Staff? Staff? We don't need no stinking staff!! I was thinking of using the Impaler....the upgraded version. It's gotta be the worlds most overpowered ranged weapon and thats before the kensai's +4/+4 bonus! Besides this would make up for the lack of armor and free up about half of the spells slots I would use for things like barkskin and ironskin for things like healing and summons/insect plagues. I was planning on using dual scimitars (druid weapon selection stinks) but after looking at the weapons in the game I realized that there really weren't any particularly powerful ones that druids could use. However, I will take staff also, if for no other reason than to be good with the stick I plan to break over imp. Faldorn's head... What I'm most worried about is the stat roll. I made a druid in BG1 that was dualled from a fighter, lvl 7/8 with Icingdeath, and he owned but he needed 17+ charisma as well as 17 wisdom to dual. Thats a lot of stat points when you consider that the only thing my character won't need is int but I dont want to drop that to base because it ruins saves and lore. I was planning to play through BG1 agian with this char and I rolled...

STR 18/23
DEX 17
CON 18
INT 8
WIS 14
CHA 16
Beggining (89 stat points, high but I've had more)

STR 19
DEX 18
CON 19
INT 9
WIS 17
CHA 17
End BG1 (All tomes give +1 except wis which gets +3)

STR 19
DEX 17 OR 18
CON 19 OR 21
INT 8
WIS 18
CHA 18
End SoA (Second column is evil path, I'm dropping int for dream sequence)

STR 20
DEX 18 OR 19
CON 20 OR 22
INT 9
WIS 19
CHA 19
Finale (All machine bonuses, regeneration...drool)
The character (yes I powergame) looks pretty tough but I had some more questions...
1.) Will choosing an evil path at the end for stat bonuses cause a fall similar to a ranger? I know that druids a supposed to be nuetral but it would make me NE...
2.) Will a druid get a 'Holy Symbol' like a ToB cleric? Not really important but I love every stat point/spell slot I can get...
3.) I'll be using this character in my first run-through of assension and maybe other mods as well. Are there any more chances to upgrade/change my characters' stats that ya'll know of in this/other mods?
