When I fight beholders, I normally use the shield of balduran, which isn't possible now. It is very hard to beat them without any reloads. *sigh* This is where my party fall. Maybe I should throw in a ranger/cleric (dualled), but then I will have to get rid of someone, cause I don't want more than 4 party-members.
The bounty hunter is quite weak when fighting groups like the slavers. He would then die from arrows, but that is easily fixed with the spell protection from normal missiles. But I think there would be too much effort of protecting him all the time only because I like his traps. I think I need to replace him. The mage/cleric is also quite unecessary if I already have a healer in my party, so I have to replace her too.
What about this party:
Human Swashbuckler/mage - need some thief skills, especially find illussions (dual at level 10)
Human Kensai/thief - the same reason as above (dual at level 9)
Human Fighter/mage (no kit)- Grandmaster in short bow. (dual immediately)
Human Ranger/cleric (no kit)- I know this one has good ac and thaco etc, which makes me use it mostly as a fighter, but I will try to cast more spells, because it has so many spells. This one will use the shield of balduran. (dual immediately).
Hmmm, only humans, I always end up with only humans.
