I beleave that Fable is correct. I'm a big fan of sorcerers but a friend of mine prefers Mages so we always debat them and it seem that the sorcerers one big weakness it a lack of spell verity. Mages get every spell they can get their hands on but a sorcerer learns about 1 to 3 each time he levels.

Main character will be a human Paladin. Or not. I dunno. I don't even know why I answered this thread. I better go and take some more medication. Bye.

I think IŽll go for a druid who has a couple of fighter levels. IŽve bounced between all the classes and finally made up my mind! And please oh please oh PLEASE check out my "Class question" thread.

In ID2 I can take a rogue level for removing traps and pick locks and sorceror levels to cast some spells (only to get some extra spice for my char.) and then I can develop a hayaa ninja fighter. Like this: Rog lvl1 or 2/Sor lvl 2-4/Monk lvl XX (Right Kayless )
There are some thongs about monk that trouble me:
1.Why does it have to be a MONK?!? Why not a ninja for example...IŽm not a robed preast-like religion fanatic who lives in a selibat
2.The animation...oh God! A monk looks soooo stupid and somehow stiff. He kicks oddly and his clothes are that of a human fighter. Why didnŽt they make a whole new outfit for the monk?


She might have a nice lilŽ familiar a small dragon maybe...

1. This is 3ed so all thief and spiecal things are called SKILLS, monks are open to the hide skill but with that one level of rogue(have that be first level for most skill pionts)you can choose the other as class skills(cross class skill cost double), a level four sorc will beable to use Invablly so that is good.
2.Monks dont have to be priests, they are warriors first and formost.
3. The monk animation is gone, lt will use the fighter animation
4. There are NO F*CKING FAMILIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Mianna, like the last person noted, these are skills. That means they aren't one-shots, but develop over time. If you take one level of roguery and do the rest as a sorc, you'll be a pitiful thief, only able to handle your tasks in the starting town.

On the other hand, once you get, say, 15 levels of thief, you could pursue a career as a sorc, or a wizard, ranger, etc, and do quite nicely.
