In TOB you will need both melee & magic. The thing is that when you need magic YOU REALLY NEED MAGIC, but most of the time you need melee a lot more (and stoneskin & mirror image help out a lot here).

BTW, grab the robe of Vecna for your char. (unless you have Airhead in your party then give it to her). If Airhead has it then make sure you take the mage stronghold and make yourself an apprenti robe (which gives a better armor class but doesn't speed up your spell casting).

Dual wield celestial fury & sword of zerth (with grandmaster in katana & mastery in dual-wielding).

For those intrested in going on to TOB
a multiclass fighter/thief or
Kensai dualed to thief

is a better than a Kensai/mage because once your at about 3.3 milion exp. points you get high level abilities and can choose Use Any Item ability which allows you to

Use Mage/Cleric scrolls (so stock up now on those scrolls & on cash if you help out a certain person in TOB).

Interesting bug for increasing your cash supply "Sell high, buy low!!!"

In the fish city sell high priced items to the "merchant" and then buy them back, repeat, repeat, repeat.
