Pros and Cons of certain classes

Post by GREEN SPHERE »

Hey guys,

well as the topic says, i need to know the gamers opinion on the pros and cons of these classes (NOTE:i said "the gamers opinion" because im tired of hearing some 350 pound guy munching a donut at some stupid strategy guide company writing the pros and cons:rolleyes :)

if wouldnt be that much of a pain to you, well can you give me the pros and cons of: the monk, the swashbuckler and all of the paladin kits

thanks g'day 2 all

Well you pretty much see the pros and the cons in the kit and class description.
The Monk is like a fighter except that they fight best with their bare hands. They have great speed and high magic resistance towards the end of the game. They also have stealth and find traps. Stealth is very handy indeed and so is the high magic resistance. Their ac also lowers every second level so that it is quite low towards the end. Their only problem is that they lack the hp's of a normal fighter and can be vulnerable to heavy melee.
The swashbuckler is a very fun class to play. In the beginning their thac0 will be a problem but as they level up and het better equipment they hit hard only not so often. Ofcourse they have supreme thieving skills but no backstab.
All the paladin kits are better than the pure paladin imo. Inquisitor is really handy, especially if you don't have a magic heavy party and do a lot of buffing. Cavalier is immune to the most annoying effect in the game, fear. Which is very handy.
Undead hunter, well the name says it all.
The inquisitor has the biggest drawback in that they can't turn undead or cast spells but then they also have the biggest benefit in their dispel magic and true sight.
To really learn their respective pros and cons why don't you play them.
You can't handle the truth!
