Hi,
I've decided to play BG2 again... this time, though, I wanted to create a 3 member party which is more "rogue"-like or "sneaky". That means for me, ambushing the enemy with backstabs, traps, spells and arrows, while not solely relying on a tank character who stands there soaks up blows. It already consists of 2 members:
A halfling bounty hunter as my protagonist and an elven Cleric/Mage multiclass. These are probably set in stone as I always wanted to try those special traps and play the game in a more "tactic" way. At first, I wanted to replace the cleric/mage with a wild mage as I really like those but then decided that running the thief stronghold without a cleric would only trouble me since resting without a priest takes MUCH longer (and thus, I would not be able to return to the docks to pay my quota every week). Also, putting mage and priest spells into a sequencer sounds very interesting.
Well, I can't decide what class my third character should be. I thought of an elven archer who could effectively put down enemies, who were already damaged by traps, from a distance. But this would also prevent me from effectively using all those awesome swords (I mainly aim for 1h blade weapons as they fit "rogues" best, imo
) and I would loose quite a lot of meelee power. Because of this, I considered taking a stalker who specializes in swords and bows but will he be effective with ranged weapons throughout the game? Which other classes would be a good addition to my "sneaky" party?
I'd be glad to hear any suggestions
