Hi, I'm currently running an evil (apart from Imoen) party through BGT-WEIDU, in training for BGEE. I'm using Imoen as a straight utility thief (traps, locks mostly), but also want a strong stealthy back-stabbing fighter/thief (or fighter>thief). I'm trying to decide between Monteron and a Shar-Teel dualed to a thief, which do you think would be best? Monteron has the shorty bonuses to saving throws and +1 with a sling, but Shar-Teel is much stronger, though has worse Con.
My current party (first time I've run an evil party, its fun!) looks like
Kagain (Dwarf Fighter, my main tank, would like to replace with Dorn in BGEE, though)
CHARNAME (lawful evil Elf Fighter/Mage, with profs in 2-handed swords and longbows)
Monteron (Halfling Fighter/Thief, focus on hide shadows/move silently)
Imoen (straight utility Thief, won't dual her) - was tempted to replaceher with Safana, who is CN,, but Imoen is better and won't leave the party even if my rep is bad)
Viconia (Elf Cleric)
Edwin (Human Conjurer)
Also, If going for Shar-Teel, what would be the best level to dual her at, without spending forever waiting for her to get her fighter skills back? I'm think even after level 3 fighter (for the bonus proficiency) might be okay, though that means picking her up quite early (she starts at level 4 if CHARNAME is level 3 or more), so she starts at level 2, but Mutamin's garden is quite a challenge early on (though I guess I could try to avoid to worst of it until later). Thanks!
