Yes, the title says it all!

Someone give me a race/class combo to play through SoA (possibly ToB).
Archers will be exluded (just played through as one).


The purpose of this post:

1) I stared at the character creation screen for an hour and couldn't make a decision.
2) I'm curious what you guys come up with.
3) I'm lazy.

I really enjoyed playing with a Swashbuckler. I am currently playing with a party of two: a Kensai/Thief and a Kensai/Mage, but the game is so easy now that it's actually not a lot of fun anymore.

Monk. Solo as a monk if you want a completely different style of play.

If you do, get the special gauntlets at the Saughin City.

How about an extremely charismatic Half-Elven Bard? Max CHA at creation, then equip CHA-enhancing items and frequently throw the spell Friends. Smile your way through the game, and when it doesn't work, use Charm, Dominate and similiar enchantment spells to get your enemies to kill each other in your defence.

Or a Diviner perhaps? Make a mission out of learning everything there is to know about this game! Have your wizard detect traps before your thief gets there, let him spot your enemies before your scout does, and have him plan the battles in advance, using his superior knowledge to lay out all facts beforehand for the rest of the party. Your poor enemies will cry.

Or maybe, after all, a Dwarven Bounty Hunter, a master of nasty traps and deadly backstabs? Trap entire dungeons and lure your enemies right into oblivion, a silent short sword and a sturdy X-Bow taking care of the few survivors.

Solo bounty hunter using daggers and backstabs

Wild Mage, for some unpredictability and some good laughs.
