Originally posted by Rataxes: True. What weapons are you planning to use? I went for Long Swords and Katanas myself. Blade of Roses and Dak'kon's Zerth Blade is a good and fairly cheap combo early on. Later on I reckon I'll be swinging Fulcrum and Crom Faeyr.

I went a different route. Took Long Swords and Daggers for Jon-Bon's Chateau (dual wielding two enchanted weapon on the 1st dungeon is vastly non-trivial!). Once i'm out, i'll get 11K just from selling all the loot (+ Circus) - which is enough to buy a recharged Wand of Cloudkill. Then, i'm heading off to fetch Harmony (which has "No Reloads!" written all over it). Back to Athkatla - with a few Webs, Cloudkills and Meteors i'll take down Dennis. Boomerang (ranged weapon with STR bonus!) + Harmony and Web + Cloudkill and backstabs from the Staff of Striking will serve me well through most of Chapter 2. I'm also planning to take on the Fighter/Illusionist early - he falls easily to traps (since you can lay them downstairs and attract him), and he carries a Ring of Regeneration + Ring of Protection +2 - aka, Ring of Preservation +2.

Fulcrum / Ages + Crom or something will probably be my final setup. I'll do the Ages +5 vs. Fulcrum math someday. [img]smile.gif[/img]

We'll see how it goes, but that's the plan for now.
