I have no fucking clue what I'm doing in this game so I'm going to start again. I need some starting tips pls.

What build should I go for? In my first game I tried a Druid Avenger because turning into a salamander sounded funny. But I'm not even sure how I should be using the character because any damaging spells are only onces a day so they're basically useless. Also I have no idea what level I get to shapeshift or what weapon I should have chosen.

Anyway, how the hell do you play this game and what character build should I roll?

EDIT: Thank you for the well-thought-out and in-depth answers. I appreciate it!

Joke answer because the tips I see all say more than I could:

Let Boo go for the eyes.

(Also you can cheat in an "arrow of slaying" or whatever they are called - sorry it's been 20 years - but it's a nice "get out of jail free" card if the game is really giving you a hard time. It's okay to just say "fuck this" and not have to deal with an encounter so you can get back to having fun.)
