Whats the best race/class combination to play?
While this is indeed a Frequently Asked Question, it’s one without a single correct answer. It depends heavily on your style of play, your accumulated experience in playing, and how seriously you want to be challenged. The following recommendations should help the beginner pick a combination with above average chances of survival. Warrior-types (Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, Monks, Weaponsmiths, Farmers, Barbarians, Beastfighters) tend to survive better at the lower levels, but they’ll start having problems near the middle of the game unless they can find a way of getting rid of their more dangerous opponents from a distance. Training missile skills is one way of doing this, keeping yourself well-stocked in magic items or picking up a few spells along the way is another. Don’t expect to win if you engage in melee with every single opponent you encounter. Among these classes, I think that Fighters, Barbarians, Beastfighters and Monks have the edge. Fighters start with excellent equipment
