I've heard a fair bit about soloing as one class or another.. Frankly I can't imagine myself making it through BG with only one or two areas of expertise. For me, it's usually got to have a balance.. that you can't just have mages and clerics, or you can't just have fighters.. The easier and better solution would be partnering.. There is still the challenge of making it through thr game without load of NPCs, but you have a better balance. My next game will be a Monk, Sorceror partnership... (if your wondering how this is possible, you just start a multi game on your own w/ two created characters... then save. Go to you BG directory and move the multiplayer saved game file to the Single Player Saved Game Folder, Open BG and voila, instant single player with multiple created characters)
Veterans of the game still might like the added challenge of soloing but for the average play-when-I-can player, partnering is a much better choice.. Any suggestions?

Synthos, looks at
Carsomyr +5...: Man I love this sword!

Sorcerer and Fighter/Thief would be my suggestion, it would give you a tank which could also find and remove traps.

A partnership? Hmmmm... ...

Multi-classed Fighter/Thief and a Sorcerer. Both Elves, and male female respectively.

Gah! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif

Yeah, true.. But I really want to see a monk at level 21 early on in the game.. (I'll probably use the exp cap remover if i hit the bar line too early)

Note: Monk at level 21 has 63(!) magic resistance, add Sword of Balduran, Ring of Gaxx, and Taligun's Amulet of Magic Resistance.. and you have 93% magic resistance!!! Beat tha Kangaxx!

*Kangaxx laughs and imprisons the cocky monk* http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Magic Resistance do crap againt Imprisonment.

Monks can find traps, but not remove them (as far as i know.. Why do they even have that ability if they can't remove traps?) Fighter/Theif is a good idea, swashbuckler is pretty good melee too..
So i think for irenicus' dungeon i may 'borrow' imoen for trap finding. Just until I get to the surface.

Really? I wouldn't thought 93 would stop imprisonment, or does magic resistance not apply to imprisonment? Spell description says nothing about that...

Kangaxx uses a "super" version of Imprisonment I believe.

Imprisonment ignores Magic Resistance, Maze on the other hand, is affected by Magic Resistance.

Poo, oh well.. There are other ways to deal with Kangaxx.. but 93% magic resistance is alot.. meaning pratically any spellcaster is useless.. And if the exp cap remover is used than the magic resistance could go ABOVE 100... Anyways.. I think partnering is kinda cool, and will definetly be my next game...

The only difference between Kangaxx's Imprisonment and normal Imprisonment, is that Kangaxx's Imprisonment is a ranged attack. Normal Imprisonment is meant to be a touch attack.

Here is a link to a list of level 9 spell desciptions. Imprisonment is a level 9 spell, while Maze is a level 8 spell.

Yeah, I'll take a look at that, thanks...


Btw according to shadow keeper (SPOLER!)

Kangaxx has only 8 imprisonments, is this true? Or does he gain more when he turns demi-lich?

Synthos, I think that your characters are limited to 65 magic resistance. At least my paladin couldn't get higher than that, although when you added all the bonuses it was 85 or something.

Only 8? I highly doubt so, I believe it is unlimited. Even if it is not, it is definately far more than 8.

Well, i'm just reading off shadow keeper, kangaxx's innate imprisonments say 8, although they're probably unlimited like you said..

What really cheeses me off is that Monks have a Find and REMOVE traps ability... it's like that even when you set the abilities.. find and remove traps, but in the game, a monk can only find the traps (as far as I know) and there is no way for him to remove the traps because he doesn't have the theiving ability.. This is retarded.. Is it fixed in ToB or is it the same?
