cause of high dex). Humans as FIRST RACIAL ENEMY.

Throwing axes are HEAVY. SPLIT them into groups of 10 and put them in a bag of holding (60% reduction or better) so the weight doesn't kill you.

You Lvl 4 & Lvl 8 attribute points are for STR & DEX. Level 12 is for WIS. Then whatever you choose for LVL 16.

Stay with studded leather or leather armours, depending on what's the best available.

START LEVEL 1 as a THEIF!!! VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW RANGER REQUIREMENTS SO YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE ATTRIBUTES. You should be 12, 18, 12, 12, 12, 10.

Because you're multi-classing, you won't get level 4 spells and therefore, don't need a 14 wisdom.
