I once solo'ed a Mage/cleric
Now i like spells, and believe me, this character has a LOT of them,
great fun !!! Especially because a cleric can cast so many
protection-spells (death-ward, prot. from electricity/fire/cold etc. etc. etc.) that spelltrap's and spellturnings werent needed anymore.
And ever unleashed a spell-trigger with Greater-malison, spook, doom ?

Sort of SPOILER!


Well...ever been able to unleash enough timestops to kill jon irenicus before he touches you? I practically never miss with my dual swords...it gets boring after a while playing with this character.

kensai/mage
level 42

F. Gottwald 01-13-2002 08:48 PM

a things i had fun with:

solo kensai with stats edited to 9 str and 3 in all others... boy was that game hard! (getting out of irenicus´ dungeon almsot caused me to hurl my computer out of the window)

gnome cleric/thief, minsc, valygar, nalia, yoshimo/imoen, jan: backstab haven... it´s quite helpful if the whole party can hide in shadows

solo sorceror: armies of magical critters whenever you need them... poor firkraag was hopelessly outmatched and i didn´t even remove the experience cap

most fun character to play imo is a ranger dualled to cleric... good choice of tactics, great casting ability but no overpowered recycle capbility (project image), instantly-kill-anything(sequencers) or game-breaking items (staff of the magi)

Barloc 01-13-2002 09:43 PM

most fun for me -

Paladin - me
Minsc
Jaheira
Anomen - yea yea i know
Jan
Nalia

Solo is most the fun...

Soloing for now a Half-Elf Fighter/Mage/Thief [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Most Fun Party(tm) is any party containing both Jan AND Haer'daelis.... the fur flies on a regular basis....

Glorfindel 01-14-2002 05:58 PM

Does Jan have a go at Hae'Dalis worse than he goes at Keldorn???? IVe neva had The Bard and Jan in the Same party.... is it funny??

Servii 01-16-2002 09:47 AM

Kensai 15th level, dualed to a thief!!!

Zoltan 02-03-2002 10:09 AM

is it possible to beat the game with a pure mage?

Why not. Nothing is impossible.

I'm soloing now with lvl 20 Sorceror (in Bg2+ToB) and it is much funnier than with 6 member party.

Zoltan 02-03-2002 11:52 AM

I was thinking about trying solo mage, but how do you open locks and disarm traps? and crowded monsters?

Ezekial 02-03-2002 05:49 PM

Funniest party for me:

Me (Skald)
Vic
Edwin
Korgan
Jan
Minsc, then Kelsorn, Valygar, etc..Loadsa in-party complications!...(finally thingie in ToB)

Solo..I like Swashbucklers, skalds or mages..just can't see alot of the others being solo characters *shrugs*

Use knock to open stuff, and just have to soak up the damage on traps (you get lots of healing potions, plus, if you are hasted, you can outrun a good number of trap effects). Alternately, start out as a swashbuckler, then dual-class to mage. This allows you to have better weapon skill, get good lockpicking and trap abilities, and still be able to cast like crazy.

Open locks with knock and cast a stoneskin. It takes the damage on it self and your character dosent suffer much damage. So do I do it.

Nifft the Nimble 02-04-2002 04:24 PM

Fun Party:

Haer'Dalis
Aerie
Jaheira
Jan
Keldorn
Minsc

Oops, no room for you. Oh well.

I'm playing as a lvl 8 thief dualed to a mage. I put over 100 points in open locks and find traps when I created my thief and dualed to as soon as BG2 started. By the time I was out of Irenicus' dungeon i was lvl 9 mage, went around and did some easy, mostly non-fighting quests and now I'm at level 15 after only a few quests.

Zoltan 02-05-2002 05:40 AM

I think the most crazy and funny thing to go for soloing should be,

- a solo sorceror

- a cleric/mage
