With my current solo sorcerer, I have reached Kuldahar and am at level 24. My question is this: I recently ran into the cloak of Mystra (or whatever it is called) that gives 5/+1 damage resistance to mages. My dilemma: Since I am drow, I can safely add on a mage level to my character to wear this and it's even more useful HoF version which grants 15/+3 damage resistance. The only useful cloak that I have found so far is a cloak of protection +1, and it gives me no armor class since I am holding Sulo's Hook in the off hand (deflection +3).
So, should I add a mage level? The ONLY advantage will be the cloaks, since my INT is 6 so I can't cast mage spells. Also, while I'm at it, how do you take screenshots of the game? There have been several memerable moments so far in the game that I wish I had shots of: The entire horde fortress garrison dead in a circle around me, a melee of allied bonegaurds holding off enemy necromancers and crystal golems as I take on Sherincal by myself, a full 5 minute fight in front of the statue of Lysan between me (with Tenser's) and Lysara (with an ice blade), etc. It's been exciting, I wish I had shots Thanks! |

IMO dont take the mage level.
There must be some other cloaks. Wasnt there a cloak of displacement somewhere? or the drow piwawfi cloak? And on a side notice, if you found nothing at all why not use the winter wolf/ yeti cloak (very weak protection, but better than nothing from what youre currently wearing). And as for screenshots, doesnt PrintScreen work? [ 06-21-2005, 08:05 PM: Message edited by: ZFR ]

Well, this probably doesnt help now, but in the severed hand i found Chain of Drakkas, which is really cool. You dont need armor proficieny for it, and it doesnt do anything to your spellcasting.
(I know this aint fair... but [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] i liked it so much that i used cheats [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img] to put it on my solo battleguard when i started again...)

Its HoF incarnation will be fairly useful, so taking it wouldn't be that bad of an idea, not to mention you'll get a feat for that level too, which you can put into something useful.

I know about Drakkas' Chain, but the cloak of mystra is an actual cloak, not a robe or armor. I fully intend on using that armor.
I've actually decided that I WILL take the mage level. I checked my manual which I found earlier today, and sorcerers gain NIL for progressing from lvl 29 to 30. ZFR, the button labeled prt scr does nothing when I press it. Right button? I may not have the right outside program for it... |

Print Screen takes a shot of the screen alright.
It's up to you to paste it in a paint-type program and save it [img]tongue.gif[/img] (MSPaint works well for this, paste the screenshot in it and save as jpeg... I think newer versions can do that, if not, find a program that can)

I remember most games having a preset folder called "Screenshots," so that when you pressed the "Print Scrn" button (next to F12) it automatically got saved within that folder (usually as a .bmp image). It's been so long since I've played Icewind Dale 2, that I cannot remember if that game had a preset folder. Anyway, check for it first. Otherwise, like Neo said, you'll hafta paste what you copied (only one at a time--if you click it again, the prior one gets overwritten) into a program such as Paint or Photoshop, etc. Hmmm...I do remember a game that actually had the F12 assigned as the button to press to take snapshots...I'll get back to ya when I remember--lol...

Thanks, I didn't realise that print screen just copied the page (I was expecting a window to appear). I don't have a program to put it on yet, but I'm getting one soon.

I don't know, my Print Screen always saved a shot in the ScrnShot folder. I have around 320 megabytes of them now.
