A good thing I cant see any stars then.

Try something completely opposite from what you've played before... try a fallen-paladin for some real RPing.

hehe...Perfect char ye say?
Well...'Tis not an easy question! and everyone will have a different response 'cause it depends on the style you most like to play.
But the char I had the biggest fun playin' with (and which I liked the most) was my totally crazy Chaotic Neutral Elven thief/mage...

Very, very, very much agree. I went through the game the first time with a Cavalier (named "Bubbles"). The second time I tried an Archer (named "Clover")
and was annoyed at how little the game changed.

Playing a Neutral Evil Sorceror, though, chagned things quite a bit. And playing a Neutral Evil Jester is a blast!

Bubbles? ROTFL!
Not the kind of name I usually associate with righteous paladins!

How about trying a solo Druid on Insane difficulty? I finished the game with this a short while ago... and it WAS a challenge, and quite enjoyable.

or, how about this...human cleric dualed to a mage at level 9 or 13? I wonder who would win in a battle between that and a sorceror. The clerics have some pretty decent support spells. Plus, you can cast summon undead at level 3 instead of 5. With all the undead in the game, it's not a bad idea to have a mage as a supporting cleric...

at least, that's what I think today. Tomorrow, you'll probably hear me singing songs about another great combo...

...how about the least-admired kit, just for ha-ha's? I hear that Beastmaster is pretty unpopular - maybe Totemic Druid too?

On the other side of the coin, I read one player's post making a big case for Berserker/Cleric being the "best" class. I forget when he dualled; 10th??

[Wizard Slayer/Mage really does sound wacky - might not be possible anymore with all the fixes, though - a mage that can't use magic items? ]

>JEROME: Solo druid on Insane?! U R Studly indeed - I can't BELIEVE all these Soloists - OK that's it; I'm definitely going to try soloing now - just need a PERFECT CHARACTER first...
