well, analander has a great site with gadgeteer recipes on it.
check it out, and scroll down about 3/4 of the way down. he has the ones that can be merged, what parts go into them, and where you can find them.
his site is great!
and i don't think there is one attribute that is good for all classes. but then, you're not making a party with ALL classes are ya? LOL!
this is prolly the last wizardry ever. no more games, and certainly no expansions. for mods to be made, they would have to release some code to us, and i don't think that will happen either. but then i don't know tons about that. only stuff i have done is for Thief, Vampire and HalfLife. all those had SDKs. and i have heard nothing about a SDK for wizardry.
sorry.
