I suppose. It's just a multiplayer game with a 3-player group so I'll be exp capping early ToB the latest. Which is kinda annoying and would be fixed by dual classing into a slower progression class (such as Fighter; also, the proficiencies and THAC0 would synergize nicely with Blade). But bleh. I ...

Alright, thanks. I guess I'll be looking at Blade 40 then. Is there any mod that removes the dual class limitations that don't exist in actual AD&D?

I can't seem to wrap my head around how exactly dual classing works. I'm playing a Human Blade right now and intend on dual classing to Fighter on level 16-18 (haven't decided yet; it's the spell slots that interest me), and I'm not sure how the following would work:
-Do I keep my old proficiencies ...

Does anyone know if there's a chart for natural Attacks-progression and which classes exactly enjoy it? All I know is, it seems like casters and Thief (possibly Bard too? Haven't tested) enjoy no natural attack-progression whatsoever while Fighters, Rangers, Paladins, Barbs and Monks (at least) have ...

For some reason, Swashbucklers don't appear to get the extra ½ attack from specialization (still worth it for the +1/+2 in my opinion), perhaps because they don't get any Fighter-style extra attacks either. This leaves them 1½ attacks behind in the end. They also lack Greater Whirlwind as HLA, but ...

Wow, thanks a lot. I'll have to wait for the Gauntlets then, and in the meanwhile, sub some other sword to hand 2 for the duration of Whirlwind Attack. I can't begin to say, of how much help you've been.

[QUOTE=Nimiety]Nope - insane means that your opponants deal double damage to you and your party, not that you do double damage to your opponants.[/QUOTE]

He was hitting his own partymember. Are you sure, all damage is not amplified on Insane?

Ok, so after attaining Use All Items with my Elf-Thief, I finally got Scarlet Ninja-To +3 and use it with Adjatha, the Drinker (+2-weapon). Now, Elves are supposed to get +1-bonus to Long Swords, but my hit charts with Specialization in Scimitars and Long Swords and 3 points in two-weapon fighting ...

[QUOTE=Lark]On a side note:

If you wear the Cloak of Mirroring, you will not benefit from the 50% resistance to magic damage, that the Belt of the Inertial Barrier grants, because the cloak will prevent you from being exposed to that kind of damage in the first place. If you wear it just for the ...

Yea, we actually installed it earlier today and it helps a lot ^^ (natural 8, 4, 7, 11, 5>9, 6, 8, 12, 7) I also equipped the Cloak and immediately found out that it doesn't affect Imprisonment and Maze (Elder Orb imprisoned me>load, the mage in that stupid party Mazed me. Gah). I've got everything ...

Wow, incredible. Thanks a lot! Cloak, Belt, Equalizer and Ring of FA will give me almost complete set of protections and Greenstone Amulet fills in where need be. Heh, the Belt conveniently gives +5 Breath save too, even if it doesn't really matter all that much ^^ Just out of curiousity, what kind ...

EDIT: double post

Wow, thanks for the link! That more or less answers all my problems regarding protections and what works against what (save for Cloak of Mirroring, since that site only lists immunities and such, not mirroring -.-).

I think I'll get and keep a Greenstone Amulet with me for the sitiuations, I've got ...

Alright, thanks a lot, will do ^^ I take I should use Ring of Free Action too? I mean, Hold Person et company still pose a threat.

Thank you a ton, Lark. That pretty much answers all my questions. However, still about Cloak of Mirroring, where exactly is the limit? Does it only affect things that cause damage, or is it more indiscriminate tossing back all offensive spells? The description mentions Hold Person as something it ...

[QUOTE=Nimiety]First, I start off with a big +1 to Lark for the proper pluralization of "bonus" (and a hell of a great response).

Second, I believe that Dwarves and Gnomes get the best overall saves, if I recall correctly...

Third, out of curiosity, you've given the base saves, what are your ...

Alright, thank you Sytze and Lark. Regarding Cloak of Mirroring, does it not help me against spells like Confusion, Domination and company? Also, how does it interact with innate abilities?

Ring of Free Action and the Equalizer seems like a good combination only leaving Death-magic, Domination and ...

[QUOTE=JonIrenicus]Few questions:

What is your level?
What items are you using?

Even with those base you can still have VERY good saving throws. I hope you got the human flesh quest done, that item will help you a lot.

PS did you get both of Gaxx's rings?[/QUOTE]

Level 23, we opted not to bend ...

Alright, so me and my friend are playing through the game with a 2-character party right now, him playing a Cleric/Ranger and me playing single-classed Swashbuckler and I've run into little problems with my Saving Throws. I'm maxed out on levels and am left with base:
Death: 9
Wand: 6
Petrification ...
