I am starting a new game, but I dont know whom I shall be!
I know I shall be a spellcaster, but here you have to help me decide.
Shall I control a priest, a monk or a druid!? Mail in your opinions, and I shall pick out the one that sound coolest!

What we do in life, echoes in eternity

I don't think monks have any spellcasting ability.

If you have ToB be a wild mage, though I'm a bit partial.

But if you want to be in the priest category, I'd take a cleric and keep Jah as your druid, or if you want to be a Druid, I'd take Vic as your cleric.

Start as a Totemic druid, the best kit of druid!

Where there are monsters and barbarians there will be Byronas fighting against them.

If you want a spellcaster, why don't you try a mage? Especially a conjurer one (alright, he can't learn identify, so what?). A sorcerer is good as well, though his spells are very limited.

I don't see how a conjuror can be better than a wild mage. A wild mage is a specialist with no oppositional school and extra spells (Nahal's Reckless Dweomer). Sure you run the odd chance of something random happening, but it's pretty rare, and usually pretty cool...

Furthermore, didn't they fully implement the opposition schools for the Conjuror in BG2? They're supposed to lose more than just divination. I can't play one in good conscience and use spells that I'm technically not supposed to use.

but that's my 2 cents...

Try being a Sorcerer there alot of fun http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/aniGif.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/aniGif.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/aniGif.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/aniGif.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/aniGif.gif

Yeah, I recommend Sorcerers as well. It`s such a relief to get rid of the memorizing spells bit. My Sorcerer is like a walking flamethrower. She will run up to enemies and WOOSH!, hit them with a couple of Burning Hands... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

That said, I haven`t tried a Wild Mage yet.

Clerics are cool

The Elven highpriest of Seldarine.

Emerald High Priest of ALSB

Aerie is a :littleangel:

I really like blades. They are ok spellcasters but you can use offensive spin and get in some serious damage if you have too.

yeah, the sorcerers are pretty cool too...assuming that you pick the right spells.

now, if there was a wild sorcerer...THAT would be something. It would kinda make sense too. The sorcerers are not some intellectual bookworms, they cast on instinct, it would make sense for something odd to happen now and again, no?

Yea and by the way Sorcerer's are "HALF-GOD" http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif just wanted to let you know http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/xomunch.gif

I agree with Byronas. I love my Totemic Druid!!!

my personel choice is to choose a beserker, tone your fighting skills and then dual class into a mage. you cant go wrong best of both worlds. the ultimate fighting/spellcasting machine.............

Clerics would be more fun if there weren't so many in the game already. My favorite kind of Druid is the Avenger (probably because I like Mage spells), but Totemic Druids are also great: they get bonus summons for their class power and the summons are pretty good (in the early game).

If you're going to play a Cleric play a Priest of Helm and take Jahera with you (as companion and mate).


In my experience a Monk is just another fighter: an interestingly twisted fighter, but still just a fighter. If you want to play another fighter, go for it, but it's nothing like a Cleric or Druid.
