Which classes are the most interesting to play? Rate the classes you have played and completed the game with. +++++ the best to + the worst. I'm talking about fun not about destructive capability!

For me....

+++++ Swashbuckler/ Fighter (dueled to Fighter at 11th level)
A great lead charactor who could scout,remove traps ,pick locks and was a killer tank. Always in the middle of things. With 4 attacks per round super low THAC0 and an AC -12 he often soloed entire dungeons.

++++ Sorcerer.Much more combat oriented than a mage. Great for trying out assorted sequencers and spell triggers.

+++1/2 Bard. Half fighter half mage. Great fun running and gunning with wands of summoning and cloudkill. Can also cast spells from scrolls while wearing armor. ( which he often did ) Hardly ever took off his armor to cast his memorised spells.

+++1/2 Archer. I just liked picking off baddies with a bow. Saved the groups collective arse many a time. Steathing and sniping!

+++ Invoker Mage. Enjoyable but didn't get in the action nearly as much as the sorcerer.

++ 1/2 Swashbuckler. OK to play but not much of a fighter. Frequently croaked in combat and caused many a reload. ( maybe I should have given him a bow )
Nahhh forget that. A swashbuckler's gotta have a sword in each hand! Anything else wouldn't be swashbuckling.

++1/2 Monk. Some people think they are the greatest. A fine tank but...yawn.

++ Cleric. Outside of the occasional invisible sneak attack with Firestorm
he wasn't much fun. Creating the skeleton warriors was also very handy. A
great party addition but not much fun. Pretty much a utility charactor.

+++++ Sorcerer, vaporised all enemies without getting a scratch.

++++ Archer, can pick off most enemies with one shot with normal arrows when Grandmaster in longbow, with enchanted arrows he can kill almost anything with one shot.

Not if he has a +3 or +4 bow! And then you will of course wear the bracers of archery.

I really liked the versatility (stealth,pells,tank)of a ranger dualled to cleric at lev 10 or 12 .Cleric and druid spells,full armour if needed but restricted to cleric weapons.
-a fighter with grandmastery in bows(or an archer for that matter)can to MAJOR damage with 18 or 19 strength,a powerful bow ,and arrows of piercing or biting.Good Dexterity helps for a quick reaction also.

Hear, hear!!!
I'll second to that. Ranger cleric is a very very good combo, although I like singleclass clerics as well.

***** Sorcerer if you can handle him he;s great
***** Fighter/Assassin Not a legal class but a very powerful one
**** Ranger/Cleric But you have to give good weapons
**** Fighter/Mage well he was very very good
*** Blade could be better think i never gave him the right weapons or something
* Swashbuckler/Mage the most awfull class i ever played he can be good i think but not for me
*** Necromancer not a very good class but it does bring back memories
**** Ranger Not as powerful with bow as BG1 but still a worthy fighter
**** Inquisitor was a very usefull class
*** Undead Hunter usefull aswell but not as good as Inquisitor
**** Stalker I played with Valygar who became the best fighter of my party
** Skald couldn't play with it
*** Assassin You really miss the Fighter part in a regulair Assassin

+++++ Archer,great char IMO,when i finished the game with him he had almost tied with the most kills (second to minsc).


+++ 1/2 Jester Bard,amazing i give him *such* a high rating huh? But hes fun to play, a CN neutral jester can be quite intresting...


+++ Blade Bard,Ok class,but not that much fun.

++++ Barbarian,Dwarf, 3 words....LOTS 'O HP!! (would 'hp' be considered a word?)

Those are the only ones i palyed with.

In my opinion I think the most fun character to play with is the theif kit because you can set traps, steal the, backstab multiplier is great for the asassin its just a fun class and again thats only in my opinion. You also have the ability to poison weapons.
