Wich of the two is the best to hunt down spell-casters?
And is this spell disruption of the wizard slayer any good? |

INQUISTOR-it is not even close. If you hit a mage with ANY character, his spells will usually fail. I also like the Undead Hunter, mine is female so I named her Buffy. Get it?

Personal opinion ahead: I'd pick the paladin, since he can use potions, and other magical equipment....not to mention Holy Avenger.

I get it though undead hunters are pretty useless since undead aren't really that strong, not even bodhi was a challenge to my cavelier. [This message has been edited by Dreamer128 (edited 03-29-2001).] |

But what does that spell-disruption, is it same as all chars get (hit=100% change failure)?

You have to hit the wizard to get that to work, there is always a risk of not connecting (although this is relatively low risk). But what tax wizard slayer to most is that he/she cannot wear magical rings, amulets, and others non-weapon/armor item.

Well, I have not played a wizard slayer yet, but judging from playing with Keldorn the inquisitor kit is extremely powerful: the True sight at casting speed 1 is very useful and the dispel magic at casting speed 1 and at double level rocks, it should really be labelled life insurance. Throw in a paladin's saving throw bonus - way underrated IMNSHO - and the HA. All of that with no catch, e.g. restrictions like in the ws's case, attached.

For wizard slayer you not only get spell disruption, but also cumulative 10% casting failure. Which means if you hit a mage or cleric wearing iron/stone/whatever skin, their spells will be interrupted, and with each additional successful hit the penalty will increase. However, drawbacks are also significant - no potions, no cloaks/girdles/gauntlets/rings/amulets.
You also get some magic resistance, which is handy, but Holy Avenger gives ypu better protection. Plus it dispells magic. So, if you want a more powerful character, it is probably better go with paladin. ------------------ Mishik's Place |

So the only good thing about a wizard slayer is some small magic resistance? |

Spell disruption (it takes time to build up) and magic resistance is good. The magical item restrictions (including potions) is what turned me off. (of course, this is personal opinion)
