Thinking of playing a F/M/T

krunchyfrogg · 04-23-2005, 10:34 AM

Is this a decent character in BGI? I know in BGII, they're pretty good, because there's just so much experience to be had in the game. But, with the lower levels of BGI, I just want to know if having 3 classes is worth it or not.

I plan on playing with a full party.

If you solo or duo it's OK. Any larger party and you will be REALLY pissed at how long it takes to level up.

the main problem with a F/M/T with a party is the EXP, with 6 people he's only getting 1/6 of the exp of kills/quest/story/etc then you split that into 3 (receiving only 1/18th of all exp per class) so that for creatures like gibberlings (35xp IIRC) you get 2xp per class (or less) per monster, going in a full party you'll never level up (drop other party members when you are about to get quest rewards if you still want a full party)

Hey, that's a good idea. I ended up going with a F/M/C, and I'll drop some members when I'll be getting quest rewards.

Heck. I tried a little powergaming, and killed that Elf in the prologue (the one you bring an Identify scroll to) and didn't even go up a level!
