Level 21 Assasain->Level 30 Cleric.

I have summoned the ToB NPC talked to him,casted Harm,followed by Poison Weapon. Attacked him,he had something like 4 HPs but the poison finished him off. [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img]

So now you know...you can Poision Harm!

Cheesy stuff! Hmm maybe this guy could fit well in my Evil Powergaming party... Yes i think he would. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes, but can you apply the poison weapon ability to the harm attack itself? Then the harm attack would be lethal all on it's own...

And that does sound disturbingly powergamish...like an assassin/mage.

A party idea:
Assassin/Mage
Assassin/Cleric
Assassin/Fighter

Whaddya think? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Heh, I just made an assasin/mage to solo with last night. I had no idea they were on the cheese list already! It seems like a strong character, but the dragons might be a challenge.

Whoops, sorry, for some reason I read poison weapon and thought "attacked with a poisoned weapon" I should be more careful reading the boards when I'm tired... [img]graemlins/goodmorning.gif[/img]

The Assassin's ability to poison weapons actually applies an effect to the character, thus any weapon, however created or wielded, will poison the target being hit (unless the target is immune to poison, of course).
The original AD&D allowed for multiclassed assassin/mages for elves and half-elves, and assassin/fighters for half-orcs. Of course, they had the ability to kill an opponent with only one hit, based upon their relative levels. What fun! [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

interestingly enough...the assassin poison will actually gain up in level as your cleric class progresses...so a level 9 assasin dual to cleric, once the cleric hits around level 20, the poison will slow creatures...darned useful...

but don't poison fireseeds...much more fun to use g deathblow with fireseeds...

but what about removing them...does the priest spell do that too?

I would love to see how an Assassin->Cleric can legitimately use GDB when GDB is a Warrior-Only HLA. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The spell Find Traps does not disarm traps.
