Haven't tried dual classing a human character before and would appreciate some advice. I decided to try it out in my third run through of IWD. I started a pretty well rolled character as a fighter with the idea of dualling after he reaches 9th level (I had read in another thread that 9th was a good point to do so), His stats are:
18/53 Str
18 Dex
16 Con
15 Int
09 Wis
13 Cha

The party is early in the Seldarine Hand and he is presently 8th level working on 9th. He has 3 slots on large sword prof., 2 on bow and 1 on mace. I had originally been thinking of going Bard, now I am wondering if Wizard would be better? Any thoughts out there?
