It grades every class and NPC and gives the pros and cons of each.

I finished the game with a monk and it's too powerful at high levels. It can kill anything with quivering palm in one hit. Plus you're beter off not using weapons because you lose attacks per round so you lose the fun of finding new weapons for him.

Sorceress is also powerful at high levels. I removed the exp cap and at Level 18 she could cast 3 time stops a day! I gave her project image and she had 5 a day. What I would do is project image and that image would have all the spells including 3 time stop. The image then could sumon unlimited numbers of creatures not just five. You could do this 5 tmes a day = 15 level nine spells a day. And when you were done your original Sorceress still had all her spells except the level 7 spells.

My best guy however is a Level 9 wisard slayer dueled to thief then shadow keepered back to pure fighter thief. You must duel fighters at odd numbers because that's when they get proficies. Thieves gain levels quickly so you get the class back soon. After you become level 10 thief use shadow keeper to change back the fighter class. Then you can use any magic items and you keep the cumlative casting failure. Plus you get two strong holds and can make a lot of money.
