    Mage of cleric? Is that like the chit in the Star Trek series, three of nine or whatever? :p

    Anyway, go mage. You can use all those nifty wands in bad situations.

    If you totally hate combat, go for mage. If you do like fighting, but would like some additional spell power, take the cleric. The druid is not very good in combat, but still better than mages, his spells are more defensive than the mage's.

    [​IMG] If you can't decide then why not do both and play a gnomish illusionist/cleric that way you get the best of both worlds. A mage who can slip into armour and do some righteous bashing when you've run out of fireballs.

    How about being a thief that isn't proficient with the bow. Only with daggers and short swords? So there is also a liability for broken weapons.

    [​IMG] Sniper: I've read your post multiple times and still fail to see any relevance to the question that Iowynn asked. Could you please explain?
