Wich is the best race,class and why?

Volguuz RageWaar · 05-03-2002, 10:14 AM

I'd really like to know wich one of them is best, not just as powerfull as it might be but as well as the most funiest to play with...

imo, the most powerful is also the most fun: the sorcerer. it gives you a prodigious amount of magic to throw around, and you can really personalise your character depending on the way you want to play: a spellslinging killing machine like irenicus himself? a master summoner who would put edwin to shame any time? a walking fortress, protected with so many different spells to be practically invincible?
decisions, decisions, decisions... far more interesting choices than you have with other classes.
ranger/cleric is a combination with abundant different choices as well, but imo the fact that you are pretty damn good at melee takes some of the gameplay away... you usually end up casting iron skins and beating everything into a bloody pulp, perhaps throwing the odd insect plage at enemy wizards but that´s about it.

but then, try things out, imagine what you would like to do... personally i´m in favour of spellslinging because it´s more involving than most other styles of playing.

So i guess that i'm on the right way (sorcerer)

The best class and race IMO is the Cavalier. Then, ofcourse, the best class will be Human, because Cavaliers can only be human.
But the Cavalier is great because of his very good resistances, immunities, bonuses etc. He is also an entertaing class.
Going through BG2 with him is cool. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Kensai is good, but shouldn't be used as a tank.

Jim · 05-03-2002, 02:39 PM

There are loads of classes I like...Sorcerer, Cavalier, Kensai, Archer, Barbarian so I don't have any one particular favourite, but I know what my favourite race is...........DWARVES!!!

These little guys rock! For the sake of sacrificing one point of AC and a little charisma, you get a bonus CON score and therefore more HP, infravision and above all, +5 to saves vs death, +5 to saves vs wands and +5 to saves vs spells. Priceless!

He's right, theres nothing better the playing a fighter/mage, but its half-elven of course, and female. Then its very fun to solo with

. Plus you get the benefit of having a familiar and getting a fighter stronghold!
