okay, as I made mention in the Drow Proving Grounds posts:

- crossbow specialist build
- pure gnomish sorcerer build

what would be my best options for each? equipment is (relatively) easy in terms of what to use (powerful mage staff for the sorcerer so far, light drow crossbow for the specialist), so I am not that worried in that respect. still, with the chaotic evil gnome, I managed to finally put the Belt Of The Evil to good use (figuratively speaking). I was hoping to go pure sorcerer just to see if there are any other items for sorcerers (or gnomes) to pick up. I know as a fact, however, I will also need to make a revised build with sorcerer/rogue for the gnome to maximize his spellcasting ability via scrolls. (clerics can't use druid scrolls as far as I know.)

oh, and has anyone attempted a halfling monk build yet? or come to think of it a half-orc monk build? I think I have one on the go now... no, that's the dwarf lawful-evil evil monk with the Imaskari Kama and the Suni gloves. my mistake. (not turning out too well, but I still have another 30 levels to see what I can do with her.)

one last thing: how the heck DO I use that Death Attack that assassins are supposed to get? I create a character with assassin levels, and I have yet to see her deliver one of those death attacks. I go to the Trollbark Dungeons and everyone AND their mother (yes, I checked) delivers death attacks on a semiregular basis. It is frustrating. I may never play with assassin levels again at this rate. At least not for THIS module. Blackguard still looks cool to me, though.
