Go with a wizard or a sorcerer. If you want a real challenge, that would be it. Your best weapon specialties would be the quarterstaff and the dagger. (There are really powerful examples of both within the Undermountain itself. Save your money, as one of the daggers is very expensive, yet available in a regular shop. In fact, I believe two out of the five best daggers can be purchased.) Pure wizards ARE very difficult to use in the Undermountain, and I have yet to construct one myself. They tend to work best when paired with another character of any other class - pure class or multiclass.

Rogues and rogue blends are one of the most popular setups in the high-magic setting of Escape From Undermountain, right up there with pure monks. For those looking for the "cheap way out" when it comes to magic, Use Magical Device is their best friend along with all those dodge bonuses the properly outfitted rogue will possess. You'd be surprised how many "Robin Hood" types there are roaming around in the Undermountain. Rogue/Fighter, Rogue/Weaponmaster, and Rogue/Cleric blends have all been frightfully successful within the module.

No matter the battle, a lesson must be won. In the end, the path shall fade into nothingness for the one walking it, but may go on for eternity for those whom choose to follow. One must know their own footsteps before taking that first step, or instead of choosing your battles, your battles will choose you.
