I am thinking about playing this as my first character. Just wanted some feedback while I wait for the patch download to work with that hashcode error.

int should be 12 and pop a +1 tome to start so you get increased skill points

[~Jules921]

It would recommend for your starting character to build either a bard or a rogue, not to multiclass at first. You have a number of character slots available (7 iirc) - create both a rogue and a bard. If you're going to stay with this you may want to boost up your con & wis a bit - both are rather low. The wisdom is used for your spot skill.

A better multiclass option may be a ranger/rogue. Both use Int/dex/wis as the primary stat scores. Bard uses cha as its primary stat. Bard - Rogue - Ranger are all better if you wait until you can unlock drow as you get higher starting stats in dex/int/cha.

Maybe roll up a fighter or cleric run it to drow (400 favor) which can be done in a week or two of steady play - run quests for normal/hard/elite once each or if someone can unlock on elite then just elite. This will max your favor and xp. When drow is unlocked you get an extra slot and can build a drow.
