help me find perfect character

Sir Galefin · 12-20-2002, 05:41 PM

Ok now. I liked the fighter, then he got boring, got into a mage, got boring, tried cavalier, boring, thief, lasted a bit longer than the others, now boring. Help me please. What is a fun class to play?

Wizard Slayer, Bard, Shapeshifter

...

I tried shapeshifter, forgot to mention him, had a lot of fun bea the game. Are bards fun? They dont look to powerful at all

Sir Exxon · 12-20-2002, 05:53 PM

They are, actually. And if you haven't tried them yet, I suggest you do.
To get the real aspect of them, choose a pure Bard - no kit. Then you will experience how the true Battle Song works, etc.

You should maybe try a bard either a blade or a skald. There's a few threads knocking about at the moment about bards so read them and see if it sounds interesting to you. A bard is kind of a jack of all trades master of none but they can be incredably powerful if played correctly. Take the blade for example once they can cast level six spells cast tensers thransformation this gives you the hitpoints and thac0 of a fighter of the same level and remember the blade is a rogue and they can reach the highest levels of any class before the xp cap so you'll be the highest level fighter using this spell possible in the game at the highest level. Now cast stoneskin/mirror image /protection from magical weapons etc and you now have a high level fighter who cannot be hit. Very powerful and that's not even mentioning the use of summons once you get the improved bard song! A very powerful class.

But remember to cast Tenser's Transformation last, because it disables spellcasting for the duration. Buff, then Tenser, then carnage! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bards not really my style i got bored quick. He was good, but i dunno. Im playing a Kensai/Mage now and i really like him.

Shoot for one of the weaker classes to make it a little more challenging. Or go for a multi class, they're always fun trying to come up with different combinations of tactics. My favourite was a half elf fighter/mage/thief. Just going through TOB with him now.

Try Fighter/mage/thief solo. It is quite challenging, but fun. And definitely not boring.
