    I admit, this is a pretty good roll, but why would you want to multiclass that much? You do realize by doing so that, more then likely, you probably won't get the really really spiffy High Level Abilities in ToB, cause you have to be level 20 for a fighter, and level 25 for clerics and mages, I think. And if you tell me that you're gonna duel this half elf, then I will be forced to get a pipe and knock some sense into you. Sure, I mean, you could fighter/cleric or fighter/mage or even cleric/mage, but duelling all three is a horrid, horrid waste of time.

    My advice? Simple. Me, personally, I'd go with a fighter, simply because I do so love the Equalizer,(It's blue!) but if you must duel, then duel a fighter/mage.

    93 can be rolled,especially if you are a Paladin, though i hate all dual and multiclasses my favorites are
    Human Kensai,(never played but planning to)
    STR MAX
    DEX MAX
    CON MAX
    INT Smt like 10-12
    WIS 13-14
    CHA 10-12 it would be really good it i roll 14-15(or i'll try Ring of Human Influence of course, though i want to use Ring of Protection,Ring of Gaxx or Ring of Earth Control :( )
    Elf Sorcerer,maxed INT,high CON DEX and WIS
    And on my first time i imported my Paladin from BG1,it's STR CHA and CON was 19(thanks to tomes) and i was amazed that i got the choose a kit! the next time i think i will import my fighter from BG1 with 19 STR DEX and CON.

    Pure kensai is truly a GOD.
    I have one now lvl26 and he does about 40 damage each hit, wears boots of speed and has 4 1/2 attacks per round.
    Yes his AC is only -4 but all i have to do is cast lvl 2 druid spell Barkskin and his AC is -12 :D . Above all he never misses unless its a critical miss.

    a true god :eek:

    Yes, I was glad you could chose a kit when importing a character from BG1. An Undead Hunter makes the Vampire fights as easy as pie. ;)

    Elven Archer here. Nice and hefty damage. He cannot miss either(like the Kensai). The dragons falls like orcs:) The only crappy thing is the armor restrictions if you are soloing(I do that all the time)...

    F/C/M is really powerfull, but I think you should only take this class as a solo so you can gain good levels. (Well, perhaps one or two partymembers) The cleric and mage spells complement eachother perfectly.

    Damnit, now you're making me want to play this, resulting in me having to roll a thousand times till I get 93 points :)

    I actually killed the Red Dragon(Firkraag) with a F/M/T, not exactly with the same levels as you did, it's not possibly, but I wasn't that high level...

    Errr Tarol'azh, a.k.a.Tobias, how did you get a level 50 monk with 18 in all stats, without cheating? or was that the point of your post?

    A good alternative, seemingly much less popular, would be the gnomish mc fighter-illusionist. He'd receive a better save vs. wands and would be able to get exceptional strength and a con of 18, plus an int of 19. Worth consideration I think.

    I like Archers. You get the good hitpoints of a Warrior (including the Constitution bonus), the best possible THACO, and you don't have to wade into melee combat all the time -- in fact, your designed to avoid melee combat!

    If there were a way to make is so that if you have a cleric along with a Raise Dead or Resurrection spell, when the main character gets killed that spell is automatically cast, that'd be great. I'd be more willing to risk my PC. I mean, if everyone else in the party can be brought back (including Imoen, who is also Bhaalspawn, so none of this "it's the fact you're a Child of Bhaal" stuff) then why not the main character?

    Hey, don't forget the swashbuckler. I personally have finished ToB with a human. THAC0 in - area, AC about -15, saving throws also in the negative area. + special abilities (traps, evasion, use any item). You can combine the best items on him and send him forward while the rest of the party makes barbecue. :D

    Human Assassin dualled to mage is da bomb. Just cast misslead and haste, and backstab anything you want as many times as you want. Since he is an assassin he has traps aswell, making some battles easy to win if you have a need to be cheesy.

    Since I am fan of Fighteresque types in the game, I would choose pure dwarven fighter or Human/Cavalier... :)

    Generally who's better - pure Paladin or Cavalier? :confused:

    Cavalier without a doubt, you're never gonna use missile weapons with a paladin (I never did) and you get all the cool bonuses for nothing.

    From a "what Irenicus did and who he is" perspective perhaps an elf character would be fun...

    I think the Inquisitor is better than the Cavalier. The dispels + true seeing are very useful cos they take almost no time to cast.

    my preference i suppose!
