The most fun I ever had riding horses in Oblivion was creating a 100 point Fortify Speed spell and casting it on my horse. They scale differently with speed, making them go hilariously fast

there is Neera, but i dunno if i want to put up with the wild surges.

Unless you cast Nahal's Reckless Dweomer, wild surges aren't very common, and you should be quicksaving frequently anyway. Chaos Shield will protect you from the worst surges. There's also a wild surge that drops a cow on the target of the spell, that alone is a good enough reason for me to like wild mages.

dualing into Thief is also considered pretty deadly, since they get the High Level Ability Use Any Item, which completely negates the no armor drawback.

The Kenthief dual is a lethal backstabber, and not wearing armor isn't a major drawback in BG2 because you can just cast Spirit Armor or Barkskin on them instead.

I have never finished the series. But Kensai seem cool. They are a subclass under Fighter. Basically samurai. You do a lot of damage but can't wear armor

IIRC the Kensai had some anti-magic/mage stuff in its kit, right? I remember one of those fighter subclasses was pretty vulnerable right out the gate but properly geared could quickly become a wrecking ball in standup fights harder than a regular fighter while basically eating enemy spellcasters for breakfast due to the kit. Despite initial vulnerabilities by the late game you're fucking unstoppable.

I might be thinking of a different fighter subclass. It's been a while.

You might be thinking of the monk

one of these days though i think i'm gonna do a human Priest of Lathander dualed into Fighter. should end up pretty beastly with Boon of Lathander on top of all of the Grandmastery bonuses and such.

It's kind of a wonky dual-class, because you only get an extra casting of Boon every 10 levels. Level 11 would give you 2 uses per day lasting a turn plus a round, but then you're limited in your usefulness as a Cleric. Getting 5 APR along with casting Righteous Magic to get 25 Strength and deal max damage on every hit is pretty sweet, but you'll only be able to get 2 turns of that before having to rest. I'd rather just go with a fighter/cleric multi for all the extra HLAs, grab the Staff of The Ram and use Greater Whirlwind

btw, Elf is a decent choice for Fighter/Mage, but Gnomes are really much better because you can roll a max of 19 on their Int instead of 18, and Gnomes automatically get to spec as an Illusionist, even as a multiclass, instead of the base Mage class. that means that, as a specialist mage, they get to memorize an extra spell per spell level compared to a base Mage, and get bonuses to spells from the Illusion tree. the tradeoff is that they can't memorize spells of the opposite school, which for Illusion is Necromancy. not a big loss there.

the 19 Int will give you a better lore modifier and will enable you to write more than 18 spells per spell level to your mage spellbook. and Gnomes being a short race get the shorty saving throw bonus. Gnome Fighter/Illusionists really are a powerhouse.

19 Int isn't really that great, you can just use potions of Genius for scribing spells, it's about the only real use for them, and being able to learn more than 18 spells per spell level is completely useless when anybody who knows what they're doing won't ever memorize most of them.

yeah, that's obviously the least useful benefit of going Gnome Fighter/Illusionist, but literally everything else about it is great.

Actually, in the Enhanced Edition, Illusionists also have to give up the Abjuration school, which is a really big deal in BG2. No Breach, almost no protective spells, almost nothing to strip enemy mages of their protective spells. A fighter/mage that can't cast Protection From Magical Weapons is no bueno. If you don't have the EE, then you don't have this problem

And on top of all that, you have to play ad a Gnome.

Sorry but GNOpe

When it first starts out, you'll say to yourself "Maybe they're short and a little eccentric, but they look like fun, right?" Next, you'll find yourself tinkering with everything in sight. Eventually, it will be too late for you as you start whoring yourself out for turnips.

Gnomes. Not even once.

I ended up going with a chaotic good Elf Fighter/Mage.

My fighting style will be dual-wielding and I have proficiency in scimitars.

Long swords would have been a slightly better choice, because elves get a +1 THAC0 bonus with them, but you can get a nice +3 scimitar from pickpocketing a certain famous hero you run into fighting a bunch of Gnolls. You may want to put a point or two into katanas once you get to BG2 for Dak'kon's Zerth Blade in the off-hand for some extra spell slots, but Belm is also a pretty good scimitar for your off-hand.

I've worked in other places where taking an extra smoke break like that would get people fired.
