Had a weird idea for a party, an underdark monk/pally party. Could be interesting but the stat spread and UCL problems may be a big problem, what do you think:
Drow Monk/sorc: 10/18/10/5/17/20 Drow Fighter(4)/Pally: 18/12/15/5/10/20 Deep Gnome Monk/Cleric: 16/20/14/3/20/1 Deep Gnome Monk/Rogue: 11/20/`0/16/16/1 Will this be playable and any suggestions on stat allocation? [ 02-01-2005, 03:22 PM: Message edited by: Aragorn1 ] |

Definately playable, though I have (naturally [img]smile.gif[/img] ) some suggestions:
Having a monk sorcerer isn't really better than a straight sorcerer, and you will run into penalties. Go with a straight sorcerer and drop some WIS for CON and INT. Since Drow are neither fighters nor paladins, make him a fighter/paladin 50/50 to avoid xp penalties. Drop CHA to 18 and take 1 more in WIS and CON for more hp and lvl 1 spells. I like! I would take 4 off of STR and put it into CON for an uber-decoy, but that is just preference. Bear with the xp penalty. Er, typo on this one. If he's a monk/theif (?), then I honestly don't know what kind of stats to use. He will need 5/6s of the stats, so... I would ditch the monk levels. Without them, you can drop WIS a bit and make an effective backstabber/tactician. Good luck! |

Thanks, don't know where the monks came from, i was just looking at the monk orders and seeing how their multiclasses would work would, some, after thought, seemingly don't.
So; 1.A pure sorc. 2.With the pally, cha, ithougth, should be maxed due to the abilities it affects, is wis necessary though, what would be a level that didn't give me awfull will saves. 3.Will consider it. 4. No typo, there are no theives in IWD2, rogues, who are, "stealthy thevies...[or] silver tongued tricksters. Still others are scouts, infiltraitors, spies, diplomats or thugs," to quote the manual. They have replace 2E theives. How about a fighter theif, evenly leveled, to give extra punch, as thief skills aren't all that needed in IWD2 compared to BG1/2. |

Sounds like a good plan, though I would prefer a Drow for that build. When I said typo, I was refering to your CON being "'0", whatever that means.
For the paladin, by changing your CHA to 18 and getting 16 CON and 11 WIS, you are exchanging 1 to all saving throws for 1 hp per level and level one priest spells. After a certain quest, this guy's WIS will be increased to 12, giving him level 2 priest spells (draw upon holy might [img]smile.gif[/img] ). It seems like a great exchange to me, since being a Drow the pally already has great magic resistance. [ 02-02-2005, 05:18 AM: Message edited by: Marty4 ] |

Minor item spolier
Dont forget that there are 2 *cough* *cough* potions *cough* that increase your wis later in the game. So if you take all of them plus the quest you'll have 15 wis, which is more than enough.

Though one of those is complete rubbish. The downside of it far outways the upside.

I usually take the second.
Should have been 10 CON. Sorry, its just you had theif with a ? next to it i thought you were refering to that. Yes, i suppose the resisitances are fine without the need for the CHA bonus. |
