Well I thought that I´d just make up my own little thread here...putting in some tips and quite possibly some spoilers too...though they´ll be minor!

For starters I´d like to just describe my character for the purpose of illuminating MY tips.

Fighter/Mage lvl. 13/16 with grand mastery in staff and katana!
The reason for using slots in katana become obvious when I describe the sweetest item for a fighter/mage in the game...the Dak´kon´s Zerth blade wich can be bought from Deidre at the adeventurers Mart.

Dak'kon's Zerth Blade +2
This sword was the weapon of choice of the famous githzerai Dak'kon. Dak'kon was killed by a powerful entity while working for a creature known as the 'Nameless One'.

STATISTICS:

I mean come on...Xtra 1st, 2nd, 3rd AND 4th LVL spells I LIKE IT!!

My profiency slots in staff is a matter of som business between me and the twisted rune involving a staff that I´d like to get my finger on...HæHæHæ
The Staff of Magi is a MUST...and NOW I run into a little problem....wich weapon IS the best...???

Staff of the Magi
This type of staff is thoroughly linked of the image of the spellcasting profession, rare though it is. It is among the most powerful tools that a wizard can possess, the culmination of complex enchantment and endless study. This particular example is good in melee, grants Invisibility, and offers protection from Charms and Evil. It can also cast a Spell Trap, launch a Fireball-Lighting Bolt combination, and Dispel Magic. The quintessential mage item.

I´ve never used the Fireball-Lightning thing...but the Invisibility and Immunity to Charm SURE does have some hmmm...charm *LOL*

But since we´re talking about tips here I´d better get down to business...

After I got my arse whipped in Akthakla by four wampires...they mugged me in the street

...I decided that it would be a great idea if I always carried some spells!

Protection from undead

Restoration

Do not leave home without...unless Ur immune to lvl.Drain...that leads me to my question...There´s got to be some items in game wich gives me immunity to lvl.drain...I think amulet of power is one of them....are there others?

Feel free to post some tips of Your own in here...but lets keep them general in the game so we don´t end up with 40 different ways to kill Kangaxx
