What are the different strongholds for the different classes? Also, what is the most profitable stronghold? I was also wondering what the monk stronghold was.

All a paladin gats is a room? That sucks. Anyway, I am a thief and got Mae'Vars guildhouse. I just barely got ambushed by some Night Knives and am waiting for my 5 days to be up.

i like the fighter stronghold (the de'Arnise Hold) and the mage/sorcerer stronghold (Planar Sphere) the best. The fighter one looks really cool i think but i like the mage one too. Im pretty sure the cleric stronghold is like a temple in the temple district...but im not sure.

Clerics get a temple in the temple district yes.

The Fighter stronghold was ok, although it was cool to own something as big as a keep in the beginning. The quests are a bit ordinary and the final fight with Roenall was a disappointing. The Mage and Bard strongholds were more fun.

Yeah, clerics get a temple as a stronghold. I agree that the fighter stronghold is cool, although it might inflate your fighters ego too much(I am the KING). The paladin stronghold IS lame, Fighter get their own keep, wizards a huge timetraveling device, thieves their own secret guild, and me...knight of goodnes....a dingy room and a chest for my stuff...geez...

The Bard Stronghold is the Theatre under the Five Flagons Inn...you get it once you complete Haer Dalis' quest in the Planar Prison.

It's actually one of the more enjoyable strongholds...you get to produce a stageplay, complete with making casting decisions, resolving actor conflicts, removing a "curse" from the play, and even acting in it yourself (well, your character does.) And, like in the entertainment industry, you can make megabucks with it.

Just a little summary of the strongholds here:

Fighter/Barbarian/Monk: De'Arnisse (Nalia's) Keep
Paladin: Membership and a room in the most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart
Ranger: The Ranger cabin in the Umar Hills
Cleric: Membership in the church of the god they serve (Helm, Lathander, Talos)
Mage/Sorcerer: The Planar Sphere
Thief: Mae'Var's Guild
Bard: Theatre in the basement of the Five Flagons Inn

And that's the strongholds.

IMO, the best stronghold is the Fighter/Barbarian/Monk's. You get a whole Keep for yourself, and money per week. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The most entertaining one is probably the Bard's one. Lots of funny things here. [img]smile.gif[/img]

When Ia rrived in Brynnlaw it said (your thieves have retunred) I was scard out of my mind, Joster would coem soon and I would loose my guild, but fourtunaetly the Strongholds are put on hold in Brynnlaw and the Underdark -YAY!!
