Dwarven beserker they rock!

Well, I don't know.

I feel really comfortable playing barbarians and berserkers, but it's usually my spellcasters who supply all the fun.

Definitely Thief/Mage for me - magic + decent fighting + stealth... whee! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Plus, with ToB, Use Any Item...

I've had a lot of fun with my recent 2 main characters in BG2, a dualed kensai/mage in a party and a fighter/mage/thief solo (although I think the kensai/mage would have gone well solo too).

I love having a bit of fighter mixed in there cause I love melee, but I like multiclassed fighters for the extra abilities you can have fun with. My solo F/M/T is being played as mostly a fighter/thief, but with robe of vecna and amulet of power... let's just say that instantly casting Death Fog is a great way to enter a room.

My current standard action for room clearing: (elven F/M/T, 13/13/15)
Equipment: dual wielding Flail of Ages and Dak'Kons Zerth Blade, robe of vecna, amulet of power, boots of speed/stealth , ring of preservation +2, sorcelean ring (last 3 are item upgrades), helm of balduran
battle prep = stoneskin, spell turning, haste.
Action:
1. hide, open door, run back before being spotted
2. hide again, move into position, cast fireball or other AoE damage spell, run back
3. Hide, run in, backstab most damaged mage (secondary on-hand weapon = Arbane)
4. swap back to FoA and proceed to kill everyone in melee.
5. (optional) for tough rooms, repeat steps 2 and/or 3 OR ...
6. retreat, cast death fog/cloudkill/ADHW, run out door, shut it and wait

with boots of speed and haste spell, you can lure enemies into nice groups before sprinting clear to blast nasty AoE spells (and with the robe and amulet, you don't waste time casting)

I've hardly used any summons at all, probably unusual for a part mage solo character, being really fast and stealthy has been my best tool.

Undead Hunter's are my faourite Paladin. They have immunity from Hold and Level Drain and since you can find only one item that protects from level drain (amulet of Power) and loads of ones that protect against charms and fear it is pretty easier. Not to mention they are good against Undead, wreak havoc with Carsomyr and are good priest spell casters they hae my vote.

karlosovic · 01-25-2003, 11:16 AM

actually I think there are many item which protect against level drain (one of the axes ? + whatever else). but I agree with you that Undead Hunter sounds the best Paladin on paper (and it's the only paladin I've tried)
