First time playing the game and haven't gone too far. I am in level two of the catacombs below Aleroth.

I am playing a Mage character. However, I am finding the going a bit tough and am starting to long for a Warrior-type that can sustain some damage without dying after three hits (some of those undead swarms in the catacombs are brutal)!

So, my question:

Is it possible to take my mage character and make him a decent fighter by leveling up his STRENGTH and AGILITY along with some Warrior class skills? Or would it be better to just start over with a true Warrior?

Don't get me wrong...I like the Mage spells and everything, just don't like dying every five minutes!

Thanks for your input...
