I guess in my experience I just don't see where such broad based disabling is coming about with such enemies. For instance, dragons are typically throwing out damage via breath and wing buffets; they aren't exactly casting hold spells. Essentially, the same is true with ToB mages, which are ...

Well, that's why it's a matter of being a contingency - only use if it's absolutely needed. It's not like a number of chain and regular contingencies shouldn't be memorized in the first place.

In my opinion, the spell slots could be used much better than just a contingency for dispel magic ...

Ian Kognitow-

If you look at my original post on this thread, I said this:

"Minsc is the most natural to be replaced, though he does have value as an archer, since there seems to be a lack of ranged fighters (could be generally covered with Jaheira on sling)."

So given the notion that Sarevok ...

Since I had been specifically talking about ToB, every party member's saving throws should be pretty low, if not in some cases in negative territory. I can't really recall anything that would hold the entire party anyway--it's not like there are a lot of mages or anything still casting web (an even ...

Keldorn's double-level dispels are nice for early fights, but in ToB you should have your PC and Imoen using Remove Magic instead (x3 in a sequencer for maximum success), which keeps your own precious buffs intact. And with 4 other characters capable of True Sight, Keldorn's free ability isn't a ...

No worries,

explains HP at level up very clearly.

You're thinking Multi-Class.

Dual class characters only have slightly less HP than their full-classed counterparts of their first class.

e.g. Kensai->Thief has not much less HP than a full fighter, and much much more than a thief.

[QUOTE=rbeverjr]@Schu
You have chosen a very powerful party (for ToB). So, powerful, particularly with 6 characters and you choosing the best cheese (robe of Vecna), that it would be boring to some players - even more boring with the Bounty Hunter. Those that comment otherwise, may not really ...

[QUOTE=BG_DaDDy]ya, but too bad it isnt remove magic which is on enemy only, u will dispel ur own buffs as well. i think the constant hitting from carsyomer already suit well.[/QUOTE]

Remove mahic won't help you if your whole party is held or charmed (both of which the Inquisitor is conveniently ...

Imo undead hunter is better than inquisitor cuz fast true sight can be easily traded off with a mage with robe of vecna, and u won't use it so many times in one battle. (cleric can cast it too, just a bit slow but if u have low AC he wont get interrupted easily) Level drain is the most annoying ...

well if your playing in TOB anyway there aren't much traps so 3 dual classed thieves is a waste, esp for a figter which will alter their hp

??? 3 dual classed thieves? What are you talking about? I have 2 thieves (and one Blade that can pickpocket). Swashbuckler->Mage does all the lockpicking ...

[QUOTE=Da_venom]i'm not sure wheter you play single player or multiplayer with this party?
SOA or TOB?

either way it ain't perfect
always keep one mage or one cleric full class too cast some major spells
esp some high lvl spells

your tanks are also pretty weak since they barely got a skill that ...

Yeah, let's go for this party:

Assasain->Cleric (can't backstab anymore unless you actually manage to get thief HLAs in time)
Diviner (most of the divining spells you can get even if you're a conjurer)
Wizard Slayer->Druid (so the only magical items he's allowed to use, he can't use when he's ...

Under your guidelines (which I'm not sure I'd agree with), I'd go for a Swashbuckler->Mage (mage and thief, and can fight a bit too), Ranger/Cleric (priest that can tank quite well and knows all divine spells), Inquisitor (Tank that dispells) and an Archer.

However, were I not using your guidelines ...

OK guys are you posting in the right thread.....?

It's been pointed out to me that the stalker can't dual to a cleric because of its special spells. So it'll have to be a Ranger->Cleric, which is just as well because there are too many great full plate mails not to have 2 people wearing them.

Also ...

[QUOTE=Amran_X_Kaiser]Think after all this talk its about to put this theory to the test.

Alot of useful info so might give it a go - but for now I have a party of sic playing:

Half-elf Jester
Half-Orc Cleric/Thief
Human Totemic Druid
Elf Beastmaster
Dwarf Assassin
Gnome Illusionist

Going to die ...

[QUOTE=Amran_X_Kaiser]
If you play Beastmaster your just asking to be beaten up ![/QUOTE]

Obviously :) Damn Tree-huggers!

About the Avenger->Fighter: It really seems like a lot of trouble for a character that is probably only just better (or maybe isn't better) as a tank than, say, a Ranger ...

About the Stalker->Cleric: You might be right. I seem to remember having had some problems along those lines. Oh well, the Ranger->Cleric would probably be better anyway. I guess that means the beastmaster can't dual either.

About Avenger->Fighter: I agree it seems to be fairly decent (as far as ...

reply to the reply

So you have a total walking liability for most of the game. Sounds fun.

[QUOTE=BG_DaDDy]Kensai -> Mage cant wear elven chain mail. he cannot wear any armor beside robe.[/QUOTE]
You are right of course. What I was thinking of was the Robe of Vecna, which is better than elven chain mail.
