Put clearly, my assassin (now level 10, exactly at what level I re-trained my knight into assassin) hits once for as much damage as my knight did with 2 hits.

You might also want to spend more stat points in vitality. You're on your own. Remember, level 4 is the first real tough level. After that, it only gets worse. :(

> I think you should definitely retrain either a Knight or the Rogue as a Sorcerer or a Wizard. As it stands now, you've got 4 fighting classes and only 3 spots to put them, so one of them's stuck in the 4th position (or behind) and has to use long-range weapons. You might as well have extra spellcasting power and keep the ability to use a long-range weapon from that spot.

I've been thinking of training one of the lesser-experienced Knights as a Sorcerer. But which one? The Rock Elf or the Troll? Which would make a better Sorcerer?

Update to the situation: The levels are now as follows:

Human Wizard: level 11

Human Knight: level 11

Wind Elf Rogue: level 11

Rock Elf Knight: level 9

Troll Knight: level 8

Wind Elf Sorcerer: level 9
