Shapeshifter

Balintherlas · 03-18-2004, 02:23 PM

The shapeshifter might be the best class ive played in the game. The greater werewolf is fackin awesome.

Xen · 03-18-2004, 02:38 PM

Be careful what do you say. He is good but definitly NOT the best class in the game. They are far better classes.

Blade (Bard kit)
Sorcerer [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]
F/M
C/R
Cavalier (Paladin kit)

The list just goes on and on.

hahaha...well it depends how you spend your points in skills etc... still I agree with Xen that sorcerer is one of the best classes. Also kensai can be awesome

Xen · 03-18-2004, 03:26 PM

Well if not one of the best the Sorcerer certainly is *THE* most powerful class in the game.

Dayhawk · 03-18-2004, 07:46 PM

i would be careful too. while the shapeshifter is very powerful in the mid levels, it will get MUCH less powerful as time goes on and you need a better THAC0 than greater ww can give you to hit things. then you're just a druid with some restrictions.

Balintherlas · 03-18-2004, 08:04 PM

I agree wit the sorceror, but i dont think mages are good on their own. Im pretty fond of the cavalier as well, but when you can get a decent fighter in a shapeshifter so u can cast spells, then the power house greaterww, ur pretty unstopable. Also, wit the gww contistution, u can take enough punishment to still be awesome even wit their thaco. Question though, does a lady werewolf look different?

Only they can tell the difference.

As for the most powerful class/es, there have been several threads on the topic. My votes go towards the sorc and the cleric/mage, but that's just me.

This, again.

Use the search function and you will find many in-depth despcriptions pitting classes against each other. (although its generally agreed that Sorcerer is the most powerful at high level).

As for female werewolves, I suppose their like dwarves in Pratchett

I have the Ease of Use mod, which makes the greater werewolf *extremely* powerful, unlike the buggy one that is in the ordinary game. I mean, -6 Base AC, 20% MR, 50% All Elemental Resistance, godly base THACO, 2D6 base damage, and the best part, regenerate 3 hit points per second, are all very-very good. This made making Cernd join your party be worth a while.

*BUT,* to my great surprise, my protagonist, a cool dual-katana Kensai with 18/16 Strength, 19 Dexterity, 16 Constitution, killed the freak with ease! This guy is a real killer, trust me on that!

I am now completely convinced that a dual-wielding Kensai is by far the most powerful fighter-class, if used well. He gains -1 THACO and +1 Damage every 3 levels and -1 speed factor every 4 levels, so at level 40, he has an extra -13 THACO and +13 Damage and -10 speed factor(!) ALONG with all the great proficiency bonuses and such that ordinary fighters recieve.
