I need you to pick class for me...

I played cleric, bard, ranger, monk, paladin - I feel like playing some druid, bard or paladin.... at least some caster class...

Is this for NWN 1 or 2? Bards are a lot better in 2.

Out of those listed, I would pick Bard with a dash of Paladin for Divine Might (and later, Epic Divine Might - assuming NWN2). Bard's are pretty decent characters to play in most settings.

Paladin must be lawful, and bard must not be lawful... unfortunately... It's for nwn1.

In which case (and if alignment changes are an issue) I would probably go with Paladin, unless Druid and Shifter appeal to you as a more caster-orientated choice.

At the end of the day though, you do what you want - no one can tell you what you should play.

Well, I was thinking paladin/sorcerer multiclass....

To focus on what - melee or casting?

Well, bit of both, but mostly fighting....

I would avoid trying to be a "gish" with those class combinations, you will end up disadvantaged at both. It's probably a better idea to focus on one or the other and if melee is your focus then Sorcerer has no place there. If casting was your focus, then Paladin is a great "dip" class to use with Sorcerer though.

If you want a Gish-type build, Clerics are naturals at this and Bards are pretty good as well (again, much better in NWN 2 though).

EDIT: Perhaps a Paladin with Cleric dip would be a better suit to your needs? That would allow Divine Might/Shield and would be melee focused.

Nah... I will just choose bard with bit of rogue skills or rogue spells...

Sounds good - hope you have fun!

I know this is a bit of an older post so you've probably already started your game, but one reason to go with druid is I know there are some quests only available to druids in NWN1.
