Hi all, the name's Cheapy (it means NOTHING I swear).

And I just wanted to share a little "tip".

In the early game, when you don't have the spell Breach yet, just get Jahiera to cast Barkskin on the pesky wizards who use Stoneskin. Barkskin over writes Stoneskin, so they loose some AC, and become vurnable.

I don't know if that was mentioned before but oh well (Was that a spoiler? All the boards I've been too have different spoiler harshness.)

Ey eternal... you from Holland 2?... Just A test:
''Alles goed ofniet? ik dacht dat de hollanders hierso waren uitgestorven ensow :D
maja zal wel weer engels praten anders krijg ik admins over me heen :S''

just nice to see some other people of my origin [img]smile.gif[/img]

Eternal 01-17-2003 02:21 PM

ja lekker lekker..... hollanders zijn tog uitgestorven [img]redface.gif[/img]
heh loop hier pas een weekie rond ,,,,dacht dat ik de enige was ,,,,,

by the way i personally think the stone to barkskin tactic is sorta cheap.
its about the same as using the magic recistance spell to overwrite firkraags magic resistance, this pulling it down like woah

just my humble opinion tho.

gone

Oh, and nice trick! Gotta try that one some time. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Hi

cool trick, i dont think its cheap cause the way i look at it is
Stone skin just 5 measly hits
Barkskin defense that lasts longer than 5 hits *wink*

So really they are getting a better deal hehe
lol just my thoughts

Zerephel 01-17-2003 05:15 PM

Ya, it was a bad aiming of barksin. I tried to cast it on Kolar (my main character) but I clicked on the stoneskinned wiz. Back in the new days of BG2...

The way I see it, is that the barkskin overwrites the stoneskin. Sure, they still have an AC bonus over what they had pre-stoneskin, but not as much, AND you can hurt them.

Pyrenk 01-17-2003 10:07 PM

If I was a wizard, Id much rather have stone over bark (Unless of course the bark caster is maxed level).

Cheapy 01-17-2003 10:11 PM

No no, YOU cast it on the enemy wizard, if they have Stoneskin on. Barkskin overwrites Stoneskin, and vice versa.
