Who was the dungeon master when you did it?

I always multiclassed and dual-classed most of the time to keep bonuses. My main is a fighter/thief/mage.

If I have to be a class I'd be a combat type, though if it were real life I think a young sorcerer with a bit of fighting skill would be cool.

I take it you'd be a fighter type throughout right?

Oh yeah my guy was purely a purely brutal fighter. Everything mages could do I could get a maical item that does the same thing

True for the most part, but mages are serious prep kings... contingency spells and spell sequencers aren't the best thing to be on the wrong side of...

That is true but thats why you always have a good willpower but yes Mage's with a ton of spells with time to know who their fighting are very dangerous

But having a person who can fight up front AND prep AND detect illusions or cast priest spells is even MORE dangerous, esp. at higher levels.

Yeah but they become that whole jack of all trades master of none deal.

Basically I like to turn my guys into fighting machines. That and I get them very powerful magical items.

Not quite, what happens is they start out weaker... but in higher levels one level as a level 40-41 will cost like 1,000,000 exp. That's like 20 levels in a lesser group. At such high levels your THAC0 has reached it's max and you are only gaining some hitpoints or a spell or two. By saving one mere level you are going up 20 or so in another group and they get all of their most important stuff early one, so there's no need for higher levels unless your character has a subclass with bonuses. Fighters by themselves are usually the weakest class in the game, they have nothing but the equipment they carry. Use a thief and you get the epic ability "use any item" which is the best ability in the game, and it's permenant. Now you are using things only wizards, thieves, and other restricted classes can use.

Or you have a high level wizard. By expermenting with the charts, you'll see he'll only gain a spell or two, but you'll usually have no need for so many spells at a super high level. But you could use a low armor class, or extra attacks per round. I really had nothing to lose when I did it.... then the sick combination of combining cleric spells and wizard spells (super contingencies) or healing your party and doing multiple summong makes them godly powerful.

It depends on how you biuld your fighter up. Most take what they have and bring it up while I take a few more exotic abilities mind I'm going from memeory so I can't tell you the statistics behind it but my favorite guy was My two battle axe guy. He was a beast in combat because weilding the dual weapons with with that little bit extra help from the higher levels he could cause massive amounts of damage in any given turn.

Plus with certain magical items used to take him higher he was quite the tank. Two enchanted axes and some higher powered armor along with some speed boots and he wasa wrecking the machine.

Generally by themselves Fighters are the weakest on the higher levels but combined with other classes simple basic with the Fighter Higher Ups make them machines in killing.

Don't get me wrong, my fighters were tanks long ago, but they became even more powerful when I took a risk and experimented. Plain old fighter just get a lot of weapons, Kensais have armor restriction but get +1 to hit and damage every 3 levels, with some bonuses in speed factor. They are ok to single class because at high levels they are hitting and damaging plus 20, which is great.

Fighter Mages and other multi/dual classes can wear all of the same stuff so the weapons wouldn't be a problem, if you didn't want your fighter to lose much, you could simply dual class him off as a wizard or something and get yourself to cast really good spells, then stay a fighter for good and get both abilities back. A few little points that mean little for exange for spells that allow you to turn invisible, teleport or double your hitpoints, make duplicates of yourself, and especially freeze time is well worth it.

Sorceror/ Barbarian sounds ok, but they already sacrifice skill for intuitive abilities. I like to do it with classes that have more options. Fighter/ Wizards/Thieves/ Clerics.

[newjak]

Yeah I agree although I never played as cleric

Yeah they were a handful.

The other thing I loved to fight were Demons because they could be very tricky.

Either is fine with me, but if the DM sucks I like to do it.

How about yourself?

[Dja Majista]

Have you DM'd before? IMO Being a DM rocks, but it can be kind of stressful, sometimes it's nice to sit back and just be a player. As a DM I tend to make a lot of war strategy missions, like defending/attacking a castle.

It's like this forum, so much upkeep to do, but it rocks. Sometimes just logging on and posting with no responsibility is fun, instead of trying to come up with new stuff all the time. I like being in charge though.


Remember that mini game we did with Joeseph in charge?

[Dja Majista]

you mean waay back when we didn't even have a DnD book and we sort of just made our own futuristic DnD game? All we had was several clear dice... Was that when you drew your character?
