Yes I do Mel, Thanks.

my vote goes to the Red Dragon Scale. add a Ring of Fire Control and a Helmet of Defense/Dragon Helm and let the Fireballs rip [img]smile.gif[/img] . send your tank right in the middle of the inferno and watch the warm flames heal him!

Where do you upgrade the dragon scales to armour? Do you need any other items?

11-24-2001, 06:42 PM

Melusine, i was going to say the armor of the hart. But (SPOILER BOUT FIRKRAAG'S ARMOR) in ToB, the ring bonus gets fixed, so take it off, and its permanetly gone.

andrewas · 11-24-2001, 09:10 PM

sigh. as with all but a very few items in SoA, cromwell will do the honours. its not cheap, but then what is.

the few items that cromwell wont do, you might need cespenar who is only available much, much later, or maybe the bloke in the promenade who is good at horns.

and while were on TOB, imm curently in White Dragon Scale, which is better i think. ive got Red Dragon Scale on jaheria, but shes only on -4, so im thinking i need to improve it. maybe the legendary Big Metal Unit. nah, can get the components.

Best AC for MOnk- i know if u have 18 dex, u start with AC1, u lose 1 AC for every level up, and u can wear rings, cloaks etc. of prtoection just not gaunlets of defence or armour (inclusive of sheilds and halmets).
SO...
Porbably -10 because lower than that is hard to achieve according to the manual...

Go to Crommwell the dwarf in the docks district. He's shown on the map. He'll look through your stuff and make things if you have the right parts.

What is going on here? I don't have ToB yet, but I don't like the idea of anything being permanently gone. Please explain.

I think the dragon red scale mail is the best armour in the game, i havent gotten that far though... so dont trust me

Whailor · 11-26-2001, 05:24 AM

For a tank type, in BG2: SoA, definately Red Dragon scale is best. Good armor, which isn't considered as magical and thus you can add some neato other gear to your char.

Up and until that, and after that, Full Plate will also do. It's best usual non-magic platemail, which will - again - let you use the rings and cloaks and so on. Magic armor and all that is nice, but the restrictions really... well you know what.
