Short F/T or Berserker > Thief... which is more powerful?

Klorox · 12-06-2006, 05:29 PM

I'm trying to create the more powerful of these two characters.

Is is a short (Dwarf, Gnome, or Halfling) multiclassed Fighter/Thief, or a Human Berserker 13 > Thief?

I picked the short race because I love the saving throw bonuses, but the Human gets a lot of immunities while Raging, as well as grandmastery (although I am NOT using any GM patches).

I am planning this character for a 2 person party (the other character is a Sorcerer), and have ToB installed (so I plan on racing through the levels quickly).

TIA

If you do decide to dual, you should probably take the berserker farther since you will be able to level up quickly.

How far would you recommend?

I don't want to do too many quests without a Thief, and the "downtime" of being a Thief without Rage really scares me a lot.

Maybe I should just multiclass then. It's cleaner and simpler.

But you can't multi a Berserker/Thief.

Personally, I would go with Dualing with a berserker, and not a fighter.
