| |  Multi Classing, or not.
Just became a member, and am early awaiting IWD2. Icebound is a godsend! A quick question I have is this:
Is anyone else considering NOT using the 3rd edition multi-classing rules? Just having a Paladin, Sorceror, Rogue, etc. without all of the cross classing?
I seems kind of neat for making a specific character that you want, but overall I think I may just stick with the old way of doing things, at least for my first time through the game.
Anyone care to comment. Perhaps I am missing something.

| | | I strongly doubt that my wizard will multiclass. My bard will, but only later in the game, and my cleric will, but much, much later.

| | I always play as pure Paladin the first time through a new game and this is what i'll do with IWD2. I'll begin experimenting later between the classes and multiclass characters.

| | | I do the same. Gotta love the paladin! I usually take a classic party - Paladin, Fighter, Barbarian/Ranger, Cleric, Thief, Wizard/Sorceror. Although I am thinking paladin, fighter, cleric, thief, wizard and sorceror for my first group. Have to see. I usually create 10-15 different parties before I find one I like the balance of. Lets just say I can get through Irenicus' Prison in BG2 very quickly!

| | | Yes i prefer paladin too, and now with the 3e D&D the paladin class is more balanced(not overpowered) and the skills more appropriate for the way of the paladin.

| | | I will multi some of my party (if I have them) such as :
Rogues : only use them for finding/disarming traps so when proficient here I will add some wizard or fighter levels
Druids : more useful IMO when multi'd with fighter
Rangers : only useful taking a level of ranger (may multi with rogue above)
The following members of my party (should I have them) will NOT be mutli'd ever
Paladin
Wizard / Sorcerer
Fighter

| | | If you pick your classes/races right a one level multi-class to fighter can do wonders. e.g. At second level I added fighter to my wild elf sorcerer, got all the feats/weapon proficiencies for a fighter and a healthy number of hit points. It's a good boost for a low level character, and so long as one class is favored there are no penalties. |

| | | In my current game I gave my Paladin, Barbarian, and Battleguard of Tempus a level or two of fighter at the beginning in order to get the extra feat which I think is pretty useful. And after getting my Fighter/Barbarian to level 2 and 9 respectivly I began to level up as a fighter again in an effort to get weapon specialization at level 4. I used a potion that gave a perminant damage reduction in a few types of damage classes to make up for the fact that I probably won't be able to get him to level 11 Barbarian on normal difficulty. That of course gives Barbarians a natural damage reduction of 1 in ALL damage types, but agree or disagree, I thought it was worth the sacrifice to get that extra damage point.
