Interesting class combinations on the test server

Just thought I would start a thread discussing character class combinations in Unidan.

I have been playing on the test server for 6 months now and have noticed that many people use interesting multiclass combinations. This is partly due to the high mortality rate on the server - for instance - it is unlikely that you will reach a higher level - so many folks take on interesting class combinations to get extra skills and abilities.

I have tried some combinations myself (46 dead since last wipe - so I have a lot of practice making characters). Some of my favorite combos are:

Cleric/Fighter - get this char to Cleric 3 and fighter 2 and you have a decent fighter with healing and buffing abilities, and weapon specialization (but don't take him into the temple - I had a char killed by one skeletal warrior in the tempe due to bad die rolls)

Cleric/Monk - my current favorite - straight monks get powerful with higher levels - but who gets to higher levels anyway? Taking a level or three of cleric gets some nice buffing spells (magic domain: mage armor, plant domain: barkskin) that increase survivability for the monk. Same effect could be acheived with druid/monk - haven't tried that yet.

I have a zillion others - and many like the rogue/ranger for instance - have been discussed extensively in the NWN forum. Unidan is a different animal however - what class combinations have you had success with on the test server?

I did not try many class combinations on the server but only due to the fact the only 2-3 of my characters managed to gain a level.

My most successful combination was Paladin/fighter (not very interesting) which managed to reach level 10 (mind you that was before the first wipe and the time when healing kits were around).

The idea of combining a warrior class with a cleric can really help your survival rate (even cure minor wounds is useful on the server) and adds to the RP as well.

Anyway i stopped playing on the server a while after the second wipe so many of the new additions/chances i have only heard and not experienced. Hopefully i'll start playing again in a few weeks after i am done with some school projects.

Unless, of course, you have bad luck like me, and your characters die RIGHT before they level. (or, if I get some luck, right after)
