I'd like my monk to be resonably powerful not to far into the game without cheatin. I've heard people say you can kill a dragon in one quivering palm hit?.Do they advance fast?.

Also need help with my group. I got this idea:

Me(Monk)
Keldorn
Amomen
Jan


Could I ge hier'Darlis? I don't know how good he is?. Also Nalia seems a little lame. Is she a good mage. And why is she dueled to a thief?. I don't like Jaherie she gets on my nerves and always dies. I'll do the harper stuff and get rid of her.

Monks level up at the same rate as clerics (reasonably fast) but the quivering palm doesn't come in until level 14 or 15, so you will have to wait a while for that. As for Nalia, she is the closest you will find to a "pure" mage in the game. Her thieving skills are just an added bonus.

Hope that helps!

actually, I think Edwin is a better mage than Nalia.

Edwin get +2 spells for each level cause that amulet he wears. Give him ring of wizardry and acuity and he's a god. Staff of magi and cloak of non detection too. He's also cool. Nalia's a bit stuck up, Bit like my ex. What about Hier'Darlis then?,whats he like in SOA?.

Warby

Actually, I've never used Edwin, so I wouldn't know. I don't really care for evil characters, so I generally stick to neutrals and goods. It's quite possible he is better, but I wouldn't know.

I don't really like Haer'Dalis because his hit points are very low and the only thing that he is good at is fighting. Also,

You have to do this great big quest for him, including freeing him from a mage in the temple sewers, and going to a diffrent plane that is VERY difficult to beat.

I've done the Hier'Darlis quest about 5 times now. Got it sorted. Its not to hard. You get the death spell to.

I thought Hier'Darlis was a bard?.

Warby

the toughie in that quest was the air elementals and the demon attacking at once. I had to use up all of my rod of resurrection for that battle.

he is, but he is some kind of bard kit ( blade something I think)
