Berserker Druid

[Lewzbel]

Anyone try this dual class combo? I dualed my berserker at level 13, and I'm still waiting to reach level 14 as a druid to see how it feels with all abilities available. I'm thinking it should be cool. I gave him 3 slots in dual wielding, and 3 slots in daggers, so I'll have a dual dagger wielding druid. I like a little challenge, and I like some of the side effects the various daggers have, if they ever actually work. Another challenge I gave myself was a low constitution so I'd have high enough abilities to be able to dual class this way. My total hit points are a pathetic 66! Ouch. So this is the first character to actually use the constitution belt and the potions from time to time.

My ultimate character though would be a druid/magic user. Anyone know the reasoning on why you can't do that? You can be a priest/magic-user, why not a druid?

Ouch i right. If ur able to go solo like this i salute u!!!!!!

[Lewzbel]

That's the beauty of soloing. You can do it with anybody, you just have to figure out the best way to use the tools at hand.

Because of the 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules, which the game is shaped by. It says that Druids can only dual to a Fighter, and vice versa. Barbarians, Sorcerers, Monks and Paladins can't dual at all.
If you don't like this rule, I suggest you get IWD2 or NWN, which both uses the 3rd Ed. AD&D-rules. This will allow every class to dual to whichever class they want, as long as they have a high enough score on the other class' main ability roll.

Dont you need like 6,000,000 XP to get there? Seems to me you're already playing through the entire game then.

You need a million 5 to get to level 14 as a druid. When you factor in the 1,250,000 or so you need to get to level 13 as a berserker, I'll be pretty much maxed out for SOA by the time that happens. But I still haven't left to go get Imoen. I'm doing all the stuff I can to have both classes active before I go. Hopefully they'll do ToB for the mac eventually, but I'm not holding my breath.

You forgot PoR:RoMD! (Pools of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor)

D*Ranged, Sir E was talking about *games* not jumbled assortments of code.

Edit: I'm gettin' Dundee and Sir E confused?

I know, I was talking about games with 3rd rule. PoR:RoMD is one sir E forgot to mention.

[True_Moose]

I know. I was referring to PoR:RoMD as a *jumble of code.*

I was highly disappointed by that one, to say the least.
