    Wondering if anyone has done this, or if anyone has any advice for me on the following:

    I want to "basically" 'solo', but I want to have a romance come along. So what I'm saying is I want to go through the game, (SoA&ToB), with a pair of characters, Myself & I'm not sure who yet, (one of the elves).

    I'm not sure what to pick as a class formyself, or which girl to go with, but really I'm looking for a class that will solo well with the help of each of the 3 girls, because I wanna go through the game all 3 times with each of them.

    Just pick a F/M/T or something, and just have your [snip] tag along for healing and buffs etc. Thats what I'd do :D .

    All romances are clerics, so that's out.
    Jahiera can whomp ass and Aerie can cast mage spells.
    So...

    Jahiera --> Sorcerer
    Aerie --> Warrior
    Viconia --> Fighter/Mage

    That's what I'd use anyhow.

    I think that a Paladin/Aerie matchup makes sense in terms of gameplay and roleplay. Haven't tried it, but it should be manageable. What do the rest of you think?

    I'd go something like:

    Aerie/Paladin

    Viconia/Assassin

    Jaheira/Bard

    This is more role playing than anything else, as there are obviously major gaps (such as scant arcane spellcasting except for Aerie and the Bard and almost no thieving skills except for the assassin and the limited abilities of the bard), but my assumption is that you weren't interested in a straight power-solo as you said no to the F/M/T.

    Yea, all your ideas are great so far, (except the bard, I HATE BARDS!!!RAWR
    :mad: :mad: :mad: !!!!! DIE DIE DIE BARDS!!!)

    and I did just notice they all had healing, but Jaheira being a druid I don't expect any healing from her. SHe's a disabler, thus I think being a cleric would work. I can heal and fight just as well as she can fight and disable. Sounds like a good match to me :)

    To get the most out of it I´d go with Aerie as my companion. Both healing and wizard spells, alittle more useful than just a cleric/druid.
    And I´d play a Paladin aswell.
    Or maybe a Berserker.

    well I'm starting off with Jaheira first, and I actually went as a Kensai/Mage, dunno why, but I did.
