Hi all,
So, I'm PnP player for a long time now, but never really played with AD&D rules and don't have much experience with this game at all, just wanna play it now since my friend keep telling me that its story is so awesome, and I have to see it from myself.
The thing is, I played D&D 3ed and had a great time rolling an dwarf fighter/cleric with a two handed mace (with I sadly realize that don't exists in BG series...) and just wanna play a similar character. I'm willing to play two handed swords or even axesin this case. Now, I know the shortest way to do this would be simply roll a paladin, but, I just don't like to be lawful good at all (always played true neutral or lawful neutral characters). Besides, paladin spell don't seem to be that good in my opinion... I mainly use my cleric spells for buffing me and paladin kind of lack this spells...
The other thing is... I don't get this multi - dual class thing at all... Never made much sense for me and just don't get it, but if I'm to play this kind of character throught the BG series, I will need to understand it...
So I'd like to ask you guys, what tips (atributtes, weapon proficiences, spells, multi vs. dual class, etc) you have and what do you recommend me to play. I'm planning to use this character throught the role BG series and planning on take a 4-6 characters group, so no need for a jack-of-all-trades build... Just a good melee build, using a two handed weapon (if its too hard to do, maybe a dual axe/blunt weapons build) , with some nice buffs/heals (not intended to be the party healer). Also, I'm kind of like romance in RPG games, so I think being a human would be a factor here... But that would be just an extra, my focus here is a good build.
Thank you all, eager to start playing :)
