I recently started a new game of BGT (my old is on hold until several bugs get fixed in the next patch) and I rolled a genuine 97 for my Elven Assassin (male, NE) giving him the following stats:
STR:18 DEX:19 CON:17 INT:18 WIS:11 CHA:14 Now I usually stop rolling somewhere between 85 and 90 but I got this one after about 5mins and was at first very happy but then disturbed. As I'll be taking this guy through BG1 too and I don't like using the tomes on other characters he'd end up with 19STR and 20DEX and 19INT which is a bit much for my taste (I could dual him to fighter OR mage and be better than the pure class). So my question is: If I give in to my lower instincts and power him up as much as possible, how should I try to balance this out? By choosing rather embarrassing party members (brave, brave Sir Garrick) or by specializing in odd professions (only non-magical daggers) or is it no problem anyway and I should jut keep him as he is?

If you want a challenge: tone done the stats, those are just too super-human. If not, try to role-play as much as you can and still enjoy.
P.S. shouldn't the tomes have a restriction of 18 as max attainable stat? Going from 19 to 20 with a tome is ridiculous!

Pity you can't dual elves [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I say go with him like he is. If you're already finding the game easy, try increasing the difficutly or installing mods. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Faceman,
why waste a great roll like that ? ![]() You can always stash the tomes somewhere safe until you decide whether to use them of not.... |

I, personally, would make a party of the weaker NPCs. At least you could say that you've used them. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Shar-Teel (she's actually quite good, but not as a Tank) Khalid Jaheira until you can get Faldorn Viconia until you can get Quayle Garrick Assassin? Should be fun.

I already did BG1 with my Blade and I put the 18 char for rpg-reasons and because I really want Aerie to like him even after he has taken his gear off
![]() Also I don't like keeping items in inventory just to use them for casual encounters like shopping ![]() After BG1 and the fabolous tomes he now has 19 char and thus can easily get to 25 with "Friends". Now that should get me some discount ![]()
