Personally I'd go for 17 Cleric levels (Lorekeeper of Oghma). This gives you tons of Symbols (6th and 7th level domain spells are both useful Symbol spells), as well as Power Word: Kill (great for finishing off big opponents that have been worn down to under 100 HP) and the oh so powerful Wail of ...

Yeah, I know.

The interesting thing was that he said he doesn't play HoF mode! Must try and remember to test this tonight after work.

I think my solo cleric was about 14th level at the end of chapter 1.

This is news to me. This weapon in normal mode would be devastating. I wonder if there are intermediate versions of it as well?

I have no idea whether this item "upgrades itself" automatically, or you need to buy it once you are higher levels. You don't have the Mod that allows HoF items in normal ...

Once you hit Heart of Fury mode, this weapon becomes awesome. You need to purchase it's upgraded version, but it's a +5 longsword that gives you Haste (and therefore +4 to AC and an extra attack) and Freedom of Movement while equiped AND +2 to Str and Dex!

In normal mode it's crap. It also takes on ...

You make some good points, but let me point out a few things:

I have tried to steer away from splashing a few squated Monk and Paladins levels. I don't like doing this because it feels wrong to me. These classes are supposed to be used in conjuction with one other, hence their orders - not part of ...

Here's my build for the 6 player ultimate power party (you don't really need all 6, 4 would be plenty and allow you to level faster, but anyway) and why, follow this and you'll cream the opposition, even on Insane Normal mode or HoF (based on attaining your 30 level max), also go for Good aligned ...

The best option for damage against Shernical is missile weapons that deliver extra elemental (but not electrical) damage (such as flaming arrows and corrosive bullets) and/or potions/items that have elemental damage capabilities such as Necklace of Missiles (purchased from the Werewolf guy at the ...

Easiest way to beat the Battle Sqaures? Summon pets. Undead are the best, but elementals or other monsters will do as well. Have your spell caster start the level and teleport your party away. Summon your pets all around the spawn point and chose a tile. While your pets pound away, have the ...

Yes I'm surprised you can't join the Leigon of the Chimera. Considering you can play Half Elves, Half Orcs, Asamiir's and Tieflings all of which are 'half breeds', they'd be prefect candidates for the Legion.

From a storyline point of view it doen't make sense not to let these characters join the ...

that's probably it. I take it there is an option of some sort in the character arbitrtation screen that lets you expor characters? Been so long since I played in HoF I can't remember how it works!

no, I don't mean the die roll was a 20 I mean the total was 20, infact every time I cast this spell the creature saves on totals of 23 etc. Has this happened to anyone else?

Should work with a game in progress.

I don't recommend you use the item swapping part though, I tried it and got some very weird results including the loss of some important equipment and impossible equips.

Yeah, I couldn't face going all that stuff again either.

Destruction Spell DC

I cast this every now and again and noticed that despite a wisdom of 28 and GSF: Necromancy, my cleric hardly ever killed anyone with this spell.

I checked the feedback window and noticed that sone random creature (a Histachi or Yaun-Ti I think) rolled a Fortitude save of 20 and was sucessful.

Damage Resistance stacking

I've got a character who has Bands of Focus (D.R. 5/+1) and the Cloak of Mystra (also 5/+1 DR), but he only ever gets 5 damage resistance, I guess because they don't stack like multiple AC bonuses of the same type.

My question is this, going into HoF, I plan on wearing Cornugon Hide Armour (DR 10 ...
