Well, I've played 6 parties up to around level 6 or 7, and I'm thinking about restarting again. I just can't help myself. They've all been almost the same party - all human, with ninja, samurai, ranger, priest, bard and psionic. First time I had a monk instead of a samurai. Last time I replaced my front line with a rogue and a fighter, which were much more powerful. But somehow they just don't seem as cool. Perhaps it's just me, but I'd rather be a cool ■■■■■ than a tough dork [img]smile.gif[/img]
What bothers me is the weapon and armour restrictions on ninjas and samurai. Are there good ninja usable swords (particularly offhand) in the game? My samurai seems to be able to use anything, but the ninja can only use japanese weapons. So far I've seen katanas, wakazishi, naginata, nunchukas and nodachi, in both enchanted and vanilla flavours. I kind of assume that dual weilding swords would be best, but has anyone tried the 2 handers like the nodachi or the naginata on a ninja? Is there any offhand usable sword other than the wakazishi?
Which brings us to armour. The only samurai armour I've seen so far is the chest piece in the monastery. Is there lots more? The ninja is worse off, as he's still in the pajamas he was wearing when we crashed. Are there Gleaming Shadowy Vorpal Ubersilk Jimjams of Dastardly Buttkicking Vampiric Comfiness or something lying around in someone's bottom drawer?
I guess I want to have my cake and beat Higardi with it too [img]smile.gif[/img]
Any advice would be welcome.
