I don't know if it's only me but I have such a hard time imagining a Berserker/Thief.

Well here I go... careful now... sloooowly making my way... looking out for those skillfully hidden traps... there it is... silently picking up my tools... starting to disarm it, damn this is a tricky one... finally got it!... blasted, ennemies approching... I'll hide in there, blending into the shadows... there they are, no chance of seeing me in here... almost passed, only two more and I'm outta here... NO! What's happening? Not now! I can't control myself, I'm going berserk! AARRGH, GONNA KIIIILLL YOUUU AAALL!!!

Actually, I think it sounds kinda stupid (no offense, my friend). Just like the Berserker/Mage. A Kensai/Mage makes much more sense IMHO, despite the Kensai's supposed dislike for magic. At least they are both very disciplined... A Berserker/Sorceror I could understand, though.

A bezeker/wildmage is a logical combination

which u would never get, even with SK. u can edit chars that u dual-class to a specialized (e.g. to wildmage), but then u become just normal in ur original class (plain fighter). i made a thief/wild that way, would b even cooler with swash/wild tho

but a bezerker/thief has some advantages over a Kensai/Thief.
kai is very handy for backstabbing, but so is enrage.
and the fact that a Kensai can't where armor is great if u dual it in a mage, but as a thief u have notthing with this (dis)advantage.
as a bezerker u can backstab and ware armor and use the enrage to get great immunities.

Indeed. So it all comes down to if you want to roleplay or powerplay. Of course, you could have a different opinion RPG-wise as well, I just gave my point of view.

currently running tashia mod myslef, and its seriously great...she is such an interesting gal compared to others...

if you decide to run bun bun ver 3, remove using sk finmel01 from neck slot....

that item is a min hp1 item, so you cant be killed...subtracts something from playing...

@Astafas: come on, you have the blood of bhall inside, after all!

You can train to such arts to contain that rage itself, maybe..
I played with a berserker/mage and felt quite comfortable with
that....

With a little imagination you can find a fitting story for every kind of character!
(even Bruce's dwarven kensai, why not? Maybe the name could be changed, but...)
I've read in another post something like:
"duals are odd, 'cause if you have a high INT you'd start immediatly as a mage".
Well, maybe, but this is not necessary!
Take Sarevok for instance!

What I would do is this...

Take NPC's in a single player session and just do everything completely backwards. Instead of doing the classic "Lawful Good" scenario, go with an Evil/Nuetral alignment if you havent already.

Pick up Anomen, have him fail his Test making him go into Chaotic Nuetral alignment (If you do the Romance, lemme just say that chicks did bad boys!) He'll get more of an aggressive attitude, but he'll shut up a little bit more than before.

In the Under Dark, go on and stab Pheare in the back by revealing her to the Matron Mother. Hard fights, but still a lot of fun!

Go on, kill Drizzt, Catti Brie, Bruenor, Regis, Wulfgar and that stupid cat, Guenhwyvar! I know you want to!

Oh come on, joining up with Bodhi isn't as bad as those walkthroughs make it out to be! Siding with her wouldn't be *that* bad...

Dump Nalia's Keep. Who cares about a bunch of snobby Nobles, anyways? Let the trolls eat em all, I say!

Well, if you haven't walked this path already, go on and try! I know I'd like too...To bad all the good charactors are of Good alignment. Nuts....

I created a minotaur with SK. Slow movement big strenth, gave him a halberd. I also have a really cool portrait for him (actually the portrait inspired me to make a minotaur).

Don't forget to summon a pit fiend in the Paladin stronghold in the Temple district. Or to accept Hendak's plea for help in the Copper Coronet, and then tell Lehtiman(sp?) about the slaves' plans.
