I don´t know about you, but I really like rangers because the can do anything (but they ar bad tanks and bombarders), and a few levels in any dex based character and rogues never is bad idea.

I agree that putting a couple of levels (4 max) of ranger into, let's say, your moon elf wizard/sorc, makes rpg sense as well as makes them able to be more proficient in bows and dual wield some nice daggers that benefit mages. I did just that and it has been very pleasing.

The same can be said for a couple of levels (no more than 2) of barbarian into your druid. Rpg value is you can make a raging polar bear (who wouldn't rage after being strained through chain mail during your tranformation!) and it helps make them a second level tank.

But your question is on favorite class--for powerplaying, I'll take the half-orc w/ a level or two of barbarian, fighter X any day. Choppity chop, axes oh my!

For role playing, the druids are fun. They are not so weak as before, and the neutrality and animal/nature angle is interesting.

 

Pardon me, but, so what can they do?

They can scout, fight in melee whit two-wepon, can be archers, can use druid like spells,and with some levels in rogue can be a thief and with 4 leves in fighter he can learn extra feats and wepon specialization.

And I change my question, which is your favorite character(his/her race,aligment,clases,and if you want feats, skills, ability points, etc...)?
for me:
Ranger x/fighter 4/rogue x - Human - chaotic good
STR:16 DEX:18 CON:14 INT:8 WIS:10 CHA:10

In Icewind dale, I liked Druids the best. This One I Love my New Sorceress.

 

My favourite is;
Aasimar - Paladin of Helm X/Fighter 4
STR 16 DEX 12 CON 18 INT 3 WIS 11 CHA 20
I have one PldoH 17/Ftr 4 and he has the most kills in my party.
He does 70 points of damage on smite evil criticals with long sword (Golden Heart...) and gets average 1/3 hit critical.

 

Faragon Feamith.
Aasimar Paladin of Ilmater/Cleric.
Str: 18 (+4)
Dex: 10
Con: 18 (+4)
Int: 8 (-2)
Wis: 20 (+5)
Cha: 6 (-3)

Aasimar: because of the WIS and CHA boosts, and the possibility to take the 'Luck of Heroes' feat, which gives a +1 to Saving Throws.
Paladin: because of the whole roleplaying factor, and the fact that they get a +4 saving throw bonus of course
Cleric: because of support spells for melee, as well as summoning, and nice offensive spells.
Skills: Concentration, and a little Wilderness Lore.
Feats: Luck of Heroes and the other ST boosters, as well as Spell penetration.

And yes, I'm aware of the low charisma, which makes the paladin abilities rather useless, but I think the added points to wisdom for sake of spellDC and constitution for Concentration are more than worth it. I could've taken more points from INT, but I prefer my characters with a little intelligence.

My current favourite is Maurice the human fighter x/Diviner 5. Cant remember his precise stats offhand, but he is dual wielding the brilliant shortsword +5 and suo's (sp) hook and wearing the abishai leather, wyrm's maw and bracers of icelandic pearl. The cloak of mystra's going his way when the party finds it, too.

 

A paladin whit 6 Cha??
I never see that, but he didn´t use his cha mod to boost his Saving Trows? (he did in D&D 3ed)

 

Half-Orc
BarbX/fighter4
Str-20
Con-18
Wis-18
Dex-16
Int-1
Cha-1
"Bee-Stings!"

 

Well, nothing wrong with my Paladin's savings... they're pretty high up there.

And as far as I know savings are only determined by DEX, CON and WIS respectively to Reflex, Fortitude and Will saves

 

A paladin gets positive CHA modifier added to his saving throws. So, a 6 CHA paladin will get 0(zero) bonus to saving throws.
Faragon, IMHO you really made a mistake. You sure should have high CHA on that build.

 

Druid is my favored class in IW1 but monks is my favored class in IW2.

 

A high charisma boost up the savings trows, i was right.

 

My favourite is character class is Paladin 1/Sorcerer, because they get really nice bonuses to saving throws (and can use lay on hands)

Here's example:
Aasimar Paladin 1/Sorcerer x
Str 10, Dex 18, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 20

Skills: Concentration and Spellcraft 10 to get Elemental feats (Spirit of flame, Aqua mortis etc.)
Feats: Dodge or Deflect Arrows

 

Don't ask why, but my favourite character was my Deep Gnomish Bard. A bad choice, yes. But fun, and decent at fighting.

 

Drow cleric or Sorcerer.

 

Drow Ranger,Paladin,Fighter,Wizard...just joking (i'm bored)

Actually my favorite is Female Aasimar Sorcerer with a very good picture(the black haired orange dressed woman who's holding a staff)

 

Khelben, I have that one too. But my favourite is a drow Paladin of Mystra. He's not that good at tanking, talking or anything, but he's fun to play with!

 

My favourite was Madoc Skoll, Human Bard. Just a really fun character to play and added a lot to the party. Bards continue to impress and surprise me in what they are capable of doing.
