I restarted the game now. So my hero is a swordwielding mage now. And something occurred to me: if I fight with a one-handed weapon and a shield, does it make a difference if I boost my one-handed style or my one-handed with shield style? Will only the latter actually do something for me?
Also, my DK gets to be the ranged supporter this time. (This means mainly all the supportive skills - Alchemy, Identify, Trapdetecting, Pickpocket, Arrow-Converting etc. - with anything left over in bow or crossbow skills - once I've decided which I want, that is.) So, which are better? Bows or crossbows?
