Maybe a little off topic, but just to interject...I found that an Elven ranger equipped with a bow was the ultimate scout, especially if he's hasted, because he can lure the enemies one by one and take out entire bands of enemies by just picking them off, or use oils of fiery burning/poitions of explosions (fireballs), especially when you have the boots of speed (you can run out of the line of sight and hide in shadows again)....also an invisible (potions) thief can detect/disarm traps without being seen....so if you have a ranger and a thief you can cut away a little bit of the cream in a dungeon.
And I'll be the latest one to congratulate Gruntboy on an awesome thread....
