The notorius Kensai/mage!

[Tyrion]

Ok, here's the thing...I was thinking of making a human kensai/mage who I intend taking through SoA and ToB.

On which level do I swich class most effectively?

Which weapons are recommended?

Wich party members? (I plan on romancing Aerie)

I seek answers! (please)

13 if your going to TOB, 9 if it`s only for SOA are the generally recomended ones [img]smile.gif[/img]

Based on SoA:

Probably level 9 dual-class, that way you can still get to level 17 as a mage. Some people prefer level 13 because of the extra bonuses the kensai gets then (dont ask me what they are).

Weapons: Probably best to dual-wield Dakkon's Zerth blade with another Katana of your choice (probably gonna be the Celestial Fury)

Party(suggestion): You, Keldorn, Anomen (if you can put up with him, if not then go with Minsc. You have Aerie as a Cleric too), Aerie, Jahiera, Jan

Jahiera has those lovely fire elementals, and is a fairly good fighter, and a nice spellcaster as well.

EDIT] I do find her annoying, when it gets really bad, save the game...
Then stand there and throw things at her (you know, minute meteors, knives, fireballs, chairs, tables... whatever you can find (and lift)) Then, when she dies, just re-load, She wont remember a thing!

Stress gone. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Only go as far as level 13 if you have ToB installed, but waiting until level 13 will grant your Kensai a +4 bonus to THAC0 (which is pretty poor at level 9), an additional +1 to hit, +1 to damage and -1 to weapon speed from the kensai bonuses, an additional weapon proficiency and the all important extra 1/2 attack per round from level 13.

I wonder why people forget about Cernd as a druid. He'll have better spell casting abilities over Jaheria since he's a pure druid, and the ability to change into a greater werewolf is awesome since it rips anything apart and has a rock bottom AC........

Yea Cernd is pretty good. He is gonna be a member of my next party/game.

Cernd has a really high THACO or He'd actually be in my party as the Medic

Yes, but can Cernd cast spells and fight at the same time?
