1. I would like to solo a kensai, BUT how the hell am i supposed to open the most chests in the game without knock or thief abilities :( This is really a pain, since there are a lot of goodies in some chests. I tried to give me the ability to knock, but it exists only as wizard spell :( Then i used Chrom Fayr via SK just for bashing things, but funny when i noticed even with 25 str, i mean cmon this is godly strength, i cannot open some chests in irenicus dungeon. Hmm who knows maybe they are made of adamantine hehe. I could try to give me use any item ability and a lot of knock scrolls, but that would be some serious editing to my kensai... So my question here to you solo experts out there, how do you manage this problem?
2. One word, BLACKRAZOR. Did you ever use this sword? I gave it this time a try with my evil swashbuckler, and man im damn impressed even in tob. This sword is a serious reason to become a fallen paladin or ranger only to have the opportunity to wield it :D I like it even more than cf, sotr or foa. Especially the fear and charm immunity is awesome when you play a solo char. And the ability to drain 4 lvs from a helpless mage rocks [img]smile.gif[/img] Finally the chance of healing 20 points, hasting yourself and increase str makes this sword a nightmare for every opponent, when you use the whirlwind ability. How do you thing about it? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, I usually solo my Kensai until L21 and try and bash traps in.

When I get to L21 I dual to a mage, and cast knock ;)

<font color="gold">1. Bashing have always worked for me. Use your innate ability Draw Upon Holy Might to get a boosted strength, and most of the chests should be forced to open up. ;)

2. The Blackrazor is indeed a poerful sword, by far the most powerful in SoA. Just my humble opinion. [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>
