Gods can't shift to prime material plane if I remember right....the only exception was that time when they all were kicked out and had to walk the lands of mortal men....

So you backstab with a fireball do you? ;)

You should probably have lots of ...

Shadow Armer, Short Sword of Backstabbing or maybe if he can use it the Long Sword +2, and these boots of stealth or what they call them.....

Azuth?</STRONG>

What about Cyric...he was actually kind of adventuring, too....well after that he killed a few gods....but who didn't?

I didn't say so...thick was probably the wrong word to use...what I meant was, that Boromir is not exceptionally intelligent(whilst his brother Faramir is), he ain't thick...he is kind of ...well...forgetting to ...

Actually it depends on what you are fighting...a nice little Nishruu is really cool against some stupid mages, including Jon Irenicus...he is just so cute always healing the Nishruu with his spells, wasting them and losing even more when the Nishruu hits.....it is really a great summon.

Altogether ...

Nope...but all the stuff like spells etc. make up for that...however being a fallen paladin you are more or less just a fighter who can't specialize......

And thick as hell? Oh no that would probably not fit him right...however there ain't anything like arrogance or something.

Actually Boromir(just as Aragorn, although with him it depends if you want strider or the actual elassar) would need lots of charisma...

Well yes...thats the evil party...but if you play good or neutral and want to ...

That might be because messing up the stronghold quest with a paladin means you are not worth ...

<STRONG>They are immune to the psionic blast stun and, oddly enough, seem to have enough INT to last a while though.

Might that just be cause skeletons are dead and don't have an actual brain the mind flayers could suck?

Well he is tougher. It is not just you that profites from the higher XP cap....he is way stronger, too. However bigger changes come with his allies, as they even use cloudkill which they would not without TotSC....


About the other thing....it doesn't actually matter when you get the other party ...

Luckily they have lots of doors in the parts where there are mind flayers. Open a door rock them with a cloudkill, close the door. Usually you can do that one or two times...but as nearly every hallway has a door you can retreat and play the game again a door back....

Works. Umber Hulks hate ...

Thnx

Actually it is just a thing you some time should have tried with the pantalons...otherwise what comes out is pretty useless for proper gameplay for a few reasons....it is just funny to see what you can look like with three strange pairs of trowsers

Absolutely, best way to play Baldurs Gate is probably starting alone or with just one or two companions, clearing out the wildernes Areas. As soon as you get to decent levels you can take up another companion and another one and so on....they are quite low with their experience, but that won't ...

I agree on that...though...the freakin three adventurers in Abazigals Layer could do that, too....damn....gotta find something else ...

You can get some gold and gems in some of the little mountain ranges at the area where you can enter that layer of this dragon guy...what's his name again.....

Actually I play with a Male Fighter/Cleric (Human though) at the Moment. Starting Stats:

St: 18
Dex: 18
Con: 18
Int: 10
Wis: 18
Cha: 10

a little higher Charisma would probably have been better....but whatever.

Using Bassilus`Hammer, shield +1, boots of avoidance, spells mostly raise undead, cure ...
