I haven`t played any good "projects" lately so i need a new one.(Sorcerer comes to mind :D )

Solo Beastmaster perhaps?(On Insane/Tactics/Battels/Ascenison)?

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-06-2003 03:46 PM

hey xen, since u know everything about bg2 [img]tongue.gif[/img] u should be able to do something harder than that. How about a Barbarian and your allowed to take one NPC! Or if thats to easy for u then just make it solo barb. Although im not sure that is actually possible. Oh and u have to play Ironman mode and when u click ed on stats u have to take the first ones that come but you are allowed to rearange them! What do you think about that?

Solo Barbarian looks promising,but that Beastmaster still looks good.

ADD]The idea about stats is really good! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

HEY! I`ve already played a NR game! Well it could be done but NO! It would be too much frustration! Solo Beastmaster VS. Improved SoA Final Boos&CO? Yeah right!

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-06-2003 03:58 PM

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-06-2003 04:22 PM

u mean u didnt consider being a half-orc for the 19 srength and constitution [img]graemlins/doh.gif[/img] Have u started playing with him yet?

Indemaijinj 10-06-2003 04:26 PM

What about a bare-chested barbarian.

Conan didn't run around in chainmail, didn't he? The true barbarian does not need to dress himself in big bulky armor, he can take the pain.


Simply, a solo barbarian that refuses to wear anything in the body slot. It should be easy to find a cheesy portrait to suit him.

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-06-2003 04:30 PM

u know if ur a barb u can get low ac without armour anyway. But i think u should be allowed to wear rings, gauntlets etc. To lower ur ac aswell as other things

But then again, I am much less experienced in BG2 than you are, so I would think that you can do it.

he can just get the ring of human infkuence in the circus tent at the start!

Link 10-07-2003 05:20 AM

My thoughts exactly [img]smile.gif[/img] But that will take up one ring slot, so he should choose carefully what ring he wants on the other hand.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Harkoliar 10-07-2003 08:29 AM

well he can try and get the nymph cloak but i think he may need the cloak of cheese for that [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Link 10-07-2003 09:02 AM

Xen will ritually burn the Cloak of Cheese.. wouldn't ya Xen? Hey! Xen! Give that Cloak back to the Sahuagin! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Harkoliar 10-07-2003 09:08 AM

well i dare (well ask anyhow) xen not to do it without the cloak of cheese :D

Link 10-07-2003 09:11 AM

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] He will take the challenge, I think. After all he was looking for a hard time :D

Harkoliar 10-07-2003 09:39 AM

methinks he will be having tear's and frustration but oh well.. just keep the cloak of cheese when all else fails xen! :D gudluk!

Too Hot 10-07-2003 11:53 AM

if your goin to use the ring of influence in one hand why not use the ring of Gaxx in the other but ull have a very hard time gettin it

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-07-2003 12:00 PM

Too Hot u couldve put a spoiler tag, and dont worry, he knows what the ring of G is and how to get it. But about ring of Human Influence, he doesnt have to wear it all the time. Just when talking to people (which i suppose is quite a lot of the time, but if he needs to quickly change for a battle then he can just pause and change, unless hes playing Ironman Mode like i old him to!

Zuvio 10-07-2003 04:33 PM

<font color=lightgreen>
On Insane/Tactics/Battles/Solo and all that, this character has 0% chance of completing SoA+ToB....

And if anyone wants to convince me otherwise, record the entire run-through for me to re-watch... Only cheat allowed is a bag of holding at the start.

Nerull 10-08-2003 12:10 AM

If you want to get a real challenge, then actually roleplay your stats. :D No wise comments, and only give the "stupid" responses. Also, limit your tactics to more "straight ahead" (i.e. charge in) tactics.

How about this for another challenge: solo sorcerer with the following spell selections

1: armor, friends, infravision, reflected image, sleep
2: deafness, ghoul touch, know alignment, luck, power word sleep
3: clairvoyance, hold undead, non-detection, protection from cold, protection from fire
4: contagion, enchanted weapon, farsight, Otiluke's resilient sphere, remove curse
5: conjure lesser air elemental, conjure lesser fire elemental, conjure lesser earth elemental, protection from acid, protection from electricity
6: carrion summons, conjure air elemental, conjure earth elemental, conjure fire elemental, stone to flesh, wyvern call
7: cacofiend, control undead, mass invisibility, prismatic spray, sphere of chaos
8: maze, power word blind, summon fiend, symbol death, symbol fear, symbol stun
9: energy drain, freedom, gate, imprisonment, power word kill

Just a suggestion! :D

Harkoliar 10-08-2003 02:53 AM

he wont survive chapter two! i mean summoning all kind of elementals is nice to look at but terrible in battle [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Link 10-08-2003 07:04 AM

Well they could at least give you *some* time to run away :rolleyes:

Raistlin Majere 10-08-2003 09:27 AM

the bigger elementals are actually quite effective in combat for a while, but get useless while in the underdark...

Nerull 10-09-2003 12:25 AM

But seriously, with a wisdom and charisma that low on your main character, you should challenge yourself more with the roleplaying than anything else. If you really play the low wisdom and charisma, it would make the game harder.

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-09-2003 05:27 AM

id say its already hard enough!!
