Game Experimentations

Gangrell · 07-30-2003, 03:45 PM

Usually through out, pretty much all of my games, I took a party of six, but this time I was thinking about going semi-solo. I'm going to go with at least one other character, otherwise it kills the roleplaying part for me. I was thinking of taking Jaheira, because her cleric/druid spells may come in good use in the future (Iron Skins, Insect Plague, etc), but I don't really know what class(es) for my character to take. Anyone have any suggestions for a semi-solo game with Tactics Mod installed?

You could use a Ranger/Cleric, and take somebody other than Jahiera...Imoen, perhaps? You get her late in the game, though, so Edwin would do.

An Archer would be good because he could snipe off enemies from a distance, a sorcerer because you would be able to complement Jahiera's druid spells with your arcane, a tank for the roleplaying aspect (her bodyguard...try a Paladin

), or a Blade. Blade's are great-magic, swordplay, charisma, and cool special abilities. The Blade would be a good support for Jahiera as well-use defensive spin with the Ring of Free Action, stand near an enemy to attract it, cast some spells, and then sing your song, which would help Jahiera smite the distracted enemy. Once you get Imp. Bard Song, that tactic would work much better, although your AC wouldn't be as high when compared to the enemies THACO.

Oh, and the MMM exploit comes to mind...

F/M/T and Jaheira or R/C and Solaufein

How is it exactly that ranger/clerics have blunt weapon resistance?

Pyrenk · 07-30-2003, 04:06 PM

I don't think that they have it naturally, but the Defender of Easthaven could give that sort of protection...its a flail, so R/C's can use it.

I've heard Daan say they have high physical resistance to some type of weapon damage a lot, so I just assumed. I was thinking some around a single class then dual over to another, but considering I've already played a Kensai, I'm a little bored with that idea.

Tell me this though, wouldn't playing a F/M/T just to get UAI be a waste considering you could use nearly every item in the game anyway?

Dadams1 · 07-30-2003, 04:24 PM

As long as you're a fighter or paladin or swashbuckler, etc, then you should take Aerie. A Fighter/Thief and a Mage/Cleric, not a bad combo...

Xen · 07-30-2003, 04:25 PM

Well yes. To tell you the truth F/M/T is also or very near overpowerd.
I still suggest R/C and Solaufein.

Gangrell · 07-30-2003, 04:34 PM

The reason I want to take Jaheira is basicly for the spells and her romance, I've done Aerie's and Viconia's, so I thought Jaheira would be an obvious choice, plus her interactions with the Harpers give into good roleplay experience.

Actually thats not too bad an idea, I've never really experimented with the Swashbuckler class yet, so I might give it a shot.

Actually, it depends how you look at it. A Fighter/Mage can be overpowered if you write down all the spell scrolls you find into your mage book.
