I rolled up a Blade, finding his abilities a bit intriguing. At level 9 or so I can get a 9 ac bonus three times, a day and a +2 hit/+2 dam +1 additional attack, three times a day. Plus I can pickpocket items from most merchants, and have gotten two +2 shields.
I also rolled up a Kai, after hearing how Kai-mages ruled. The Kai has 18/00 str, 18 dex, 18 const, 17 intelligence, and even enough left over to have 9 charisma. I put three points in katanas, two points in axes (hoping for magic throwing axes, not sure if he can use) and one in 1-handed style. Now I see that there are a lot of mages in the game and I'm not sure if the Kai-mage (despite an attributes amazing roll) is the way to go.
What do you suggest? The answer seems to depend on whether it's easy to find elven chain; and how far a kai-mage can advance if he leveled to 8 as a kai. I find having a bard is nice just to not waste time or money on identifying items. Also, if I keep the kai, should I edit his skills so he's a master at long or bastard swords?
