Decurion · 02-05-2003, 10:28 PM

how can you get 25 con? is that just a plus of half-orc barbs? or did you have item bonuses too....

On the edge of my seat, Decurion

I need to know if there are any DEX tomes in BG1.

Anyway... here we go.

Introducing the Swashbuckler, level 40, Elf, Evil.

He starts life in BG1 with 19 DEX.
Deck of Many Things, 20 DEX.
Machine of Lum the Mad, 21 DEX.
Nine Hells Wrath Test(Evil), 22 DEX.

Big Metal Unit: -10 AC
22 DEX: -15 AC
Nine Hells Selfish Test(Evil): -17 AC
Kit Bonuses: -25 AC And I am just only getting started! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Helm of Balduran: -26 AC
Sentinel Shield: -31 AC
Defender of Easthaven: -32 AC
Ring of Gaxx: -34 AC
Ring of Earth Control: -35 AC
Cloak of the Sewers: -36 AC

That is his BASE AC. It cannot be dispelled, and good luck trying to 'penalise' it.

I have not factored in Girdles of Bluntness/Piercing, Golden Girdle, Boots of Avoidance, etc... yet either. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Boost him with Improved Invisibility, Chant, Defensive Harmony, etc... and the party will go on.

There is one tome that will boost DEX in BG1.

Excellent... notch down another point to the Potential Base AC then.

Dace De'Briago · 02-06-2003, 02:22 AM

Just a couple of notes...

1) No difference between dexterity 21 and 23... each of these provides -5AC
2) The character needs to be a thief (good choice with the swashbuckler btw) because some of the stat bonuses apply only to the PRIMARY stat
3) Sacrifices need to be made along the way in the BG series, some of your other stats will be reduced at some point

Dundee Slaytern · 02-06-2003, 02:33 AM

Ah dang... 24 DEX is the next breakthrough. Any idea on how to obtain that one more DEX point?

I purposely chose the Swashbuckler because it is the class that benefits the most and I am aware of the stat penalties. I already took them into account. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dace De'Briago · 02-06-2003, 03:26 PM

Can thieves choose sword and shield proficiency?

Dace De'Briago · 02-06-2003, 03:30 PM

Girdle of Glory knocks another 3 off the AC...

Dace De'Briago · 02-06-2003, 03:39 PM

We could also use the Stiletto of Demarchess as a weapon [replaces Defender of Easthaven], which knocks a further 2 off the AC.

Then we could also equip the belt of cursed boots of phasing, for another 2 off the AC...

This AC is going to be pretty low...
