Hi again - thanks for the useful info in your replies. I don't mind the trouble of building up the bishop, may be tough to get up there but once he is he'll be very powerful and have a broad base of spells. I'll also try to keep my Samurai well balanced to be a decent mage-backup. For the Dwarf I will not bother with dual, but I'll raise his sword some as well as axe - am going to start off with axe/shield as his combo and see how he does.

I'm pretty much thiking I'll use alot of incapacitate-type spells from the bishop and have enough melee/ranged weapon firepower to then mop up with the other characters.

I know you can get up to two RPCs - have heard about the thief one, will probably pass on him as I want to develop my bard in the pickpocket/lock opening skills; but the Valkryie I will gladly take, and also saw somewhere there is a robot Monk? [img]smile.gif[/img]

One other question, was looking at the formation feature - for my original 6 characters, I am thinking of putting no one in the front, the Samurai in the middle, flanking the 2 fighters, and then having the ranger/bishop/bard in the rear rank (guess it will change when I add RPCs of course) - how does that sound? Will probably get to creating these guys tonight and then immersing myself tomorrow in the game. Thanks again,

Gimli
