I’m on my second time through IWD (no HOW - yet) and have included a Fighter/Druid in my party for variety and to enjoy the new experience. So far I’ve reached level 6/7, I am in the Dragons Eye and I am not greatly impressed. Let’s hope things get better once the really cool spells become available.

A few comments and questions on my Druid experience :-

I haven’t found a decent weapon for my druid yet, I know there is a nice Scimitar later in the game and Arundel has a nice staff, but generally there is not much to chose from if a magical weapon is needed.

When level 3 spells became available there wasn’t anything worth using and that’s the first time that that’s ever happened to me when new spells become available. Those 3rd level spells are really bad, but I am determined to use Call Lightning at some point in the game even if it means waiting until I get back to Easthaven.

I have just got the shape-shifting ability but so far I can’t decide if this is useful. What sort of tactic can I use that takes advantage of this without getting well and truly beaten-up?

Any advice would be welcome, thanks.
