ive been wanting to make a party made entirely of either multi class or duel class PCs (im thinking its like throwing fifteen class abilities all into five or six pc's) so just throw a few cool combos at me!

here are a few o mine

1. assassin mage
2. barbarian cleric

If shher power is your ticket,
god knows its mine,

the finest dual class, kensai anything is not going to get to the truely obscene levels of sheer viciousness as the true multi class. sure, they do level much slower than the dual, but at the top level, imagine a fighter mage with multiple freater whirlwinds, and the quest level superspells!

got aerie up to 17 lev mage and 19 level cleric, soon she can chain contingency implosions!!!

Theres the All powerful Kensai/mage
The versatile Ranger/cleric
The Kensai/thief is also very good
Mage/cleric (dual class) is the best spell caster ever (if you dual class so cleric is 1 more level than mage at finish)
I have a Berserker/Druid which is pretty fun

those are my suggestions....

Whats that B/D like?

dark_ranger, you can't dual or multiclass a barbarian...it sux...Berserker duals really well, you could dual to cleric like Sigurd or Druid like Meerlight.

Also duals with Swashbuckler can be neat.

A tree hugger that loses their senses and chops down trees in a batte rage, then feels bad about it?

In my opinion the most powerful dual classes are:

Kensei/Swashbuckler level 15 dual into SB to get 10 prof...that means two grandmasters. i would choose CF and something else. you get massive defense using the k and sb abilities plus the use any item feat.

and the

wizard slayer/thief as stated in the strategy section.

Kensai/swashbuckler isnt possibe... For Power alone Kensai/thief probabkly will be the strongest. I prefer my berzerker/cleric though, a great solo class which i will soon try out, soloing SoA and ToB with Baldurdash patches(as if that is even possible)

LMFAO! Of course he would then go and plant some trees in an effort to readdress the balance..... Unfortunately he would spend the entire game time hacking down trees and planting others, it isn't going to help his XP but it might improve deforistation

B/D is pretty cool. Some of his favorite tactics are:

Casting Natures Beauty then chopping up the blinded foes.

Dual wielding Spectral Brand and Belm!

Ironskining and attacking. (very good)

Using ALL armor. (unlike Kensai/Mage)

Those are just some things he can do...

Kensai/Thief 20/32 or 21/31 (fighter's TACH0 maxes out at lv21 and kensai gets +2 TACH0 bonus instead of +1 at lv21)

Thief will have 775 points at lv31 (compare to the assassin who will have 600 at lv40).

Use All Item ability lets thief use white dragon scale so that they can hide/backstab while wearing it.

Also lv20 kensai has -5 TACH0, +6 Damage and -4 speed factor bonus, making backstab always successful. And if you hide in shadow you get +4 TACH0 bonus!

Some cheesy combos:
Kai + backstab/Assassination
Critical Strike + backstab (if kensai is lv21)

An assassin/mage isn't going to be that powerful. The assassin's true power comes later with the x7 backstab. If you dual before, you might as well just go for an ordinary theif... or better still, the Swashbuckler/mage.

At what level do assassins get x6 and x7 backstab. Also someone has previously mentioned in another thread x9 backstab for assassin in TOB, are they right, is this indeed possible and if so at what level do you get the improved abilities?

If you want to backstab and still want a dual class Thief/Mage I'd still recommend the Assassin/Mage. Dual at level 10. You'll be able to get a 100 % in both Hide in Shadows and Move Silently (no need to memorize Invisbility all the time), three Poison Weapon per day, a x 4 multiplier and finally faster working poison. The Assassin/Mage isn't bad at all, in fact. Try a Tenser's every now and then before going into stealth.

Well assasin/mages do offer some interesting possibilities. Poisoned Melf's Minute Meteors and Energy Blades (guess assasin/cleric can do this one).
