i have owned bgII for a little bit of time now, and have been unhappy with every character that i have created. i think my party will consist of keldorn, minsc/korgan, imoen/yoshimo and aerie (for the romance). all i have to do now is create a pc. i want one that can fight and cast spells
fighter/mage-seems obvious but how powerful of spells and how good of THAC0 do they realy have (too weak?)
kensi at 9 to mage- would you even utilive the kensi, or would this just be like a straight mage? what about dualing at say 12,13, or 14?
blade- not to many pc bards. for a good reason?
stalker- i know it doesnt cast spells but it seems kind of cool. is it really that good? i have not found any good studded leather besides on valgyr,so is he better than a pc?
any advice in creating the character would be welcome. thanks

Kensai is used cos if you not patch you can use robes
the Multi class is cool make sure you have ToB
Blade has wicked AC but can only get 6 lvl spels
Stalkers only get 3 mage spells

I would have to recommend blade. Really cool class, maybe not easy to begin with but once you learn how to use him you will be very powerful. Ofcourse haer'dalis is a blade but since he was not in your party...
