Damn right this doesn't have anything to do with this thread! Don't pollute it with spam, ok dude, especially as it's a good thread. Don't respond to this comment, either.

Only longswords and katanas, and my bow. It provides a challenge that way. I'm trying to ROLEPLAY the charcter as I see an Elven Ranger. Not a god. Of course, if anyone wants to powergame for the Challenge, they are welcome to !!!

Valid point Rudedawg but i'm still curious why doesn't Perin have any cloak at all, I cant picture a ranger without a cloak. The cloak of reflection may be too good but all the other ones in bg1 and 2 are not so whats your reason? (By the way thanks for telling me Perin's stats)

I used the Cloak of Non-Detection, or Displacement at first. Then I asked myself....

In a PnP game, is it likely that a single character will be completly equiped in magical array?

A weapon or three, maybe some armor or rings or boots....
but, EVERYTHING????

I'm not telling anyone else how to play, but I've been removing stuff for a while. I don't use an uber-weapon. I don't have a blunt weapon at all, so I have to figure out golems and such. I have NOTHIN that can hit Kangaxx. (I've killed before solo, I have nothin to prove)

I'll drop off the two rings I'm wearig; Ring of the Ram and Ring of Reg. And the Periapt of Life Protection. (IRL, I never wear jewelry)

I still believe I can take out the BIG BAD GUY.

Memnoch, I didn't say it would be easy... We all know I'll be reloading a lot...
but, I will do it.

And, Timberwolf???

Ahh, I see where you're coming from RD, you want the world to be less of magic, and the magic that is there shouldn't be that common, but when it is it should be powerful (I think). It is a good idea, but I think alot of us play the games because it is magic and might that is making it fun.

The notion of less magic is good, but then some of the monsters (and the cheats to make it harder), probably shouldn't be in your realm or world. I guess it is more a balance that we all look for, some want magic flowing like water in the world, or as rare as hen's teeth, and when you decied which way to go, how will you make it fun, and not too extreem.

Btw, you could have magic on every part, especially if Perin was an adapt fletch, and with his druid buddies they have learned how to gather nature's forces into there bows and arrows. And if Perin is traveler and a bit of a drinker and tradesman, he could easily work out trades of high quality archery gear for magic gear from the other tradesmen.

Just a though

I wonder how little Perin's going with his challenge. I haven't heard from RudeDawg for a while. Maybe little Perin's in the Fugue Plain already...

I soloed through BG2 with a Kensai but the idea of taking on DemoGorgon solo horrifys me, that and its not the kind of the thing he would do, my Kensai is a vicous evil scumbag and certainly wouldnt go up againt the Prince for laughs, in fact hed probably let him free for a price.

Id do it as a sorcerer, project image, improved aclarity followed by the summoning of 5 planetars would make it relitavly easy, when I say easy thats opposed to my Kensai, hell I might try it.

Oh I should mention I have gone through ToB already and my party completly hammered him.

Well my 6 kicked the Demogorgons ass in a couple rounds but....lost one, and you want to solo? Good luck RudeDawg, take beer Tell us the sordid details!

I didn't think you could summon 5 planetars at once, could you?

There is a bug with Similacrum/Project Image and summoning. A party can only have a total of 5 creatures and only one Planetar/Deva at any time. However, a Projected Image and/or Similacrum is not a member of your party, and can summon five of their own. You can only summon multiple planetars, if your original real NPC doesn't have one summoned at the same time.
