<font color=gold>Just a little nitpick: strength 5=-1 to damage, un-enchanted dagger damage d4, max damage 3, but im sure you already new this, oh magnificent god of numbers *bows* :D .

edit: my point = a mage with 5 strenght cant kill a goblin with an unenchanted dagger</font>

He can - in 2 (or even more [img]smile.gif[/img] ) stabs [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] Hey, thats a level-UP!

Clay golems require an enchanted blunt weapon (ie +0 magical weapon or better, as long as it is magical)

The Staff of Rhynn would qualify for killing golems (all types, as well as Mr demilich) and would fit your rp idea better as it's a suitable practice weapon for a kensai (think of it as a kendo stick)

true, though as Jim posted, "on a single poke". taking note of a possible critical, the maximum damage dealt would be 6. and since a mage can only be proficient in the weapons he can use, he/she will not get any bonuses on that account,(add) thus not being able to kill the goblin with 7 hit points in a single hit, no matter how hard he tries :( :D

Did you take the speed of wind into account, Raistlin? [img]smile.gif[/img]

As for the staffs - I chose katanas, and have spent *** in dual-wield, ***** in katanas itself. Using staff now would make a Noober outta my kensai. And it does not go well with MY opinian on how would a kensai fight [img]smile.gif[/img]

lol, of course i noted the possible wind speed! what kind of a person do you think i am ?! :D

whatever makes you happy [img]smile.gif[/img] . i would think though that the kensai, even though called the SWORD saint, would use a staff if it would save his life. if not, i think he would start running pretty fast after noticing that his swords arent doing squat.

He would for sure use a weapon he is skilled with most. And he would use it in the way he is skilled at most. Any possibilities to dual-wield a staff? And the warhammer I am thinking of is perfectly dual-wieldable [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW, anybody soloed a staff kensai?

Whoops. My bad. Thanks for the nitpick. I must be off form today :( . I'll slyly change that value to 6 STR then for that last post :D .

This isn't strictly true...If the Goblin is using a bow (which, in Irenicus' Dungeon is quite common) the attacking character will recieve a +4 damage bonus. This means that even if the mage miraculously had a STR of 1, the goblin can still potentially be slain in a since poke of an unenchanted dagger :D

I did once. He wielded the Staff of the Ram +6. <font size = 25>BAM!!</font> Figured he could hit for 55 damage on a regular hit (a cool 110 critical) :D . Here's the proof ;)

<font color=gold>Alright, alright, you got me there...though you didnt specifically say that it was a goblin with a bow, and since the majority of the goblins in irenicuses dungeon(and the rest of the game world, since they always appear in groups of two archers and four axemen(the axe effect [img]smile.gif[/img] ) use axes, i would have had to assume that you meant one of the melee fighters. HAH, damn im good [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img] </font>
