Unlike BG... no penalties for using a bow in close range. You can do it and it is effective. Some abilities are multi arrow and strafe that basically take the aim out and just shoot at whatever is around. Kick butt!! (The main reason I love the Amazon is for those little monsters that leap, run and generally don't stay put... much easier with a bow or Javelin to take them out.)
Chap 2 with Sorceress... try the cold spells and let your merc take him out. Cold is the most useful with Sorc, because they aren't attacking if they are frozen.
I am doing your thing now with taking all my characters a little at a time through the game. I get bored with one and play another. 
The assassin is cool... my new fav. I love throwing daggers with her - and claws... man, some of those martial arts ROCK!
When you get to the Secret Cow Level... try to keep a straight face. It is the only way to beat those moo moos. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Thanks for the info, I will keep that in mind with my Amazon. She is next and last to move up through Chapter 2, and I so far have upped her spear skills, cause I just like forkin people LOL, but if the bow works better, I can switch her over LOL
Oh, and the thing that sucks with my current Sorceress, is that I mostly have gone for the "up mostly ONE area big time" theory. So my sorceress has a huge lightning ability, which clears out everything in her path mostly, is great!, is wonderful, err, except for that nasty beatleboss, lightning doesn't seem to move his hitpoint bar down much at all. And so, hence, she is very unskilled in cold defense, might have a Level One in Icebolt maybe, but that's about it. Imagine how much work and effort it would take to keep levelling her up to get to a decent cold spell level? Normally, if I was just playing with one character, I'd just replay areas again and again, to level her up, but doing it the way I'm doing it, i.e., playing each character (what is there? six or seven of them in Expansion Pack) through each chapter one by one, I've kinda been there done that a humongous amount of times, ack.
Oh and in all my games everyone of course has Wirt's Leg, so cow level will be inevitable soon LOL, am so curious to see what it is all about, some say it is funny, some say it is so hard and they hated it, hope I'm one of the former once I get there LOL ! [img]smile.gif[/img]
