Hey all!
I tried asking this on my 'team building' topic, but didn't get any responses to it.... (so sad!) so I figured I'd try making another topic, see if that helps any. As the topic says, I am trying to come up with ideas for my main char, but having issues. I've only played BG1, and I'm not familiar with a lot of the new BG2 stuff. That said, I don't know if I'm going to play BG2 yet, as it kind of of worries me lol. I won't discuss that here, as i already made that topic. Point is, I'm trying to make a good, neutral, and evil aligned teams, and need three mc's.
Good MC: My team will likely be Imoen, Ajantic, Mincs, Dynaheir, and TBA. I am going to play a healer type. Only I can't decide if I should be a pure dwarf cleric, a dual classed human fighter/cleric, or a elven ranger/cleric lol. I think the ranger cleric is only useful in BG2 where the higher level spell kick in, and don't know if it will do more harm then good in BG1. I've heard the fight/cleric is rated highly, but not so sure why. I like the idea of a dwarf cleric as getting a 20 con would mean my healer doesn't need healing for the most part. Thoughts?
Neutral MC: Team will likely be Jaheira, Xan, Branwen, Safana, and TBA. I'm thinking a fighter here. I was thinking a half orc pure fighter, but here lots of good about the kensai kit. I just can't imagine how losing missile weapons, armor, and bracers can still be a useful class. Ideas?
Evil MC: Most room for change in this party, but I'm thinking Edwin, Vicona, and Shar-Teel as my core, rest still open. I'm thinking a thief type for this party. I was thinking a halfing pure thief to easily max out my thief skills, but seems everyone suggests being a human to dual class later. For a pure thief, I keep going back and forth on assassin and swashbuckler, as both sound interesting. Suggestions?
Any help is appreciated!
