Starting a new game

What kinda character do you guys recommend for a newbie :P

[galraen]

It depends on how you like to play. Do you prefer a magical approach, a Tech approach or a sneak thief approach?

For magic, a background that enhances Willpower is advantageous, for tech Intelligence is pretty essential, and for melee/thieving Strength and dexterity are the prime attributes.

Avoid backgrounds that give a bonus to skills, they aren't worth it.

If you are going the magic route, harm is a decent start spell, don't worry too much about the fact that it's Necro-Evil.

A very simple, yet effective character: max melee, max dodge, Necro/White, Force spells (Shield is awesome!), Fireball, Haste, near the end Teleportation. Focus on Dex & Str, take "Only Child" as background.
