Magic & Loss
Lol, thanks for all the suggestions, Dte! This won't be my first Wizardry 8 trial, per se' (I vaguely remember a swamp and a volcanic-ee area with rapax from my best attempt 4 or 5 years ago). And I chiefly want a "fun" playthrough - not terribly concerned with min-maxing - mostly just being able to use/see most of what the game has to offer, whether that be items or big bada boom spell effects.
Your ranger recommendation is an interesting one, especially in replacing my alchemy requirements with his/her abilities. Am I right in my belief that manually searching with other professions leaves you open to surprise attacks?
The only game version I have is 1.2.4, so the latest one. Is pick-pocketing completely defunct then? Howso? Is it basically impossible to get a successful skill check? Or do NPCs no longer carry anything of value? Truth be told, the more I consider it, I'll likely make a rogue regardless; I'd like to resurrect a feisty hobbit D&D PnP lass.
In the same vein as that rogue, the samurai is mostly for roleplay. I mean, how many other games have samurai! !!?
So, if I were to take the valk as the third in the front line, that would leave bishop + ranger + either gadgeteer, bard, or another mage class as the final 6th. Hmm.
