#1: I have specifically created a fighter/ranger/mage with two goals in mind (the mage to be able to use wands - also got the cloaktower quest - and the ranger for the free 2-weap and ambi feats). I am human 5F/1R/1M so am not suffering any xp penalties. I am aiming for a dual-wield fighter and I sacrificed a little on Con to get higher Dex so I can use leather armor. Currently, I am using heavy with single weapon, but it's still early on. I would like to have Marrok make me the "Leather Whitebone Armor" (unless it's no good, maybe someone can enlighten me there). According to his book, I need a gargoyle skull (got it) and a suit of armor of total AC 3. I have a suit of studded leather +1 (Base AC3 with +1 armor AC) but this isn't doing it. What am I missing? The armor is in my inventory and not equiped or in a magic bag, as is the skull.

#2: I'm carrying around about 5 fire beetle bellies. They aren't taking up much space as they are in a bag or box too. Is there a use for these later on? Will I need a few of them or will just one suffice? Naturally, one would think armor, along the lines of ankheg. Nobody will pay more than 1 buck for them.

#3: and how about those skeleton knuckles?

Thanks.

1. The total AC have to be 3, so you'll have to buy a leather armor +1 instead. I've tried to make this armour with one of my characters and I found out that the Leather Whitebone Armor is a medium armor and not a light one. In your case it'll mean that you'll loose the dual-wielding benefits from the ranger class.

2&3. These items have various uses in the game which will become clear when you need to use them. Keep a few of each kind just in case, but sell the rest. You can always buy or find new ones if the need would arise.

Thanks Stratos. So the AC total must much exactly. Won't help though if it is medium armor.
