Kensai needs company...Sola?

[Annatar]

I'm currently soloing a Kensai/Mage (13/21), and I'm thinking about taking Solaufein with me... just for some back-up and company because Queor is bored with his self... he needs a compagnion that has the same skill and expertise like him.

Solaufein is my answer.... but

What equipment for him... if he is to join my godly Kensai?

These quest are finished:
- Kangaxx
- Guarded Compound
- Red Dragon
- Liches in/beneath Athkalta
- Slavers
- Fallen Paladins
- Kidnappers
- D'Arnise Hold
- She-Lich at the Docks (Tact.)
- Illusionist at the Docks (Tact.)
- Kuriosan, The Acid Kensai (Tact.) (he was hard! On Insane...damn}
- Anguilliians

Currently at the Underdark... just enterd the damn place..

I have these mods installed:
- Tactics
- EoU
- Sola
- Kelsey
- Valen
- Imp. Items (WeiDU and Forgotten Wars)

I wander what you guys come up with... I can't recall the profincies Sola has but... long swords was one of them, correct?

Final question, I have heard about Tsuki No Ken (Moonblade) that Sola eventually gets... when and how? And is it Romance related (because I know Sola his quests are pretty much romance related... and I don't think Sola is gay [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] )(don't spoil to much plz)

This is it... I guess..

Thx in advance... I would really like to get your opinion about Sola and what to give this rebel drow.

Actually, Sola isnt all that picky between women and men [img]smile.gif[/img]

The usual Fighter/Mage stuff, you know... Vecna (or Improved Robe of X Archmagi if you save Vecna for yourself), Power (or the Lillith Amulet if you save Power for yourself), Helm of Balduran, Boots of Speed, yada... i'll discuss weapons below.

Flails, Long Swords, Two Weapon Style. Ergo, Ages + something.

I'm guessing you chose Katanas for yourself (the typical Kensage choice), so you're using Fury + Sanchuu. If not, give Sola Sanchuu in the off hand, but keep Ages in the main hand.

Final question, I have heard about Tsuki No Ken (Moonblade) that Sola eventually gets... when and how? And is it Romance related (because I know Sola his quests are pretty much romance related... and I don't think Sola is gay [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] )(don't spoil to much plz)

Sola's romance features 3 tactical encounters, and 1 reward (2, actually, but you only get one). The Moonblade is one of the rewards - the other is Moonray, who is even more powerful if you bother to do the math. You'll get one of the rewards about 75% through the romance.

Like Daan mentioned... Sola is, well... less picky than your average BG2 romance. But hey, after living in the Drow society for so long... one needs every piece of love he can get.

Im getting quite interested in what exactly makes these weapons so incredibly powerfull ... anyone care to post stats on both ? [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

Hear, hear! I might like to give the Moonray a piece of my mind as well.

Tsuki no Ken gets upgraded at 3.5 million xp. I'm not sure how powerful the second version is, as Weimer downgraded it, but here were it's stats:

Tsuki no Ken +5
Damage: 1d8 +5 (Long Sword)
Equipped Abilites: Chaotic Commands, Death Ward, Armor of Faith, Draw upon Holy Might, Free action, Luck, 1 extra attack (I could've sworn that there were more, but I can't remember at the moment. Note that Free Action, Chaotic Commands and Death Ward are kind of pointless, with Sola's great MR)
Combat Abilities: 50% chance to blind the opponent (without save or MR check) and do 18 fire damage over 3 seconds due to Lunar Brilliance

Moonray: I haven't gotten it, but what I think it does is the following:

20d6 damage to opponents
Blinds opponents
heals 20d6 damage to allies
Dispels hostile illusions
2 extra spells per level

There's probably more to it than that, but that's all that I could remember.

You know, the sad thing is.....that's pretty much what I'd expected.

Note to Weimer: The Multiclassed Fighter/Mage is inherently an extremely powerful class. Combine this with Solaufein's excellent stats (whether BioWare or Weimerized) and the standard Drow MR, and you have yourself a godly character. There is no need to give Sola better MR than any Monk or Wizard Slayer, and certainly no need to give him these hideously broken items. People will still use Solaufein anyway, don't you worry about that.

SixofSpades, the Moonray is an ability, but Tsuki no Ken is the weapon.

[SixOfSpades]

Effects like "a combined Abi-Dalzims/Mass Cure/Nature's Beauty/True Sight all at the same time" do sound more like an ability than a weapon, but what about the "2 extra spells per level?"

Really, this does seriously sound like a weapon that Weimer would make for Solaufein. (Weimer would then defend the weapon as *not* being overpowered, since it can only be used by Solaufein.)

[Rataxes]

The +2 Spells/Lvl thing is just an additional separate bonus ability you get with the Moonray. It's either the Moonblade or the Moonray + Bonus spells.
