I've just started IWDII again and decided to do some of the things i always wondered about but never got around to.
I vote transmuter for the side quest, although the bonus HP isn't much...
But in my new party my main character is PaladinOfMystra/Transmuter, my main tank and negotiator, and she's just great!! She focuses on transmutation & enchantment and self-buffs.
First time i played a pure mage, each time i reached a new spell level my spellbook didn't have any, so i had to wait until i reached a shop. IWDII has poor scroll placement, so i like to multiclass my mages.
My Paladin8/Transmuter22 is followed by a Monk20/Sorcerer10(i had to try this), a Druid xx/Dreadmaster1, a Dreadmaster19/Bard11 and a Drow Rouge9/Cleric Of Mask21. A very fun party to play so far (Underdark normal mode). Numbers indicate planned levels.
Cheers, Mulligan
