    I am cinsidering playing with a swashbuckler, Deathmage. How was it? I am worried it will be boring playing a thief and that the swashy won´t do any real damage in combat. Is this true?

    Am playing an elf thief through BG1 first. Shall choose kit in BG2. Than I will have 19 in str and 20 in dex.

    I prefer necromancers as it's always good to
    cast Finger of Death at a particularly difficult
    enemy.

    I am stuck on Bards. Druids (Avengers) come next to them.
    But most of the time it will be a bard kit. Played through SoA and ToB with a Jester as PC, IIRC.

    It is a little disappointing that Jesters loose their stunnig song when they achieve the improved bards song. After all, its their special thing. Next time, I will have Haer'Dalis join my party so that my Bard may keep this ability, while Harry gets improved. :)

    I usually play as a fighter/mage with Katanas, flails and staffs. A fighter mage with the Staff of the Magi is a truly deadly character.

    I played a Swashbuckler/Mage and it was ok. Considering I didn't have to have another thief it was great because he was a wayyy better fighter and thief than Imoen and a wayyy better mage than Jan. This way you can have another character. I thought he was going to be like a fighter/mage though, so I played him wrong. I had him dual-wield and fight melee. I should have had him use a bow and fire spells away.
