This time in MM9 I am going to do exactly what I am doing right now in MM6 - an all-magic party with no weapon whatsoever (aside from The Morgan in MM6, which looks cool).I have to agree with you - Druid is the best half-character in the game but...
Just as I said, all-magic party, which means no pure malee at all. In this case Druid kind of spoils the big picture for me.
With Druid you have to spread yoursekf too thin:
on the one hand - GM Unarmed, GM Dodge and GM Bodybuilding;
on the other - all his magic skills.
When I play might party next time, I will give him a try...but only as a pure malee fighter, pumping dodge, unarmed and bogybuilding sky-high.
At this point, however, in my magic party, he looks more like half-measures to me... .
None the less, he is an extremely good all-around character.
