thief to mage

Post by maximouse »

Ok. I want to dual a thief to mage. Will his fighting abilities be any good? I mean, he gets 2 shots per round for bows but will it be good enough since he wont get fighter thaco

Yeah. I noticed that the mage is the only odd character out where it needs 8m experience to get to max levels.

Yes, you should be alright, as long as you have Tensor's Transformation though with any mage combination I tend to go melee as those characters are the hardest to take down.

2 shots per round with a shortbow for 1-6 damage each is better than nothing. But it's far less than half of what a specialised fighter would do with a composite bow.
For dealing out physical damage you need a fighter since other classes neither get extra attacks or specialisation bonuses.
