Dual wield , man !!... A sword in MAIN hand and Crom in the OFF hand will allow you backstab at 25 STR

But Angurdaval alone looks OK to me, 22 STR ...
Don't forget anyway that STR damage bonuses are NOT multiplied in backstabs !

If you ever plan to have Immy or Sola in your group you just have to make room..

What's Korgan doing in your do-gooders group? You have enough punch without this evil bastard ! :)
Anomen is not required too... Ok, Turn ability get handy when he reaches 14th+ level, but your PC is a druid and has ...

Manveru modded some BG2 NPCs to make them joinable, and also some old BG1 friends, amogst them Coran, Skie, Alora, lot of thieves ...
They are not fully developed and have few dialogs, but I feel this is a better solution (from a roleplay point of view) than a MP party. Or just make 2 chars : your ...

Planetars just rocks, one alone could wipe out bodhi's dungeon, if only it could remain enough ;) Globe of Blades, true Sight, heal, some nice wizard spells, great fighter ... :)
Devas are much less good, a marilith cut one in pieces in a matter of seconds :(

But IIRC you can't have more than 1 ...

the Mod is out, a 50 Mb dload. Did someone try it ?
I can't currently, I do play ToB and can't reinstall a new game.

For a start I suggest dualling at 9th, your char won't be a great fighter but you'll play more as a mage (and he will be quite solid anyway ! :) )...

Else I rather suggest 13th than 12th as you gain an additional 1/2 attack/round at 13th ! But it's quite longer, you'll have to wait for 1.25 M xp ...

and the LoveTalk variable will need lowering as well IIRC.

I looked at a previous save (before Imprisonment) and saw that only Romance status changed from 2 to 3, Lovetalk didn't change, so I left it (at 37 or stg like that).
Didn't see the effect yet, as we're still ...

I was romancing Jaheira and she was Imprisoned in WK by the d**i*i**h in 5th level ... I didn't realize the imprisonment effect at once, and went on with my game !
As Imprisonment releases NPC from the party it has the side effect of breaking romances, and I don't want to reload a save prior to ...

I agree, these things are *hard*, best way to go is to summon Skel Warriors (best, I had even one surviving te fight !) and fire elems (for my part I got there pretty late in the game and with ToB installed, so I had Anomen with Deva summoning ... :) ).

Fight at the room entrance, not in the middle ...

It's not like the Staff of the Ram is immediately available cause you have ToB installed now, is it?

Not sure what's your question, but yes, I have ToB installed, and no it's not "immediately available", you have to retrieve the Staff from a nasty nasty ... :D :D ...

Personally I prefer forming a stable 4-guys team (my PC + 3 NPCs)early and have 2 slots free. So I can have a slot for "visiting" NPCs that are in the group only for their quests (Haer Dalis, Mazzy, Cernd...), and also another for "temporary support" if needed (an additional fighter or mage).

Later ...

Yes, as the "weapon change" between the staves will be instantaneous (if you pause).

But rather use the Staff of the Ram if you have ToB, this one should be very powerful for backstabs ... muwwwaa mwwwaaa mwwaaaa

I suppose you speak of the Balor in the Underdark caves.
Just bash him hard, I'd no problem with Carsomyred Keldorn ... :D
Don't waste spells on him though,he's mostly impervious to magic !

However you should have some protection against his fear/confusion/etc to avoid unpleasant outcomes... :p ...

<STRONG>ivan, but when I dual up to a thief, I'll end up having to wear leather again until I get use any item anyway right? So wouldn't it be better to just play the wiz-slayer or kenzai with their equip restrictions, and then make the easy transition to leather ...

Hmm, perhaps you don't have to uninstall ToB : just open and edit dualclass.2da in teh Override folder, it's a simple text file that lists possible duals. I don't have it right now (I'm at work ! :D ) so can't give you detailed procedure but it's somewhat straightforward.
For your Avenger edit it ...

Looks Cool !
When and where should we see that in our games ?

Drawing kuo toans is not so easy, there's the trap on the bridge, then you have to put the KT on the altar without getting into first yourself !!! :eek:
Simplest non-cheesy method is to use Horn of Valhalla or Spider figurine...

Anyway beware, once you'll have awakened *stuff* you'll be hard ...

You could have a try at Arcanus too !
didn't play the game but reviews were good - some flaws but solid background, interesting rolerplay, lots of options, lengthy game... can be worth a look !

The 1078 hp "bolt" is the effect of a successful Sunray on undead : I got the same result on Kangaxx in its lich form !
Quite cool !
