Welcome to the board Newearth Hunter

!,
Icewind Dale is an excellant game! My characters are in the mid 20'th
levels and I am currently playing the Lure Master add on.Also excellant!
have played through HoW to. As you progress the game gets really fun and
getting to the high levels is a Blast! I hope you enjoy it I know I have.
The stats on my players are all altered due to magical equipment,and
tomes wich permanantly raise stats

wich you will find later in the games.
My party is well rounded with a Palidin,Cleric,M/U,Fighter/Thief,Druid,and
a straight Fighter.

Hi NewEarth, yep its a great game with great artwork. My party is currently mostly 14th level in the Trails of the Luremaster download, which is excellent. I'm running 3 fighters, one dual class thief6/cleric14, one druid, one mage. Should you need help dont hesitate to ask, many helpful people here

IWD is pretty cool. some people play with 6 characters, some play with only one. for your initial party, i'd advise creating 4 or 5 members so your party will advance at a decent rate and so you don't have TOO many guys to manage, heal, ressurect, etc. You can always add a new character later in the game if you feel you are lacking in some area. If you have the HoW expansion, your max level will be 30!
Personally, i'm a multiclass junkie and i think some of the best multi-classes are the Gnomish Cleric/illusionist and the half-elvin Cleric/Ranger. IWD is really a cleric's game, so make sure you got at least one or two in the party to make things easy on yourself. Another good multi-class is the fighter thief, he scouts he kills, he hides in the shadows and knows how to use a short sword like he means it.
If you have Heart of Winter installed, then the Bard class is really powerfull as well. As a fighter, he needs a crossbow. As a Mage, he needs cool summon spells and anything that gets more powerfull with the level of the caster (bards shoot up in levels) and as a Bard, well they get a bunch of songs to choose from.

I play a solo Paladin in Icewind Dale. I've removed the experience cap, and by the end of Icewind Dale got to level 34

. Still don't have HoW.

Welcome to the forums BTW.

Howdy Newearth Hunter!

Icewind Dale is a great game! I've played through in single game and multiplay and loved it both times. Am just starting HoW in single play and will also play it in multiplay a bit later this year.

Single play game: Paladin, Ranger, Fighter/Cleric (multiclass), Thief, Bard, Mage and they range from level 10 to 14 as I start HoW.

Multiplay game: only using four pc's here so we are higher levels all around levels 14 or so. Cleric, Bard, Fighter/Mage and Thief

OH.. and please stop by this thread! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/No...ML/001130.html

How does that experience cap remover work? Does it continue with normal spell, weapon prof and saving throw progression to infinity levels or something? Or is it more like lower THACO and more HP? I wonder how well it patches into this game?
