fighter-thief: I agree whole heartedly with your "chain" analogy. In order to make it through a game (without some serious hacking/cheating) you need a well balanced party. Seems to me from reading other posts that I inadvertantly usually assemble the most common type of party - 2.5 - 3.0 fighters/tanks, 1.0 -1.5 clerics, 0.5 - 1.0 thieves and 1.0 - 2.0 magi.
My character being something of a reflection of myself is also somewhat true. If there's a nasty fight brewing, it goes against my nature to hang back. My first inclination is to get in there and start whacking away at someone... Very poor judgement for someone possessing an AC of 7 and only 14 or 16 HPs.
Anyhow, I have not given up on magery altogether. For me, I think at a later date I will dual a fighter. Might survive the prologue with sufficient HPs .
