I was bored this morning, so I figured I'd try to find the weakest character in the game. The answer, my friends, is not a bard, nor a multi-class character, though perhaps a diviner. The answer is:

Human Mage (not conjurer, because of con requirements.) with Con of 3.

Managed to roll 2 hp! That means you barely survive the flame arrow that you must take in the Gorion cut scene. Not only that, I fell to the rats! Screens upcoming...

Note: Why do all elf classes have a minimum Con score of 6, when they get -1 to Con, and yet humans, who have no effect on Con, get a minimum of 3?

LOL, it'd be so funny if you didn't survive that first flame arrow.

I was actually trying to create one that wouldn't survive it...problem is, minimum amount you seem to be able to get is 3 Con...with a mage, that's -2 or so HP, from a d4. Still working on making it though...

-2 from a d4 should give you a 75% chance of 1HP. I guess the designers prevented that happening in order to stop people breaking movies.

GateKeep it down if you really must.

The 2 CON is nice, but for actual weakest I'd say a Thief, with only 3 STR.

No armor, and no defensive spells like Armor or Mirror Image, can make it really tough trying to Backstab someone with your THAC0 of 25. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now that is something I'd like to see.You'd think Gorion being such a powerful mage would be holding better things then just a note,some gold and a dagger.(That's right,I looted his body!)

Not a very poweful mage in the scheme of things. Although you would have expected *something* worth taking - by the time you get to his sort of level your swimming in +3 and +4 weaponary.
