The journey for my party has continued. I did change the difficulty from insane to core and lucky for me. My sorcerer who has 45 HP's received a hit for 24. At insane that would have killed him. Instead my beserker came to his rescue and he cast a few spells to get even.

I've started to clear out ...

Yes. If they are grayed out I don't resurrect them. I just picture myself walking through a cemetary with the rod of resurrection and zapping all the graves. What a site that would be. I can rationalize hit point loss being wounds that deminish fighting ability and when zero you received a life ...

I had a crash when a character had some items. I just deleted the items and then recreated the items from SK after the import. Also make sure you have at least 300 MB of temp space.

Try uninstalling the game and then delete the directories. This wipes the place clean and you can now reinstall.

I do have to admit that since I am going no reload then maybe I'll go back to core rules. That 40 damage from a dagger has scared me. I'll change the name to Chicken Little.

I'm pretty new to the boards. Why was this topic bumped? Are there some rules I can read. Thanks.

Ned,

I originally was not going to use the wand, but use the spell. After thinking about it the wand is OK to use under certain circumstances. Since most monsters have dumb AI and just sit there taking the damage, I felt that I first need to cast something like web. Then cloudkill would be like ...

I'll move my comments from my topic on real roleplaying to this one if it's OK with you guys. Instead of using the NPC's I created a party of 4. My main character is an undead hunter. I also have a NG berserker that I will dual to a thief at level 12, a LG sorcerer and a CG swashbuckler that I'll ...

In case anyone cares I started my adventure yesterday. I put the game on insane and added all the tough monsters that I could find from the different sites. My first time was with the evil party from above. Let me tell you that this is tough. Real roleplaying is not doing things just because I know ...

Ned,

I've read that thread. Some interesting posts. Any idea on which combo to try out?

I also won't replace party members. I've sort of viewing it as this is the group I came with and it's do or die. I'll temporarily add a NPC for the quest but kick them out when it's done.

BTW- Do you know od ...

Underdog,

Good points. I intend to stick to the party alignments. My argument against wands is that it can be used 50 times in a single battle. Where a spell is limited to 5 or 6 times and it takes away from other spells.

Even though it might be thin, I can rationalize the party going on. There ...

My Version of Real Roleplaying

I've read many of the posts here and have decided to create a party that should offer some real fun. First the ground rules. No reloads. If someone dies they're dead, no resurrection. If the main person dies I'll try to carry on with the remaining members (using a save SK and CULA). Not sure if I ...

Why a ranger/cleric and not a fight/cleric? What does the ranger have that the fighter doesn't and that the cleric side can't replace. Just curious.
So is a two member party of MC's mage/thief and fighter(ranger)/cleric the best for my original question? Finally, a dual kensai/thief doesn't give the ...

That's what I want to do. No deaths no reloads. ANd since I haven't played TOB nor have I explored all areas in SOA it should be a challenge. That is another reason why I want the thief, cause some traps can kill you outright. Does anyone know if the XP cap remover for SOA work on TOB? If that's the ...

Special Party

I'm looking for that special party that I can take from the start of SOA to the end of TOB. This party should have the least number of members (1?) as possible and I won't have any NPC's except for their specific quests. I need thief skills for the traps and would like to have an evil cleric type if ...

Swashbuckler +100HP bug TOB

I wanted to start a new game in TOB but with a different character and items. So I created a swashbuckler in SOA using ShadowKeeper (old version?) and gave him among other things the ring of free movement. In TOB I put it on shortly after starting and I found that my HP's went up by 100! When I took ...

This may be a silly question but why would the kensai/mage beat the sorcerer? The above posted basically say that the fighting ability of the monk are nothing against the magic of a maxed out mage. And the sorcerer has 1 extra spel for levels 1 to 8 and two extra level 9 spells. It seems to me that ...
