Imoen and class change

savuti · 04-01-2005, 08:31 PM

Currently going through SOA with tactics installed and will go through Ascension. Set up at the moment is pc (female Cavalier) and Kelsey. i'm intending to bring Imoen along probably out of guilt for not having taken her in the past runs [img]smile.gif[/img]

However, at the same time i'll pick up Sola for his quest challanges, and here's my thing. i don't have the inclination of having multiple spell casters in the party since Sola and Kelsey will take care of that end. What's an effective class to change Imoen to? i'm thinking of Sk'ing her to an archer. Does that make sense? i want her to be able to hold her own in battles. Also when you guys SK to a different class do you guys stay with the default stats? or do a re roll?

Hmm.. I've never tried SKing NPCs from. I think a re-roll would be fine.

As for what to change Imoen to, archer is fine. You could try Swashbuckler as well.

May be conflict with what happens outside Irenicus' dungeon, a ranger will nt be ble to cast mm, i don't ifthat matters for a cutt scene though, but it does use the game engine. Someone more knowledgeble in the mechanics of the game may be better qualified ti advise you.

The game creates another Imoen for the cut-scenes - there are multiple versions of her. Your best bet to make sure you get the right one is to save with her in the party, then load up your savegame in Shadowkeeper and change what you like. I think the game will create a different Imoen for the cut-scene and therefore the MM casting should be ok.

Thanks for the input everyone. Actually i'm way beyond the intro. This class change is in regards to once i pick Imoen up from Spellhold.

Been looking into it and changing her class to a pure Ranger is trickier than i thought because i want her stats to match as if she's started as one. For some reason after i change her proficiencies in SK and saved it it doesn't seem to register in the actual game. That is there's no weapon proficiencies that shows up in the stat page. Hmm

I've found Imoen Uber as a mage. And when I had her and Sola in the party, she got access to lvl 9 spells before he did.

One thing I noticed about changing up NPCs with SK is that if they leave the party and then re-join, all of their stats get reset back to default. I wanted Keldorn to be able to use the FoA as his back-up blunt weapon, so I shifted his longsword * to flail.. Everything was fine until his quest came up and he had to hang out with the Mrs for a while. When I picked him back up his prof. points were back to longsword.. SK'd him again to deal with it. So long as he stayed in the party, the change was permanent.

Hmm never ran across that, that is odd.

And oh by the way i redid it over, this time when i met and picked up Immy from Spellhold i opted to SK her to a Sorcerer which along with Sola and Keldorn - for his powerful dispel - will come in handy when we do our dance of death with Redael and his Eclipse posse
