I'm getting ready to start playing
tonight and was wondering what
templets are good and which are
just a waste of time. Ty

In DF you can do what you like. No "templates" - you want to do magic, you do magic. You want to do melee, you do melee. You want to do archery, you do archery. And you can mix those three main disciplines as you see fit.

archery

2h
and lesser magic

As far as i know theres no soft cap so it doesn't realy matter.

I'd go with 1h sword + shield
2h sword
lesser magic (mana missile, mana to stamina and launch)
and archery.

Thank you all, these are great suggestions.
Please keep them coming because I haven't been able to play.
I'm still waiting on my new Graphics card and now
my PC has lost all power. Good thing I saved the Dinosaur :D .
I changed the power supply and that's not it :D ... Fun times ;) ...

this is essentially the most accessible way to be "effective" and therefore the most bandwagon.
