    [​IMG] What is your acceptable stats for a Fighter/Mage, and what is the best roll you ever made for one? Race is sort of irrelevant, but I guess an Elven Fighter/Mage would be what I had in mind. At least that´s what I always go with.

    STR 18/xx (preferably 91-100 for bonuses early)
    DEX 17-19 (preferably 18 for bonuses early, 19 only if you plan on heading into BG2 and really want the single point of AC from a DEX of 21 as compared to 18)
    CON 17
    INT 18
    WIS 3 (possibly higher if you plan on doing BG2)
    CHA 15-18 (possibly lower if you plan on doing BG2, and/or will take at least one high-CHA party member in BG1)

    Good is 18/.. str and maxed out dex, con, int and cha and bumped wis which is obtainable with enough patience at rolling. My best roll was a total of 99 for a gnome fighter/illusionist IIRC.
    A gnome F/I is far superior to an elf F/M btw.

    I wholeheartedly agree. And it's hard to find a lot of people who share this point of view.

    Everyone that does not sit down and crunch the actual numbers simply loves elves, that is why Klorox ;)

    Or those who simply prefer Necro spells, but that's still aesthetics over numbers.

    Not true, Raptor. I think Elves are so overrated it's not even funny. I remember everybody in my tabletop gaming groups wanting to play elves, and I'm still not getting the appeal.

    Well, with other stats being important, you need a dump somewhere. In BG1, WIS doesn't matter except for lore and priests. CHA could also be lowered if you have a high-CHA party member, as I said, but if you're going solo...well, I suppose there you don't really need it much either, since you'll be swimming in gold. *shrug*

    Klorox, if you reread my post I actually agree with you :p

    The people that likes elves doesn't like them becose they are better, but becose they are elves. Better is irrelevant. It's just the stereotypical teenage boys dream character, elf fighter/mage.
