I have started over a few times and have refined my choices (although I am going to play again possibly soooo many choices). I was pleased to discover that my barbarian could evolve into something else, but my ultimate discovery was when my priest turned paladin accidently joined the warriors guild after belonging to the priest's guild. You can eventually make your way into all the guilds and it means all your character's can be collecting points for a "warrior's quest, magic user's quest, etc". *she rubs her hands together greedily* I created eight characters to use (I try to have it all) it is difficult because I have to remember who has what quest and items and experience points are more spread out. (more kids to feed) I choose a few humans (suited to just about any role and average carriers. Those oomphaz make great wizards - warlocks and boy can they carry but I opted out. My one problem was the pixie, gnome, ratling combo could not carry as much. Weight does slow you down when fighting. I love the Whiskah trait of seeing in the dark. Snargol, my barbarian Gourk, is always 'smelling' danger (just how does one smell a lake pirahhna coming closer). Ratlings are quick and lucky. You might check out RPGVET's thread on levelling up as there was some talk on generating points in there, I think. Look forward to your cries of help . . . just kidding!
