As for weapons, max out (grand master - make sure your game has the grandmaster fix!) one type of weapon, and select either 2H weapon (with 2H swords) or dual weapon use (most anything else).

I like 2H swords - they are pretty powerful, and are capable of whacking a lot of critters in one swipe, plus Lilarcor is available fairly early in the game.

Another good choice is Katana, despite the warnings at the beginning of the game. Two very powerful katanas are available for use.

Do consider the quarterstaff - staff of magi is very useful for a mage, and deadly with a kensai's THAC0 and Kai ability.
