Firstly my condolences and my sympathies to all the US members of this forum for what has happened in the US this past week.
Secondly,my question.
Compared to BG and Icewind Dale, SoA has a vast number of options available to the starting player. Fighter of Thief? Sourcerer or Kensai? Everyone has their own favourite class as many polls have previously disscussed. HOWEVER who don't you ever see? Out of interest which characters would you never use? I for one would never touch a Wizard Slayer with a 10ft pole (What no potions!!!!) So who don't you do?

I don't do ANY of the Fighter kits - just use plain Fighter
I don't do any Mage kits, just use plain Mage
Don't use Cleric's Priest of Talos kit
Don't use Paladin kits
Don't use Ranger kits
Never play Barbarian
Don't play Druid kits
Only played Monk once


Thief and Bard kits are all good
Sorcerer is good, too.

honestly, I'm willing to try any class and most kits.

The barbarian is the one that appeals to me the least, as far as class goes...

You can use potions as a wizard slayer (health potions only though) if you install Throne of bhaal.
I think the wizard slayer is great especially in the later levels.

I think that if you don't intend to dual class then NOT using a kit is, for the most part, a bit foolish - most kits offer you some advantage over the 'True class'...

I never used Wizard Slayer because he couldn't use health potions (those are the only potions my charactors ever use - I always sell the rest). Not being able to access a health potion during a battle makes it SERIOUSLY hard. On the other hand, that does offset the magic resistence your charactor gets... But the disadvantage was too big for me.

Eh????

I tried Wizard Slayer before, and they can definitely use Health Potions.

I got bored of hack and slash though... ...

If not a Sorcerer casting total oblivion, then a Paladin meting out justice. Otherwise, I think I will just be a bard and torture my enemies with, "My Heart Will Go On".
