I've noticed that many of you suggest shwashbucklers in question for classes.So why do you.Enlghiten me pleaseeeeeeee!!!

Paddy!!!(mind my spelling.)

I think the swashbuckler is the best thief class (others may prefer assassins). The swashbuckler kit are the most capable fighters. However, they will never be as capable a fighter as a monk, ranger, fighter, barbarian, or (drum roll) paladin even with the bonuses. I think swashbuckler is an excellent class to dual to a mage after getting the open lock, disarm skills you need.

*sigh*Pay atention:mad::nono::mad::nono::mad::nono::nono:.I want reasons.For example:
(1)beacause they get this and that.
Understand!!!

I have already written some things about Swashbucklers in your other post "Soloing with a fighter" but let's examine it again.

A swashbuckler is practically a fighter/thief in one class. He gains:

- +1 AC upon creation
- +1 AC every 5 lvls
- +1 to hit, +1 to dmg every 5 lvls
- Can specialize in any weapon a thief can use.

He loses:

- Backstab multiplier

That's a big problem. First and foremost swashbuckler was meant to be frontliner, but his Hp just can't support it. So go with an
Assasin, use a girdle of Giant Strength and see Backstab dmg >200hp.

[EDIT] I gave you reasons why to prefer an Assasin and try Baldur's Gate II & ToB Class FAQ (http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/index.htm) if you want class info. It will help you.

Padine, instead of Having a go at Kull, just read the Manual. It says what they get this and that in there. :nono:
