UO Second Age

I'm taking offers, let me know if you're interested by posting here or via PM.

Personally, I would hire a Fighter if you are just starting out. You will gain faster from 25 (trained of a dummy or purchased) on a Fighter over a Pally. The Fighter will gain skill with you, allowing you to GM swords off of them. I started with a fighter from 25 a few days ago, and was able to GM...

Is hiring a paladin the best way to GM swordmanship?
I have a character who can heal me while my mage hits the hireling.
How much should it take to reach 90?
