Although, with the added 2d6 sneak attack damage bonus, maybe I would be better off with two weapons. I really haven't decided yet. |
...just looking on the 3rd edition rules 2-handed weapons might be equal or even better...
...but in IWD2 I would prefer 2-weapon fighting, due to the items you find!
btw.: even with maxed out 5 attacks per round the off-hand attack has a much better BAB then the 4th (if hasted) or 5th attack you get from a high BAB-build!
...and AFAIR you also get an additional the sneak attack for your off-hand attack (or was this in ToEE?) - together with ehnhanced (elemental) damage effect weapons you do alltogether much more damage then with a 2-handed weapon!
-------------------------------
just a few comments on your final party...
...even if you certainly won't get in to much trouble with this set-up:
1.: reaching about L10 you will see that this build is already that powerfull that it will more benefit from MI then from another non-caster level!
2.: 25 cleric level are to much from my point of view - especially for your 2nd tank and back-up divine caster!
...think about adding rogue, barb or fighter levels and eventually skip the ranger therefore
3.: your choice - but being CG you can't even add any Pal levels! (HA-quest!)
4.: 25 wiz are also a bit to much - for what did you add the bard level?!
5.: if you add the monk levels late you can just skip them - that late in the game you won't need evasion for this build!
I would eventually add rogue levels earlier - as this gives you definetly evasion with robes (not 100% sure about the monk evasion) and AFAIR you will find a rogue-only CHA increasing item!
6.: best possible build unmodded - btw. if you change your mind, you can install the mod at every point of the game...
...but then go for 21 - as this is quite fun!
