You favorite class combo?

[Legacy_Shadooow]

               And basically any combination with sorc/wiz. Cos fighter can just swing with his sword but arcane spellcasters have almost unlimited possibilities.

My second favorite combo is wiz7/cleric3/MT30 (Mystic Theurge from PRC) this was really fun to play.

               MT is a killer. And the only way to pull off a serious mage/cleric combo.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Shadooow]

               Yea but even the cleric 20 / wizard 20 can be fun to play. (and with my unofficial patch's feature it can have epic spells.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Kail Pendragon]

               No doubt about the fact it can be fun to play. You can also make a decent build out of it but it always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. MT ftw.

               Heh.  I guess I am the only one to be a solo class.

MM all the way, bay-bee!

What can I say?  I love Wizards.  YMMV.

Well, Web, I guess you wouldn't find too shabby the Wiz 35/Rang 1/Assn 4 that I mentioned above '> MMM (multiclass melee mage) FTW! '>
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_WebShaman]

               Yeah, yeah, I know.  You rotten, MCer, you! '>

I will say this - it plays much better with the PRC!  Well, drop those 2 levels of Assassin.  You only really need 2 (UMD, Tumble), and you will need an extra level of Ranger (level 2, for the Discipline drop).  That gives you an extra level of Wizard, and that is a good thing.

Still, the MM is soooo good, that one can do it without MCing, and it remains viable.  Well, in most environments, anyway.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Kail Pendragon]

               Definitely Web! Your MM is a true NWN milestone.

I luv adding Rogue to Wizard; the Skill synergy is amazing!

Like gadgets? Set Traps! Ounce of prevention calls to you? Select all three Perception skills! Tired of that pixie? Open your own locks and traps, and summon a dragon! If only one could use Skill pts as ammo....

Amazing!

               Rangers also get Set Traps, do not forget that! (I personally find this alone the "breaking point" in the 3.0 Ranger).  The Wiz/Ranger/Assassin build that Kail mentions is an really nasty character!  I have played more than a few, and they really are nice.

While true, I prefer Rogues as they are also able to recover said traps, and use them against the one that provided them saving a little more gold; more poetic, too.

               <peeking around a corner>

Rolo Kipp (the character) has existed for more than 30 years - in D&D 1st, 2nd, Runequest, Paladium, Chivalry & Sorcery, Tunnels & Trolls, Sword's Path Glory, Temple of Apshai, Bard's Tale, Dungeon Master, UO (Beta + up), EQ (beta+u)...

He has always, always been a roguish wizard and always in the ratio of 2 levels (percentage points, whatever) wiz to 1 rogue.

I play him through every system that way and I've played him through every NwN mod I can get that way. I enjoy him (myself?) immensely (to answer the OP).

However, I also run my other old companions through everything:
VP (Dark elf Assassin)(single-class, as much as possible)
Cestus Dei (Dwarven Cleric/alchemist/smith... Artificer!)(single-class, ditto)
Nicholas Gently (Human fighter/"scout") A very sharp character...
Keira Briarmage (Sylvan Druid/wiz)
Skeaver the Reaver (Human berzerko fighter) (single-class. Period.Something broke inside him when a flenser demon ate his family... )
Edit: Blast, almost forgot Lucent Breeze! Human monk. Luce Bree was always a favorite with the ladies fair... something about his incedible stamina, his flowing robes, his dextrous fingers...

IMOHO, there is no better way to learn the weaknesses and strengths of a system than doing a complete run through with diverse characters. And using well-known and beloved characters (except for Skeaver... I mean, really!) really enhances the play.

Little side note: VP and Cestus have been trying to kill each other for decades... Rolo, he kinda likes the lady... She's got spirit.

               I like sword+magic combinations, the versatility is just fun. 16bard/14fighter/10rdd with Still spell allows me to haste myself in no-haste servers, apply my own keen edge + gmw, cast a song to increase my AB by 2 and AC by 5. The epic specialisation in a rapier with dev crit is just a small + in comparison to the additional damage and skill bonuses from song + spells.

I also find 29 cleric 10 Torm 1 rogue to be particularly fun STR cleric as a trickery-domain cleric, with the cleric allowing me to cast epic spells, 6 torm levels taken in epic my standard armorskin/prowess/epicwepfocus, and combining the +14 domain boost to simple rogue skill-dumping with the rogue class. Also, 50% concealment helps in melee, and the healing spells of course '> and if it's 16/4 pre-epic, all attack rounds with its usual +20 SpellAB worth of cleric spells. So much versatility, this build can pretty much do anything on any server, aside from ridiculously high ac... just have to settle for moderate ac and ultimate melee prowess '>

...and technically due to cleric domain, the rogue class isn't that OOC for roleplay servers either. Just need to justify why a torm cleric would have trickery as a domain -- which is easier to do when some classes consider it a "divine champion" class instead, allowing you a leniency of deities.

               Oh, and on a level 60 server (done via conversations) I have this 18 monk 18 druid 4 barbarian Dragonshaper which uses Improved Stunning Fist X to do 70 DC Stunning fist hits. I call him my Diamond Dragon. The most I've seen people able to crack their fortitude saving throws to is 67 so only thing he fears is pm mages '> Only they can both dispel his naturally decent AB from raw strength and be immune to stunning fist at the same time, evryone else just either gets stunned and floored or dispels me but still gets stunned and floored '> Dragon with stunning fist... it's just so much fun! And the low dragon-claw damage means the other player has to sit there and watch as your dragon chews him up with the occasional extra stunning fist to keep him stunned.

You haven't had true dragon fun till you play a stunning-fist dragon '>

               Monk/Wizard/Pale Master. You add magical skills to a fighting class with no armor limitations at all. I like this combo very much.
Being more precise usually: gnome (no one plays them :-)) wizard, pale master then monk
