I'm still in chapter one exploring the town. So far I have cleared out the docks and part of the peninsula. My PC is a fighter with one level ranger and one level mage (for the free dual wields/ambi and ability to use wands respectively). There have been a couple of tough fights that I had to reload but usually the second time around I come out ok. My biggest problem has been traps. The two worst being the one in the Androd estate and the one on the second floor of the Traders. Is there a way for a fighter to get in those chests without getting killed? Even at full health (42HP) they kill me every time.
Before you answer, "Hire the rogue", I am also interested in how other players use the henchmen. I'm trying to get through as much as I can without having to hire them until absolutely necessary. Is this a pipe dream? How do you solo fighters, mages, or clerics get through the traps? The ones in the sewers weren't bad as they do damage but don't kill, but the two above have proven to be impossible for me so far.
