    [​IMG] There has been lot's of talking about what is the best powergamer dualclass, ie kensai/mage, kensai/thief and so on. Now, if you wanted to be a weakgamer, I think this is the worst combination. Dualclass archer/cleric. Anyone got something worse?

    [​IMG] a priest of Illmater: surrender or I´ll spank me ...

    You´re right Extremist, a combo: priest of Illmater-thief but with a dex of 10.

    Btw: You can always have a kit in your first class when you dual ;)

    He asked about combo.

    So get Ilmater priest with thief and that's it. Dunno if you actually can dual this.

    Anything would do. I just figured that the archers main asset, his missile weapon bonus would become useless as a cleric can't use piercing attacks.

    How about a mage dual classed to thief, at 15th level ;->. All those mage hit points and thaco, combined with the abilities of a low level thief ;->.

    Hmm, as far as I know Yoshimo only has the stats to dual to fighter. But, I think I get your point (though I still don't have any parties out of chapter 2 yet).

    I like to equip Yoshimo with some items from shadowkeepers dirty trick section: vampire sword (of course without proficiency slot), bracs of bondage or fumblings, the rings and so on and - of course - the girdle of sex change :D Yoshi has to pay :D

    I think a one-way shapeshifter who specialises in domestic animals would be a pretty bad class.
