cavaliers, monks, sorcerers, and f/m/t's are all good. not that cavaliers cannot USE ranged weapons. Berserkers cannot specialize, but kensai and cavaliers cannot USE ranged weapons. Note that monks are good, but archers have the ability to be MUCH, MUCH better. even with a normal longbow and normal arrows, an elven 19-dex archer has a thac0 of about 0 at the START of the game. sorcerers are very good, but your spell selection is very limited, so you have to choose well and rely on scrolls when necessary. f/m/t's are the most versatile characters in the game, but don't reach very high levels. However, that isn't really a problem, since you are a good fighter, can cast many spells, and can even backstab and Use Any Item (carsomyr, staff of woodlands, anyone?)
