Any thoughts....

[Staralfur]

I was planning to start a multiplayer game a while ago, so I could choose all six characters, but I never really got around to it. With ToB going gold I thought it was about time I started one. This is the party I'm thinking of going with;

Jester - main character

Assasin dualled to Cleric - I can get to Lv 11 as a thief, and Lv20 as a Cleric.

Kensai dualled to specialist mage - L9 Kensai etc... Can you dual to a specialist mage?

Berserker dualled to Sorceror - Can you do this as well?

Fighter/Paladin - Maybe an Undead Hunter, any ideas.

Ranger - Not sure about this either, more ideas please.

The idea is basically to try and use some classes/kits I've never used before while still having a powerful party. Comments welcome....

I do not believe you can dual to a kit(sprcerer etc.)

thats right...u cant dual or multi in subclasses!

[Cavern Sniffer]

You haven't left any room for NPC's so Quest XP will be thin on the ground and romances impossible. I'd suggest using a party of four, keeping Jaheira until her quest (a long one, so is her romance if you want it) is over. And use the remaining slot to pick up and dump other NPC's to gain their quests and XP. Don't forget that you only get one stronghold too so make sure you're happy with your main PC and the stronghold that he/she's likely to acquire.

It's bleedin dark down here, slippery too.
Man, that's a pisser.

I think you have enough tanks.... id drop one and go with a true cleric. and keep the assassin and assassin until he hits high levels and then maybe think about dual-classing him. An assassin that heals??? doesnt make much sense to me but go for it if you want to.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Earthdog, get your but at MSN!!! As for your topic: it's true that you can't dual or multu class sub-classes (like your berserker/sorcerer). Indeed you've got a lot of tanks, that's true.. Consider taking a mage or something.

------------------
In the foul darkness one figure will emerge to save the world from evil and despair.... Light flashes as his sword comes down, and thunder rolls through the sky when he points his sword up to heaven to signal his victory....People whisper his name as he walks by, evil tries to hide as they sense his presence nearby.... His name? Link......

can u dual class or multi a sorcerer im not sure

[Staralfur]

Basically I would end up with a maxed out sorcerer and mage. They would start out as fighters just to give them some other abilities, making them a bit more usefull. I'm also considering going with a Cleric/Ranger multi class instead of a pure Ranger.

The jester, thats fine
Undead hunter paladin rocks, thats good
you can do a beserker mage, but not a beserker sorcerer I think. A nice melee fighter, I would suggest a Kensai mage also, both are nice.
Assassin/cleric wouldn't work. You can't poison a mace or warhammer I belive, only thief weapons. So you'd be wasting your assassin's poisoning skill. Try a beserker dual classed to a cleric. A great melee cleric backed up with spells, very nice. I used this.
You definetly want a thief in there somewhere for the chests/pickpockets. Not sure how you want to do him.

I also suggest only using 4 or 5 characters and leaving 1 or 2 spots open for the NPC characters, you'll gain their quests also, get more experience, and a few items you can't normally get. Always a good idea.

SO 4 would be

Jester
Paladin, undead hunter
Kensai or beserker mage ( you can't dual class to a sorcerer I think)
and some others. sounds ok.

remember that dualing from an assasin to a cleric seriously limits your weapon choices.
