Yes, my little "problem" is back. I'm getting bored again [img]smile.gif[/img] I need an interesting character idea; something that isn't used often, but is fun to play (doesn't have to be powerful, as long as it can solo the game). This character will start in BGI, however (higher rolls, and better for rp). I want something like a Kensai specializing in throwing daggers or darts (I know, it's very powerful...that's just the kind of idea I want. I prefer finesse to power).

I'd like an idea that includes a class capable of using Flesh to Stone, however. I love decorating Amn :D It isn't necessary, just prefered.

Then make a Kensai and Dual Class him into a Mage at level 15 in SoA. You will be a good range attacker with Darts/Daggers and you can still turn a human into a statue. :D I am so evil...

It is a Kensai/Mage! What are you thinking?! I prefer finesse to power, not the other way around!

ADD-That avatar looks great [img]smile.gif[/img] All the good ones have a high post requirement :(

Gee sorry! I was just trying to help... :(

Aww, poor Xen. Will you ever forgive me? [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

No problem, I just wanted something a little bit more...unusual.

That doesn't help me, though.

If you want finesse, the only option is some combination of proficencies/items/classes involving the Assassin kit. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=deepskyblue>I once created a PnP dwarven fighter named Dirk that was specialized in the dagger. He was a lot of fun to play.

A straight dwarven fighter with Grand Mastery in dagger is something you don't see everyday. You could do ranged attacks or melee', depending on the dagger(s) you chose...and your dwarven Constitution (along with the fighter hp's) would enable you to withstand a lot of damage.

But that might be more power and less finesse.

If it's style and finesse you crave, how about a halfling thief (LE) for BG1. Then convert him to an assassin for BG2. It would make good roleplaying sense for him to specialize in the dagger (or dart), and when he gets his first HLA, you take the ever-popular <font color=white>Use Any Item</font> and purchase some scrolls of <font color=yellow>Flesh to Stone</font>.

Or - better yet - have someone craft a <font color=lime>Wand of Medusa</font> for you that does the Flesh to Stone without the scrolls.</font>

That wand would be great. Instant Feng Shui. Who could make it, though?

The Assassin would be nice. I love the class, and I like daggers, as well. Which would be better, dual weilding short swords and daggers, or single-daggers?

I don't want a halfling, though. Humans looks so much better in Shadow scale :D

How hard would soloing an Assassin be, through ToB, on Core? Tactics mod installed.
