Hard but not impossible. SoA is easy,even on Insane. Now ToB and Ascension is another thing.

Beholders can`t be backstabbed either. And so does the grr continues...

Yes, but you can use a certain cloak against them, can you not?

Gangrell · 08-18-2003, 05:08 PM

That cloak still doesn't prevent Imprisonment, bah [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm currently playing an assassin in BG2. I had planned to have him dual-wield Celestial Fury and Sanchodooku(sp?), but I found that I liked the Stiletto of Demarchess (from the Planar Air Prison) and it's ability to HOLD a target very much. Also, Torgal's Claw (from Tactics Mod) is very nice. It won't prevent attacks from your opponent, but it can weaken them to the point that they can't follow you..so you back out of melee and fill them full of arrows.

So - even though I had a couple of nice short swords - I ended up dualing these daggers more than my swords.

And if you're still wanting to be unique, how about an elven assassin?

Pyrenk · 08-18-2003, 05:11 PM

I know...sigh. I want a challenge, though [img]smile.gif[/img]

Damn floating sacks. They remind me of manatees. I hate manatees.

Pyrenk · 08-18-2003, 05:13 PM

Hm, that might work [img]smile.gif[/img] Do Elven Assassins look good in Shadow scale? I don't really like the frail image, but Shadow scale makes almost everyone look better

Xen · 08-18-2003, 05:14 PM

If you want style pick Jan`s Armor once you get UAI.
Note:Dryclean only.

Pyrenk · 08-18-2003, 05:16 PM

And it's effective armor, to boot [img]smile.gif[/img]

I prefer the Shadow scale, however.

New question. Dual weild daggers, or use single weapon? Scoring more critical hits is always nice, especially on backstabs, and IIRC, there is a THAC0 bonus, as well.

Second-what would be a good roll? I usually get a ~98 in under 10 minutes, so I can roll while watching t.v. (darn commercials).
