Necromancers?? They can't cast Project Image or Simulcra, two of the best spells in the game. Necromancers are one of the worst classes. Go Conjurer.

What is problematic? With one character you eliminate the need to have a thief and a cleric. Look at this example. In one party you could have jan and amonen or Viconia. In another party you could have a cleric/thief and a straight mage. Which party will be more powerful? The Cleric/thief party ...

The reason why I like Cleric/thieves is that they combine two classes that peak about level 14, which is where a Cleric/thief will end up at the end of SOA. There is no real reason to have a thief that is higher level than 13, unless you have an assasin, or want to set traps and backstab. By level ...

I think you should be a straight fighter. You have enough thievery in Jan, and more than enough magery with three characters casting spells. I don't think that F/T or F/M are the way to go. Straight fighters have better thaco, # of attacks per round, proficiencies and don't need to cast spells ...

If you take the theives to spellhold, when you come back you can talk with aran linvail. He will say that he will give you help attacking the vampires. When you are in the main room of the vampire lair, three or four thieves show up, including arkanis gath. They provide a needed distraction for the ...

I don't accept that. I banged on my mage with a stone skin like 30 times with an un-modded carsomyr. The dispel affect text played, but stoneskin was not dispelled. Same with mantle, protection from weapons. Carsomyr isn't set at a level, it just doesn't work. I put imoen in my partty to get another ...

I had a great idea yesterday. I tested Carsomyr SoM, and the dispel function against my own party members. I loaded my mage up with mantles, protection from weapons, and spell protections, and then started hitting him with carsomyr and SoM. What I found was that although the text "Dispel affect" was ...

As I stated to grandpa, I think that the guide is wrong. The game text and my game experience back me up. Maybe I'm just having really bad luck dispelling with keldorn. Nuff said.

As for the carsomyr and SoM comment, this is more what I'm looking for. Based on the pocketplane forum, I now think ...

keldorn's dispel works against all mages(in SOA). I'm pretty sure the most powerful mage is kangaxx at level 26. Most mages are level 18 tops. By the time Keldorn is 14 his dispels work 100% of the time against all but kangaxx, some liches, and maybe Jon (I'd have to check). I know that kangaxx is ...

I have the official patch, but I don't have the baldurdash patch. I don't understand why baldurdash would change whether dispel works on spell protections. The game says that dispel doesn't work on spell protections. They introduced special spells (Ruby ray, secret word) to counter spell protections ...

Spell protections are not dispellable. I have used Keldorn's dispel (effective level 30 or so) on spell protections and they are not dispelled. The game even says that spell protections are not dispellable. Also, the dispel doesn't affect anything else, if spell protections are up. The spell ...

Lompo, I don't think dispel magic is an awesome spell. I use keldorn's dispel sometimes, to dispel holds, entangles, domination, that sort of thing. However, I know for a fact that spell protections are not dispellable, which really sucks. I am willing to trust you that carsomyr's dispel is stuck at ...

carsomyr and Staff of magi dispel

What exactly will hits by carsomyr and Staff of Magi dispel? I know that spell protections are undispellable. But I have read that Staff of Magi dispels combat protections, IE: protection from magic weapons, mantles, and carsomyr does not. I have also heard the other way around. I know that when I ...

thaco

Can anyone list the thaco/# of attacks that the various character types get per level. The kit bonus to thaco and # of attacks is listed in the kit description, but I can't figure out what base bonuses are for fighters/rogues/priests/mages. Once site I read said that fighters get a thaco bonus every ...
