i take the skills that i think are the most important, or stronget. when i get the skill points i distibute those evenly. then i will get stronger in everything. for weapons, i mostly use a one-handed sword with a shield.
a 2 handed sword is also pretty good. in the begining of the game i use a bow for the strong characters. i don't really like to use magic unless it is needed. i like to bash the enemies' head in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
