    I haven't got my game with me right now to check stats but heres my favourite character roughly -

    Zar (Moon Elf) Sorcerer.
    High Cha
    Pretty High Dex
    Quite High Con
    Average Str, Wis.

    At some point i will give him a level in ranger so he can dual wield two long swords (or a long sword and a dagger). Currently he's my main archer, using an everlasting arrow rather than keep buying normal arrows. He's also got the 3rd highest kills in my party. About 150 (my tanks have just over 300 a piece i belive). I just love sorcerer's lots of spells thing and just running up to those enemies who are trying to run away and blasting some flame arrows or missiles (force or magic) into them at point blank range.

    When my tanks were holding back a big force in the Ice Temple and my rogue and illusionist were injured, and running to my cleric, Zar stood his ground as two dire/winter wolves broke through - 1 uninjured and the other half dead. The injured wolf took a flame arrow and then a lucky shot with Zar's trusty everlast arrow finished him off. As the second wolf neared zar fired his last spell (magic missile as it happened) but it barely injured the wolf. Knowing that my rogue and illusionist (especially my illisuionist) would be torn to pieces if the wolf got through Zar drew his dagger and hacked and slashed at the wolf. The wolf didnt hit Zar once but he got many attacks in upon the beast till, atlast, it fell to the ground.

    Thanks for the heads up Anakha, it seems you're right. My savings were okay, but now they're skyhigh ;)

    That leaves me with a new favourite character to find :D

    I just started a new game, and while I really like my Bard and Rogue as I did in my last game, I've developed a real fondness for my Druid and my Paladin/Transmuter.
    Characters that can do many different things and handle multiple tasks in a game are the best, and I'm foreseeing lots of great strategies with my Druid. The Paladin/Transmuter is coming along nicely, and she'll likely be mostly Transmuter with a few Paladin levels, but again it's that combination of abilities that really makes the character fun to play. I really dislike "power characters", the ones developed for maximum destructive capacity, those are dead boring.
