That's what I've thought, you go through a door and a big nasty thing is standing behind it, is there much time to get spells of, or is it time to hide behind your henchman will a dagger?
Going with a barb, you should do a lot better.

Try the Twenty-in-a-Quiver Shop in the Docs district. I must warn you though, if you are trying for the Whitebone armour - it's a set of HEAVY armour... unless you have taken the heavey armour feat your barbarian will not be able to wear it!!

Ok guys, I gotta tell the truth! I saved her, but I'm playing a pure Cleric right now. I just wasn't enjoying the barb/wiz combo. I know I didn't give it enough time but I will go back. Now, my cleric runs around Beggers Nest, getting as many undead as possible to follow, then it's turnin' time!! You ever see 10-12 Zombies drop at the same time in this game? It's a beauty, eh!

I've never played a Cleric, but heard they are a lot of fun.
note to self, must use turn undead more with my paladin/CoT!!

Turning undead isn't as much fun with a Pally as it is with a cleric. It is a bit weaker. Undead that a cleric will destroy, a Pally may just cause them to flee in terror, or maybe have no effect at all. Comparisons made at same char lvls.

Oh right, I wasn’t really sure the strength of it. I only have about 6 (I think) pally levels, and think I'm up to 10 of CoT levels, does that make any difference?

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 01-26-2006, 08:15 PM

Well, charisma does have a factor in it as do some of the feats. Improved turning? Greater Turning? Turnanating the Zombies!?!?!?!

robertthebard · 01-27-2006, 12:33 AM

Well, charisma is a factor, but pally/CoT turning is weaker overall than a cleric. I don't recall now, but I think you can take a few lvls off a cleric to equal pally at the same lvl. A lvl 8 pally turns like a lvl 5 cleric, for example, not sure what the actual difference is now. Also, anything you can do to lower the saves on the undead will help, prayer, I believe, will do that, as well as bless?

Target · 01-27-2006, 05:09 AM

I'll have to remember that. Just completed the undead bit of Chap. 2 HotU wish I'd remembered at turning earlier!! Prayer, I'd forgotten about that, what does it do?

robertthebard · 01-27-2006, 02:33 PM

I think it boosts party saves, and lowers hostiles, as well as increasing your ab.
