thanks! :)
I agree on Saerileth, the voice acting seemed pretty terrible to me.
Like the recorded microphone was half broken or something? Brr, I don't like playing with her.
And her personal quest is soo ridiculous. Wasn't that area ripped from Planescape torment?

stackable spell immunity spells?

Just wondering...
Casting two spell immunities (protection against different schools of course) will not cause your char avatar to display two spell immunity icons. I was fighting a lich a couple of days ago, and the bastard still removed my buffs using remove magic, while I had spell immunity ...

Antimagic are soo cheesy, I'd rather not use them.
I managed to finish the unseeing eye quest, using this strategy:

1/ Mislead! This is so essential.
2/ Spell Immunity: Necromancy to counter 'serious wounds'
2/ Have one lowly summon ready
3/ Beholders cast death spell: summon dies. You summon the ...

Hiya again,

Okay, I need some tips and tricks from you guys...
How do you handle liches and powerful mages as a blade?

How in the world am I supposed to kill the lich north of the thieves guildhall (tactics mod)?
She casts timestop, spelltrap, prot. from magic weapons, spell turning (not minor one)
After that ...

I'll upgrade my report with screenshots tonight or tomorrow.

I am really having trouble with my THAC0 progression...
I saw bards get a base THAC0 of 10 at level 22 but it doesn't improve after that
Fighters get 0 at level 21... That sucks!

I've equipped girdle of strenght > 19 > +2 THAC0 bonus
Is there any arcane spell that further recudes this tohit rate ...

After a couple of tries, I destroyed the slavers in the slums district. Getting there via the sewers is extremely dangerous since the all mob you at once, but escaping (after a bow critical hit to the nearest enemy) + waiting for them to come after me > skull trap: 3 slavers dead, couple injured ...

Okay I started and I picked the Blade, sorcerer would have been way too cheesy, might have kept that one for my second solo project. I can't go into detail right now, I'm about to go to bed. I finished the first level of Irenicus' dungeon with A LOT of trouble and A LOT of teeth grinding and ...

Okay I think I ruled out the swashbuckler/cleric for now: I've played with /cleric combinations my last Irenicus run (ranger) and I really want arcane magic for this solo. I think I'll also scratch the socerer ...

HLAs and dual class question

Hello,


Simple question:
for instance, I'm a thief/cleric dual classed at level 10 or so.
Can I receive spike traps or use any item HLA's, or can you only pick from the cleric skill traits?

(I guess so, you can probably pick both if you MULTI classed, right?)


Thanks

solo tips needed - deciding blade or thief(+kit)/mage

Hello all,


I'm currently trying to decide which class to pick as a solo adventure throughout Athkatla e.d. while Throne of Bhaal also installed. We at shrimp refuge ( here for the Dutch ) started gathering a few people who are interested in doing a solo run (mostly for the first time). I'd like to ...
