After last week's debacle for a certain halfling cleric I find myself prepping for a replacement character for if (read as when) he runs our of luck. I've been looking at the mangus and its alternate the black blade as possible replacements. If the combat that we were involved in when we had to stop doesn't go well I'll be looking at bringing a new character at level 6.
For those of you who have played this character class, what advice can you offer as far as strengths and weaknesses. As I read it is seems to be well balanced, but does it play as well as it seems to? Any advice would be appreciated..
