Regarding the Shadow Armor that a Kensai/Thief could wear. That would be when he has both Kensai & Thief Abilities? Has Anyone tried it with the Dragon Shadow Armor? Thanks on that Mask thing.

One character I'm playing is a Kensai/Thief and even though he shouldn't be able to wear any armor, I read that he can wear shadow armor. Would this be true for the Shadow Dragon armor or Nights Gift? Has anyone tried this?(When you have both Kesai & Thief abilities)

In pen & paper I always play a halfling thief, it just makes the most sense. Recently I found out that the game doesn't take into account the modifiers for race to your thief abilities...and the computer doesn't care or know what you look like, you're "human" size...that's it.
In "real" D&D I used ...

How does the shadow armor compare with these two?

Wow, didn't know this was gonna be such a big debate. Either way, I'll have to check out using the Shadow Armor, because if I can, I would deffinately go that route, I'd give up the helmet & bracers.I really like to backstab, and once I do that I usually had to get out of there otherwise I'd end up ...

I just read in another thread that the penalties of wearing armor/not wearing armor have not been implemented. In addition to that I like the ability to wear armor, bracers, and helmets. I think that I may give up the max damage of the kesai for those abilities of the regular thief. I think that I ...

Thanks for all the info. I appreciate it greatly. Now all I have to do is decide. Is Yoshimo pretty good thief? can you pick him up somewhere soon after you leave the Asylum? We don't have a thief..so I was gonna level up after level 9, but if we have a thief in the party..I'd like to wait till ...

Kensai/Thief vs Fighter(Berzerker)/Thief

I started out a game with 4 of my buddies. We have a mage, archer, fighter/cleric, paladin, npc, and me. I want to play some sort of a Fighter Thief. I started out as a Kensai...but we didn't get very far yet, so I can always change. I realized that I can't wear any armor...I guess it didn't dawn on ...

Strongholds for Multiplayer Characters ?

I've read many of the threads regarding multiple stronholds, but I haven't found an answer to this question. We have 5 guys playing a multiplayer game. When we get to the stronghold area, is there a way where we can all get a quest for our appropriate class? I read somewhere where the protagonist is ...

Max HP & Learning ALL Spells on Level UP?

I thought that I had read somewhere that you can set BGII so it gives you max HP, and that spell casters will learn all spells.

Another weird oddity. When I created characters on my unpatched version, I created many of the same characters with slightly different stats...but they always had Maximum ...

Thanks Nael,
I didn't know that a Barbarian can't dual class to a thief..In the manual it says that characters not allowed dual class status are paladins, rangers, or druids. It didn't say anything about Barbarians. I was thinking of Barabrians because of the 12 hit points per level + Con bonus as ...

Another thing I read while reading through these posts is that there is a special set of rules for Dual Classing? I guess your stats need to be different.

Would a Kensai
18/00,18,18,9,10,8
or a Barbarian
18/00,18,18,10,13,8
be able to dual up after level 8?

By the way...thanks Weasel

That way my thief will still fo up to level 22. I was wondering if after my thief surpasses my fighter's level will I be able to ...
