Eastern themed party

Originally posted by 250: kensai/mage is nonsense, pure powergaming, it doesnt make sense at all, ohh, genius, you are good at both martial art and magic art, whatever. all asian party? cooooool! but Kara-tur is not famous for mages, residents there most rely on "ki" that is what monks use. they developed first non-magical way of levitation. heh, asia! anyway, i would recomand, a monk, a thief, a nin-ja(assasin), a bounty hunter, and a kensai. no cleric, no mage, asia's tales dont includ them

Kara-Tur isn't Asia, and I've heard of Asian Wizards (Mages) in folklore casting fireballs. Song Jiang anyone?
A Cleric could be a similar to a Jesuit missionary to the region. (Like one from say Macau)

Though I prefer not to use dual classing to concentrate on the roleplaying aspect, I wouldn't go so far as to say that a Kensai/Mage was "nonsense". It makes more sense than a Fighter/Mage.

I'd go

Monk
Kensai
Assassin
Asian Wizard (Mage)
Jesuit Cleric
Bounty Hunter

dude, you dont know shit. no flame. if Kara-tur is not asia, then what is it? what is Shao Lung? (china)? Kusazi (something like that) is japan, and there are countries imitate korean, and south asia island countries, if Kara-tur is not asia, then what is asia?

I love your language "dude". I meant, and I thought this obvious, that however Kara-Tur may be based on a few of the myriad cultures that exist in the manifold behemoth Asia is, it remains a fantasy realm. Indian mythology is Asian yet has no Ninja, Jordan has no Chi-filled Monk, Yakutsk has no Samuri. I HAVE heard of Chinese Wizards in the few myths I have read. I could be wrong, but I would heed the words of one learned in the ways of Asia, not the mythical Kara-Tur.

Next time you inform someone that they 'don't know shit' I suggest you make sure you don't end up eating it "250".

heh, you pretty smart huh? still, i am not taking it back. you really should check out what you saying. there is NO aisan wizard, because i am from asia, and i know it. you think you know more asian tales and myths than I do ????!

Kozakura is dedicated to Japan, Shou Lung to China, Wa to indonisa or phylipine, Northern to Mongolian, Koryo to Korea... and such

the whole Kara-tur is a imitation of ancient Asia.

I . . .I . . . (hangs head) agree with Rikard. (sniff). I am playing my third time through with: Minsc, Valgar, Jaheria, Jan, Aeria, and Me (Necromancer). I have three mages. There is nothing like throwing Entangle, two webs, and a stinking cloud. Then fire three fireballs in the mix, then mop up with your fighters . . . makes life easy. Only bad thing is when you run out of spells (oops).

That's why it is good to have fighter/mages, when the rifle runs our of bullets, you still have the bayonet (CHARGE!!!!).

I too like spellcasters.
I like to play a bard and have Nalia *and* either Aerie or Jan. Plus Jaheira for her handy insect plague.

So I would not be in favour of having a party without mages.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

250: I have to agree with Yorick here. And you realy should not say "dude you don't no shit" it puts you in a very bad light indeed and I am amazed Yorick did not retaliate in a more forcefull maner, we don't like that kind of talk on this board.

P.S I am not! haveing a go at you, just offering some friendly advice
