Let him/her dual wield. They have the ambidexterity feat and two weapon fighting for free at the beginning of the game.

I know i should dual wield but i don't know which class to multi :(

Try sorcerer (or wizard). A sorcerer with good hitpoints and two weapon fighting is a great addition to the party.

Personally I went with a fighter multiclass. Then again, I've already got four other spellcasters in my party ;)

Sorcerer would be a good choice, kind of like the Fighter/Mage from 2nd edition. That kind of ranger can be very powerfull. (Think Stoneskin ;) )

Edit: Of course, a Ranger/Druid would make a very good character as well... And would make sense characterwise.

So i can try human then,and what about other classes to multi a wizard like Paladin of Mystra
?

Keep in mind that a paladin must be lawful good.

And I don't think a paladin/ranger makes sense. You'd better go for a plain ranger or paladin. Unless of course you badly need the pally's turning ability.

It depends on which role your Ranger is gonna play. If he is gonna arch a lot, have a race with Dex boosting.

For dex, the following races are good.
Tiefling (+2 Dexyou also get a +2 to hide)
Elves (+2 Dex, martial proficiency Bows)
Drow (would be good for a Archer/Sorcerer or Wizard multiclass.)
Wildelves (penalty is in the INT region, instead of in CON, which makes it easier for him to melee if possible.)
Deep gnome (+2 DEX and WIS. (for ranger spells))
Strongheart Halfling (Not only +2 dex, but also +2 move silently, +1 Savings,+1 to hit with ranged weapons and a bonus feat at first level)

Heh sorry for misunderstanding my englih sux :(

Uytuun:I meant Paladin of Mystra + Wizard or Ranger + Wizard?,IMO Paladin + Fighter is better than Paladin+Wiz so that's why i think that i must multi someone to wizard,my group has only 1 magician(sorc).Anyway thanks for advices i've made a ranger + fighter :)

RANGERS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!, in all games Neverwinter,d&d, icewind dale2 II.
I always multiclass my ranger like this:

Ranger X, Fighter 7, Rogue 4

In IWD2 this abilities:

STR:15 +2
DEX:18 +4
CON:14 +2
WIS:10 +0
INT:8 -1
CHA:10 +0

And all the next points in STR.

Try this one:
Half Orc Ranger
STR 20 DEX 18 CON 18 INT 1 WIS 16 CHA 1

Very good Ranger, but he musn't talk for your party

Mmmh, the real powergaming stuff. I hope this ranger will never meet a Mindflayer...

I prefer some more Roleplaying aspects. A ranger with such low Int probably won't recognize friends from foes. And with such Charisma even his beloved animal friends of the forest will spit in his face. A ranger condemned by nature, cool role! :D ;)

Ah but Master, roleplaying a character with an INT score of 1 shouldn't be that hard for you :evil: :grin:

And Uytuun, I think the reason why someone would take a level of paladin on top of rangerlevels would be for the Savingthrows boost (+4) rather than the turning ability.

A ranger with high int and cha has to sacrifice str,dex,and wis, the key abilities for rangers in D&D 3ed

I always liked ranger/rogue. Makes rogues sneak attack better and they both seem to be prowler types...

3E evil rangers are so much better than 2E namby pamby rangers.

Chaotic evil ranger/rogue Tiefling = nasty girl/boy and lots of fun...

Thats very cool :cool: , but I make my ranger human, some lvls in rogue and 4 lvl of Fighter (for the wepon specialization).

MoN;
I don't see the reason why my ranger wouldn't meet a mindflayer. I think he will divide that mindflayer in two.
And I do not roleplay in IWD2. I am simply a combat strategist while playing this game.

Well, the problem is, that mindflayers have this nasty habit of draining intelligence. If they suck your brains down to an INT score of zero, you're dead. Having an INT of 1 will make you a quick snack (though low on calories) for an Ithilid.

Combat Strategies aren't limited to offense, defensive strategies are just as, if not more, important to achieve victory.

How about a Ranger 1/Barbarian x/Fighter 4-Halforc
STR:20 DEX:18 CON:18 WIS:10 INT:4 CHA:4

I know they suck brain but his WIS is 16 whcih gives him +3 on will saves. I think this will make it a bit harder to suck his brain out.
BTW, barbarian's INT score can not be lower than 3; if lowered below 3, it is still considered 3. (In-game-description)
