What are some good class combinations?
I like: Fighter/thief–uses larger bows and melee weapons with advanced specialization, thieving skills, good HP, potential for 18/xx exceptional strength, two quick weapon slots, very versatile character. Cleric/mage–can function as front-liner in crucial early chapters, two spellbooks, uses any wand in the game, can cast mage spells while using shield and helmet. Gnomish cleric/illusionist is even better due to the specialty mage factor. In a multiplayer game, if playing with just one other human (or by yourself but in multiplayer mode with two created characters), if each of you took one of the above class combos you could pretty much choose whichever other NPCs you enjoyed most to be in the party without having to worry about classes very much.
