Mage(s) ... need help - Page 2

Shrylia · 06-12-2001, 07:14 AM

I have a mage problem too! Who would you get rid of to replace with a mage: Khalid, Jahiera, Minsc, Dynehier,Imoen??? The couples are hard to break up I think, but someone needs to go!

I have to agree with Lavindathar, Imoen is the way to go. Take her to level 5, which means you can develop her skills nicely, and not take too long coming up to speed with her.

Thats what I'd do with your party, Shrylia, that or drop Dynaher or Jaheira (who's a bit weedy for a fighter when alls said and done)

What kind of character is your protagonist? Do you need Imoen's thief abilities or can you do without another fighter? As far as breaking up couples go, you can either send one of a pair into a battle alone & without any equipment to kill them off; or, if you feel guilty about that, you could put one of them into a building that you will never enter again and then reform the party. As long as they don't get the chance to give their farewell speech in front of their mate, everything is fine.

I would drop Minsc or Dynahier. Which ever suits your party most.

I would go get Kivan though. He rules.

My character in the group is a Paladin! So I guess I don't need to keep a fighter... I like the idea of dueling Imoen. Edwin I managed to insult and he attacked us and so we had to kill him...so thats out.

Beaumanoir · 06-12-2001, 02:51 PM

I use Dynheir, I would use Edwin, but A) he's evil, and B) He cant use Clarvoyance spell, which I think is REALLY helpful, many people underestimate the powers of Divination, but where would you be without it! No Clarvoyance, No Identify spells.... What am i saying? I sound Like A Polition! AHHHHHHH

Hmmm... Dynaheir is a mage. So I'd get rid of Khalid and keep her

And Minsc.

She's also my mage of choice. Of course, my main character is a paladin and as such, strives to attain the 20 reputation. Besides her alignment, I also like her 16 constitution.

As for Khalid... Khalid is a guy I just can't stand. He's just too annoying without being amusing like Xan... and while I wouldn't mind travelling with Jahiera, well, unfortunately, my paladin is too goody goody to seperate the couple or arrange the 'accidental' death of Khalid.

Lavindathar · 06-12-2001, 05:13 PM

Am I the only one round here who likes Khalid?

Khalid's OK IMO, it's just that you have to baby him along at the beginning until he gets a decent Armor Class, because his morale breaks VERY easy ("Better part of valor, better part of valor"

)

Consuelo · 06-12-2001, 06:23 PM

the reason i prefer Minsc over Khalid is that Khalid has a relatively low strength for a warrior. I mean 15? come on . now minsc theres a goon. big strength of 18/93. now that can get things done. but hey, then again khalid can get way more skilled in a single weapon than Minsc who is a ranger, so i guess it evens out in the end.
