Deekins best ability is his Bard song, One stop shopping for buffing up the team. He backs this up with an assortment of spells that more often than not left our enemies stunned, dazed or asleep.
Because his strength is low due to a bad back [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] He sucks in melee, but is pretty good with the crossbow.
I have read where people have him multi into a rogue for a level in order to give him some sneak attack *ummph* in combat. This is my plan as I play the game a second time.
I say go with Deekin regardless, he is sheer humor and personality. When I finished the game, I was sad not because the game was over, but because my journeys with Deekin were.
