Best class to take advantage of PC special abilities?

    As Bhaalspawn you get special powers, which class tends to benefit most from them?

    Any candidates of yours?

    I'd think this could be Blade; he gets less spell slots and draw upon holy might really should help him to buff up STR and CON to be on par with regular fighters early on.

    I'd say fighter/thief. They can't cast the healing spells you get as special abilities, the strength boost from DUHM is even more important if you can't cast spells, the con boost grants more HP for warriors and the dex boost improves the thieving skills.

    STR boost is useful almost exclusively for H2H fights. So the heavier you rely on it, the more you benefit. Also, fighters with low 18/xx and non-fighters get the greatest boost in THAC0 and DMG.
    It lets you carry more, but I don't know whether it's really useful.
    DEX boost:
    -For H2H characters improves AC a bit
    -Gives a very tiny improvement to archery
    -Improves thieving skills a bit
    CON boost:
    -Improves HP, but only if you're a warrior or part warrior.
    -May slightly improve saving throws of gnomes, halfings, dwarves, depending on your initial CON value.

    Do I miss somethig?

    So I'd agree that F/T gains the most from it, especially that first-hit damage is oh so important for them.
