    I agree with Aldeth.
    The Hordebreaker looks like an improved Barbarian. Bonus strength, better weapon skills, bonus THAC0.

    The Peerless Archer with (eventually) a basic +14 bonus to damage seems a bit over the top. Not to mention the THAC0 bonus...

    Also some "disadvantages" should be listed as prerequisites instead. These include stats and race.

    Yes, the author is aware of the 'disadvantages' problem. In fact, some of those are advantages since they don't take from the points that can be allocated.

    I tried the Peerless Archer and noticed the following problems:
    - Possible to get Grand Mastery (five proficiency slots) in Quarterstaff.
    - The THAC0 bonus for levels (1, 4, 7 etc) do not show up. I don't know about the damage bonus for levels, but I don't think they showed up either.

    Thanks for the bug report! They will be fixed to the next version.

    In fact, I thought that in Baldur's Gate 2 archers were useless. They did some 6-8 damage, and mages could do a lot more than them, so I thought they could be very useful.

    The ranger can have 3 stars in dual-wield.

    Ah yes, forgot about the third star for dual-wielding. Four pips and beyond for dual-wield and three stars and beyond for the other weapon styles add no bonuses.

    Don't you mean compatible with mods that don't add too many warrior kits? The max that can be added to the game (seemlessly) is 6 per class, after all.

    It should be compatible with all mods out there. Even those that add more than 6 kits, since my good friend igi wrote a nice proggy that 'lifts' the new kits to the first positions (after the old ones). ;)

    Whoa! This kitpack seems really good.

    How about a rogue who has specialized robbing mages and thus gained a little spell casting ability? ...Duh! I forgot bards. They're pretty much what I just described.

    A fighter with emphasis on defense. Defensive maneuvers and shield block to increase AC even more at a cost of weapon proficiensies.
