In the spirit of Artemis Entreri, I would love to suggest dual wielding...but Thieves can't put 3 points in dual wielding, or enough points in the weapon of choice to nullify the offhand penalties incurred by less than 3pts dual wielding. On the plus side, with dual wield you could have Neb's Nasty Cutter or Pixie Prick and Demarchess, a devilish combination.

If you are feeling pragmatic since you are soloing, I would say single weapon, long swords. If you are feeling positively RPish, I would say dual wield some kind of sword with dagger.

Dual-wielded daggers it is.

I must roleplay!

Would dual wielding the SSoM and the DotS be viable, though? Somebody (Moosey?) mentioned that I wouldn't have a decent ApR with them...I think.

I'm thinking of switching to a Mage/Thief. Nice spells, Mislead, buffs...sweet [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you are going to dual-wield a thief and don't feel that thieves should be limited to only two stars in two-weapon fighting, download the rogue re-balancing mod. I'm using it with my assassin with no problems so far.

I guess if all you wanted were two-weapon fighting, though, you could assign 3 stars through SK and not even bother with the mod?

What does the mod change, and where can I obtain it?

Pyrenk · 08-18-2003, 05:56 PM

Damn game. I want to be a Fighter, Druid, Priest of Talos, Assassin, and Mage at the same time. ARGH!

You can find many good mods on Weimer's site: http://weidu.org/weidumods.html (sorry, don't know how to do linked text yet). Specific to the Rogue ReBalancing mod, go here: http://www.gamesector.co.yu/avenger/ It has a good description, so I won't list it all here unless needed.

Can you be an Assassin --> Druid? That would be a wierd one. You grew up in Candlekeep being taught the fine art of dispatching your enemy in one motion. One day you left the comforts of the keep on a mission in the deep forest. You returned more in tune with nature and it's ravaging forces than you could have ever imagined... (or something like that).

Druids can only dual to a fighter IIRC and you need very good stats to do so.

They aren't hard to get, though. Especially with BGI
