Faerie Valk

[Ziggurat]

I'm trying a new party with a Faerie Valk. I wouldn't have tried it with original game items but I noticed with Flame's mod it would be much more fun. So far she is holding her own, which is surprising since she still has gossamer robes (+1 armor) at lev 9. The only *special* she has on presently is Vi's new spiked heels (Vi didn't mind the loan!).

I remember finding doll's gloves (earlier than the castle), a certain trident and other faerie equipment in the last game. Are there other newish characters any of you are trying that you wouldn't have before the mod?

Current party in Trynton:
Dracon samurai (falchion and bull's ear sword)
Faerie valkyrie (war clubs or 'Jedi' stun stick)
Human bard (BL and dirk)
Dwarf priest (Patron and shield)

Well, I never really bothered with Lords, Gadgeteers and Ninjas (apart from a FN of course).

For various reasons my parties use these three much more often. Thanks to Flame's mod the Lord and Ninja (Dwarf and Felpurr respectively my favourites) are almost irreplacable because of all the new stuff they can have. Gadgeteers are more useful now, no more carrying them until the last quarter of the game when they become, of course, very good.

Faerie Valk with the super trident does verrrry well.

Also: Is there a special dwarf lord armor? I have a lev 19 dwarf priest and am wondering whether to switch her to lord for some goodies. Didn't see it in last game using FS mod, or maybe it's the weapon drop in Sea Caves? It will be a pity to lose the Patron but maybe Nebdar's amulet will be good enough for magic regen.

One last edit: I am trying to figure out whether the valk or the priest(lord?) will use the Fire Lord's weapon..can't remember the specs. I did build up the valk mace to 62.

If you have Flame's mod yes, the Lord has great armour available for all parts of the body. This is for all Lords (unsure about Faeries!), there isn't any special armour for Dwarf Lords. They have pluses to almost all attributes and magic resistances. That's why I love Lords now. Have you visited the Temple yet (wink, wink)?

The Lava Lord weapon requires 90 STR, 50 Mace and 35 Artefacts skills (from memory). So Lords, Fighters and Valkyries are more likely to have the high enough STR for it.

(Edit: Zig, just re-read your message, sounds as though you already know about the special Lord armours)
