[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8762361, member: 7030563"] Not me. I don't want to go back to those days and I think dual wielding daggers works ok, but you are one middling roll away from going down (and remember you can't cast shield while holding 2 daggers). I think a melee wizard fits well narratively in a world with magic. That is how it was in 1E though. Barbarians got the best dex and constitution bonuses, better than any other class. Then fighters, Rangers, Paladins and Cavaliers got the 2nd tier Constitution bonuses and everyone else got crap constitution bonuses. Also those classes got better strength bonuses than other classes too. Other than Barbarians everyone in 1E did have the same dexterity bonus, although the character creation rules garunteed Rangers, Fighters and Paladins rolled at least a minimum score (15 I think) which is higher than the minimum 9 dexterity a Thief would roll. Also Cavaliers and Paladins increased Strength, Dexterity and Constitution with every level. [/QUOTE]
