| | Yep, kits are gone now (and it doesn't look like they're implementing the 3e equivalent, prestige classes either). But the freedom of 3rd edition mutli-classing more than makes up for it. http://forums.bioware.com/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

| | | How does this fabled third edition multiclassing work? You choose your class at level up and something about exp. penalties?
What is the difference between multi classing and dual (is it possible to triple class now)? Who can do which, is choosing class at level up strictly human? |

| | The BIS message board explains the new 3E rules quite nicely. Go here to learn all about multi-classing and more.

| | | I hope they don´t add prestige clases to IWD II, cause first of all,
for those that do pnp, there are so so so many prestige classes that there is no way they can incude all of them, and second, well if they do it would be like having kits all over again. Not much diffrence really.

Best to go without them in favor of game balance.

| | | This is all I've decided on so far.
CN, Tiefling, Rogue (Name: Desdemona Uriel)
CN, Drow, (class unknown)
Edit: I'm also planning on trying to make a char similar to my PnP character, a Chaotic Good Elven Fighter with a Dex of 20 that uses long bows and has the feats that improve archery skills.

| | | I know that this sound kind of lame, but I hope that they include some sample characters. I have played DnD for years, but I never bought the 3E rules. I don't understand them very well, and I don't want to have to wade through a whole bunch of new rules and crap! I want to PLAY! If they put in some sample characters it would help an old school player like myself in many ways.

I don´t think you are going to need sample characters to play, don´t worry. First of all, how do you think people how never played any dnd stuff, either pnp of whatever, are going to play the game. It´s a computer game, and as all comp games that are from original pnp games, the don´t even include 50% of the rules. And as you make you character at the begining, well it really explains everything to you. Also i´m sure the will explain some stuff in some kind of guide.

i´m relaly suprised at the alignments you have chosen, CN.
i though you where one of those people that was either LG or NG.
And Drow, well SS, what DO you have on mind!?!

| | One character I've been set on making for some time is a Gold Dwarf Paladin3/FighterXX. I didn't really see this character as a spell casting type, so by multi-classing at third level he gets all of the paladin special abilities (detect evil, divine grace, lay on hands, divine health, aura of courage, smite evil, remove disease, and turn undead) without having spells (which start at 4th level). He's a great fighter (even more so than a straight class fighter due to divine grace, which adds his charisma bonus to his saving throws) and yet still paladiny. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/winkgrin.gif

| | | I am really psyched about being able to make a Mage/Thief from scratch and have him wear armor! That will be sweet! I always thought that Elves should have made leather armor that you could cast in. I mean they make Elven Chain Mail, why not leather? I always pictured leather as a more natural substance to work with anyways. Leave the metal to the Dwarves!

So, I compromised and went with Chaotic Neutral. Actually, after looking out how I play(generally doing whatever will benefit me the most, though sometimes just doing random things for the sake of chaos and randomnessity), I've realized CN fits me better than CG. 
I couldn't manage being LG, even if I tried, mainly because I never can figure out what the law is.  |

It's a nice way of seeing how your worldview relates to the D&D alignment system (I'm a die hard Neutral Good). http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/wink.gif

| | | I personally like to play a good guy. I like the idea of holding up the ideals of herosim and justice! Corny but that is the way I like to play.
