HLAs: Mage and Cleric

[Xero279]

Alright, i just purchased ToB about 30 min ago, i havent even installed it yet. I have completed SoA many times over, yet never played ToB. So anyway, i have a few questions about the HLAs for mage and cleric.

• What are the stats for the cleric HLA summons, and are they worth it?
• Which HLAs should i get for my Sorcerer? Which should i choose first and put more points into?
• Same question as above, but for clerics. My cleric is chaotic neutral (if it makes a diff)
• What is a good combo of HLAs for a Mage/Cleric?

Also, do any major merchants sell scrolls for the new ToB spells? (not wild mage spells, the Bigby's and Wish)
Thanks, and sorry if this is confusing, i got a headache so its hard to write

Cleric High Level Summons...

Summon Deva
(Conjuration/Summoning)
Level: Quest
Range: 40 yards
Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None

This spell opens a celestial gate and calls forth an angelic deva to fight at the caster's side until the spell expires or the deva's earthly avatar is slain.

Summon Fallen Deva
(Conjuration/Summoning)
Level: Quest
Range: 40 yards
Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
This spell opens an abyssal gate and calls forth an demonic deva to fight at the caster's side until the spell expires or the deva's earthly avatar is slain.

• Is it worth it? Definintely.
• HLA's for the sorcerer I prefer Dragon's Breath, Comet and AA.
• HLA's for a Cleric/Mage I really can't answer because I never spent much time with them. But for the scrolls, they sell many varietes in ToB (Black Blade os Disaster, Bigby's, and so forth).

Hope this helps buddy.

Aside from the off-topic post, I think you only summon the deva that fits your alignment, as for nuetrals, I don't really know.

Neutral Clerics and Mages get both the good and the evil variant. I think the good one is a little more powerful though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ahh, i had a feeling the good would be alittle more powerful, as the game is tilted towards good based partys. o well, i get both

Sorry about that Xero, earlier in the post I said to pick the spell AA, I was thinking about something else. A good spell is Improved Aclarity, sorry for that small bit of confusion

Ok, after doing a bit more reading, and a bit of experimenting, I have found that the Deva/Planetar is not necesarily more powerful than the fell variety, but their power is more useful. They get the same number and type of spells; but the Fell get Unholy this, the Angelic variety get Holy-that. Now, how many enemies in this game are good aligned compared to those that are evil aligned ?? Basically, a Holy Blight will do alot more for you than an Unholy one. [img]smile.gif[/img]
