I'm adventuring w/ Valygar in my party. I've finished every part of Chap 2 save for killing Kangaxx and have moved on the Chap 3. At this point, I have made my long-term party friends, having picked up and acquired others to do character-specific quests. SO, it seems I'm too high in level to change and I am settled on:
Jaheira (again - ugh!) Viconia (girlfriend) Nalia Mazzy Valygar PC (Dual F/T) I am beginning to see Valygar as my weak link. I can't seem to get his AC below -2, which is what he begins with, and that plus (I assume) poor saves are causing me problems. Viconia took one of her 2 rods of resurrection and wrote "For Valygar Only" on it just to spite me. Those who have finished w/ Valygar - how'd you tool him up to make him suck a little less? |

Give him the Shadow Dragon Scale and some items like ring of earth control, cloak of the sewers. My Valygar lost his backstab somehow, so I made him dual-wield axes and bastard swords. He becomes better in TOB with the White dragon Scale armor.

Shadow Dragon Scale Armor is a good set of armour. Ring of Earth Control has a hidden AC modifier. So does Cloak of the Sewers, Helm of Balduran or Vhailor's Helm. Valygar can backstab as far as I know. Celestial Fury is a good katana. Sentinel's Shield is a good shield, so is Shield of the Lost, Saving Grace, Shield of Harmony and Dragon Shield are good shields. The Night's Gift (You are probably using that one yourself) is also a good armor and boots sneaking skills. Gauntlets of Dexterity and Girdle of Hill Giant Strength will help him.

Love the new sig Lothar. I'm wearing the Black Dragon armor. I hope I haven't dispensed with Night's Gift yet - where is that? Maybe I could use it and give him mine. I've tooled him up w/ Belt of Strength, or I will shortly enough (I've got Mazzy to tool up as well). Ring of Earth control has thus far been used to modify my PC's AC, along w/ cloak of sewers. I dualed at F10, so the PC is not so shabby. I guess my problem is I'm running several characters who all need tooling to get the best out of them. I'd not really given any thought to Valygar + shield. My AD&D 2E mentality keeps me stuck on 2 weapon. oh well, anything's worth a try.

The Nights Gift is given to you by the mayor in Umar Hills after solving the quest. You might give him D'akkon's Zerth Blade for extra AC.

Give him Celestial Fury + his Family Blade, Black Dragon Scale, Girdle of Giant Strength and he is wicked. Have him haste+hide+backstab+return to fight regular. He's not a front line fighter though, so you've got to use him specially.

I use him for arching and backstabbing, and it seems to work!
Need a good bow for him though, he has the strong arm right now.

I just had him duel-wield Celestial Fury and Daystar. Very effective.

Celestial Fury is a wonderful sword for Valygar.
