First, le parté!
Half-Elven Bard Danthe Halfsong Short Blades/bow STR 11 DEX 17 CON 11 INT 17 WIS 11 CHA 17 Human Ranger Hardlen Fiendbane Large Swords/Mace/bow STR 18/44 DEX 16 CON 17 INT 10 WIS 15 CHA 9 Gnomish Fighter Grandle Trickleblade Flails/Crossbow maybe Axes later on STR 15 DEX 18 CON 17 INT 16 WIS 9 CHA 13 Elven Mage Arledrian STR 10 DEX 16 CON 11 INT 18 WIS 15 CHA 13 Human Druid Sharon of Greenwake Spears/Staves/Sling STR 17 DEX 15 CON 10 INT 10 WIS 17 CHA 15 Elven Fighter/thief Kellindil Long Sword/bow/maces STR 17 DEX 19 CON 11 INT 13 WIS 11 CHA 11 I'm just amazed by the athmosphere of this game and it's diversity in hack&slash. There are many different situations to best and the small villages really gave me a cosy feeling. And unlike IWDII, the magical items aren't totally rare! So the excitement of finding one is great like in BGI. I'm currently busy exploring the Vale of Shadows, and it's exciting and challenging at the same time. I really screamed when I met my first ogre, I thought I was doomed! I wás, the first time, anyway. [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

A gnomish fighter? Well, you sure are a good RPer, not that anything is bad with that. Keep him with the same weapon, though. 5pp in a weapon is very nice. The ranger would be better as an elf, but human is fine. I may be wrong, but isn't Kellindil the name of an elvish fighter in R.A. Salvatore's novel Sojourn? I may have the name wrong, but oh well.
Lookin good! |

At first I wanted a gnomish fighter/mage, but I thought, lets use a fighter/mage for a next game, as they are quite a burden. So i settled for just fighter. And yes, Kellindil is the name of that elf, and I blatantly stole it, because that name fits the char. I honestly must say that i took the ranger for the extra attack with one weapon. And it is aiding me very very well. Why the human? Wanted the human avatar. Same as with gnome instead of haffer, i think the dwarven avatar kicks major arse, which gnome fighters do get.
Actually, gnomes are really good fighter, ever heard of the thing called a breach gnome ? FYI, I have HoW.

Prediction: NobleNick is going to storm in here and spank you for not including a DC in you party (and only one MC). [img]smile.gif[/img]

Got a bard, though, so JrKASperov will escape the ultimate tongue-lashing.
Btw, I'm a big fan of the single-class gnome fighter as well. Not only does it have the potential to have 18s in each of Str, Dex and Con (something that only humans, half-elves and gnomes can get), but a gnome fighter can wear the Helm of the Trusted Defender. You can have a -12 AC tank (without temporary spell buffs) by the time you are part way through Dragon's Eye. Showing how much of a nerd I am, I too picked up on the name-lifting from Sojourn. Book spoiler * * * Kellindil was: in the group that originally tracked Drizzt; a major reason why Drizzt wasn't killed by elves or rangers; foully attacked by Roddy McGristle. (what a stupid name for a villian!) In addition, the name Arledrian is the screen name of someone on the forum (mostly posts in GD).

Dualclasses are boring [img]tongue.gif[/img] , I would only have taken one if I had a single-class cleric. I find it taking too much time to regain the older class.
Oh and yes, arledrian is the screen name of someone on ironworks, but I realised that only AFTER I had assembled the name. Weird coincedences [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Arledrian is also the person upstairs in Gaelan Bayle's house in BGII. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I haven't done any long-term dual classing, since I have yet to get HOW and TotLM, but from what I've heard it gives you a challenge when you are regaining levels and a huge, powerful character that can tank when needed and shred enemies to bit with spells. Seems like fun to me! I always thought it was strange that a gnome could achieve the same physical stats as a human or half elf. Aren't gnomes usually illusionists or alchemists? I guess your cahracter is a bit above the norm. [ 11-14-2004, 08:03 AM: Message edited by: Marty4 ] |
