- Can I have a dual classed with kits in BOTH his first and second class ? Think not...but it'll be cool to have a Beastmaster/Shapeshifter :: :D :D </STRONG>

Here's a few others:

Stalker/Priest Of Helm
Kensai/Assassin
Totemic Druid/Mage
Inquisitor/Blade

Ahhh ...

That all depends on whether you roleplay or not. If you do, does it match your alignment? I'd say, unless you're evil, it does not. If you don't roleplay, then who cares ...

I completely agree. Everybody tells him to wait until he's level 24 and gets the UAI ability. It sounds to me that these people are not very well versed in "The art of the thief".

You don't need to wait until ...

Yes, I suppose you're right. I was a bit hard on him and his post. I don't normally go around flaming so flagrantly, but here I was reading these interesting posts and getting very into what was being said and I came accross his. It caught me totally of guard and I lashed out at him ...

*Applauds*

Well done, Riverwind. However, I would rate the Stalker/Cleric at an A, as opposed to your rating of A-.

[EDIT] Could you imagine how amazing the Stalker/Cleric AKA "Stealth Bomber" ;) would be if you could multiclass him/her? :D

When a scroll is used it is used at the current level of the user. (Read an Animate Dead scroll sometime when you are over 15th level)

Agreed. Thieves should not have the Scribe Scroll ability. That should have gone to the Mage or Bard ...

You obviously ...

To answer your questions:

1. Longbows give a greater distance from enemy and deal more damage than shortbows. You can get the quiver of plenty on 1st loor of Watcher's Keep (go immediately) for unlimited +1 arrows.

2. Yes. WW and GWW do apply to missile weapons. And may I reccomend Critical Strike ...

The problem you face here, my friend, is that you are trying to DC to an invalid MC option. You tried to DC a ranger-mage.

Here are the valid MC options:

fighter-thief
fighter-mage
mage-thief
fighter-cleric
cleric-thief
mage-cleric
cleric-ranger (!!!)
fighter-druid
fighter-mage-thief
fighter-mage ...

</STRONG>

The Stalker/Thief is not a viable character, because Ranger/Thief is not a valid MC. Besides ...

Though I agree with all the finer points posted about shortbows, I still prefer the longbow for range.

I've tested my theory about this and it is right on the mark. You can shoot a longbow from a much greater distance than you can a shortbow. Which will just about even out the number of attacks ...

A tree hugger that loses their senses and chops down trees in a batte rage, then feels bad about it?

Only if you want to run around with a tree hugging dumb ass.

Right you are. Now imagine the incredible power (cheese) of a party consisting of 6 Bards. Let's say, 4 Skalds and 2 Blades (they can't all sing at the same time - jeez! ;) ).

Let's see now, bearing in mind that Bard Songs ARE cumulative, that's -16 AC, +16 to hit, +16 to damage, 20% magic res ...

Along the same topic line. Has anybody ever checked to see if the game ACTUALLY gives the number of attacks per round it claims in the record page?

I was counting the times my guys were hitting the enemies and something didn't add up. So, to test my theory I stripped all the armor from an NPC and ...

"Even still, with the FoA (three heads - SoA), each hit did about 20 points of damage (non critical), she never misses, and she becomes basically invulnerable. Granted, it is a lot of stuff to waste on one small gal for a single encounter but can you picture the look on Minsc's face when aerie ...

I have done what you are about to do, and belive me it is even harder than it sounds.

I role-played a CN fighter/thief and a LG ranger/cleric duo, multi-player party through BG2 once. It was a lot of fun, but very hard for both PCs to stay true to their nature.

Example:
