Hey, this seems to be fun. I'll go create a assasin/mage now. Is bounty hunter/swashbuckler/mage allowed?

Hmmm, I've never heard of that particular combo before.

Which is better bow or duel weild for an assasin

I prefer to dual wield myself. In fact I seldom use any missile weapons at all. But of course there’s room for divergent opinions.

It’s all a matter of personal preference.

I thought the assassin could only put one star into dual weild. If that's true than I would not dual weild because there thac0 is not great just because they are a theif and dual weilding with only one star would lower your thac0 on both hands I think. Anyways, what weapons do you use anyways? My assassin uses celestial fury (of course) and single weapon style.

Don't worry Dude. I'm sure ToB will be appearing on earth before too long.

Ok, men, I've been converted to your Unholy Cult

As soon as I receive ToB (yup, I'm in France, aint'out yet..

) I'll start a game with a dualled Assassin-Mage

.
Still wondering at which Assassin level I should switch : 9-10 is standard, any other idea ?

Kayless · Post by **Kayless** » Mon Jul 16, 2001 6:10 am

Mages will max out at 31st level (7875000 exp). So if you want to reach the maximum level as a wizard you’ll need to dual class at level 9 Assassin (110000 exp). Of course, reaching the cap (8000000 exp) is unlikely unless you’re soloing or going through the game a second time. So if you want higher Assassin/Thief skills you can dual class later. It's entirely a matter of what your personal preference is. Do you see your character as a thief who can cast spells or a mage who can backstab?

i hit the cap pretty easily with my sorcerer. i probably wouldn't have had enough experience points left in the game to go up again anyways, but i hit it.

Kayless,
Is there a significant difference between mage 30th level and 31st ? (certainly no

).
But neither is there mucho difference between Assassin 9 and 10...
Well, I'll see that when in play..
As per your question, I think that it'll change through the game due to the way dual classes work and the leveling up:
First he will be Assassin only...
Then Mage only, before reaching his former Assassin level...
Then he will become a spellcasting Assassin for a time - say till Mage 14th
And last he'll become a Mage with some assassin capabilities - mostly backstab + poison (while Improved Invisible)!
