Netromancer
1. extra spell plus W/ rings of wizardry makes him good

Paladin. Its always a Paladin for me because they make great party leaders. A smidgen less lethal than a pure fighter in combat, they have the added lay on hands and healing spells as well as assorted support spells.

My main characters in BG, NWN and ToEE all have been paladins, as have a number of my AD&D PCs.

Other favourite classes: Ranger (though limited as a main PC) and mage.

PS: I hear that in BG2 you can quest for a Holy Sword. If so, I GOTTA get that game and export my PC to it.

Ranger.
But it's kind of tiresome, because one can only have 20 arrows in one slot. Not 40, as it is in BG2.
Is there a mod which changes that? Or a way I can change that myself?

The Dark Side of the Sword Coast allows you to carry 50 arrows and 100 slingbullets IIRC.

Come to think of it, it might be TotSC, and not DSotSC, that gives you the 50 arrow thing. I'm not sure though. Does anyone know?

BG1 Favourite class: Fighter.

Not so easy to be killed, handles any weapon very well, not so many restrictions, allows mistakes (a few precious while you're learning).

BG2 Favourite Class: Barbarian.

Barbarian Rage (no need to tell bout the rest)

ToB Favourite Class: Fighter Mage.

Does imprisionment, finger of death, absolute immunity, stoneskin mean anything to you?

Promissing class: Bard.

They could be better, but they're cool to play through any BG series games, as well as in IWD or NWN.

Well in Baldur's Gate I my character is a Fighter, and upon importing into Baldur's Gate II she becomes a Barbarian. (I always figured that the combination of her Heritage & being infected as a Werewolf had some effect since it was my understanding that if you didn't seek out the cure, your party would transform but you wouldn't. )

Besides, she did take out the Werewolf Caves all by herself considering that the rest of the party couldn't keep up with her Boots of Speed.

For more arrows in one slot try here for the easy of use mod.
or try www.weidu.org

I dont like rangers in BG1, the dont realy ahve anything over a fighter, and a fighter can specialize.

I like the plain fighter using bows the best in BG1. In BG2 it has to be the wildmage (realy fun and realy poerfull character in BG2, would love to play one in BG1)
