Hmm its a good idea to replace a thief-mage with thief/mage but if you dont wanna kick jan i suggest you just feed edwin to the pit fiend. He doesnt fit into an apparently neutral-good oriented party (unless your pc is evil and anomen failed his test) You wont lose much in terms of mage spells, immy ...

Instead of coming up with far-fetched idea of making a new game using old infinity engine, you can join many of the modding teams in IE communities (G3, SHS, PPG, BWL etc.). The new content added by mods are vast and a great deal of them are so good a first time player wouldnt notice the difference ...

Even with all these flashy high level spells mages are way behind thief and fighter in combats. With the latter two i can clear the first level of fortress of regrets in under two minutes but with an even high level mage it takes lifetimes (literally) if you do not depend on healing charms.

What am i doing wrong?

So i started another run of good ol' PsT with Qwinn's excellent mods aiming to get both level 7 and 12 upgrades as a mage, a first for me but i am extremely disappointed with mage class. Someone mentioned wreaking havoc on the battlefield with spells but how on earth can anyone do that? Seriously ...

There's a mod that allows Cromwell to upgrade ToB items -G3 Tweaks IIRC- you can try that out if you think it wont unbalance your game.

1. Just go south as much as you can dont worry about clicking the location marker, you'll end up there.

2. I think firearms master -forgot who or where- is the one who puts it to your map.

3. It's on 1500W 1443S try approaching it like razors pointe.

Hope this helps.

Just so I understand correctly magical aptitude is your dmg modifier for spells. So the more spells I learn the more my magical aptitude goes up right?

Correct. It also affects the bonuses you gain from magical equipment, that is the bonuses (the ones in paranthesis) are equal to the ...

I think for Raven to appear you must find Qintarra legitimately. If you teleported across the mountains she will not . You must either finish the quest given by Myrth, the elf in Stillwater, or take his amulet to herbalist half elf in Shrouded Hills.

Velorien's Blessing..(spoilers)

Hi, I have a little confusion with Velorien's blessing. I finished the game several times by also completing the ancient gods quest but recently i have found these two sources about it;

In SWCarter's walkthrough;

+12 pickpocket, +12 ...

I also played an elven archer in a party of 3 and although he was very effective upto mid levels he was not very useful in the high levels.still can't think of any other class that would be that effective. You can try the fighter archer kit in the Ease of use if you don't like rangers.

I suggest you to start with Tactics if you are not familiar with tactical mods.

SCS II can be too difficult if you crank up all the difficulties. It improves AI very well, but in the meantime makes (enemy) mages immensely powerful, a little imbalancingly in my opinion. Good part is you can install ...

#1. In Irenicus's dungeon every time you rest after the first time, you get a team of duergar attacking you. Fortunately it's AFTER you have been healed and the spells have been recharged, but it's very very VERY annoying. Not to mention the melee duergar is quite tough and the mage casts Chaos and ...

@Thrifalas
I'm sorry if i misinterpreted any of your posts, i'm not a native speaker.

There are numerous ways that the game does 'cheat', many are understandable in some way, but the Min1HP items which mean a cahracter/creature can't be killed in anyway, that is cheating big time, just to make up ...

Many people, including me consider doing things that enemies can't do against you as cheating, but there are a lot of different opinions about that. As for your example casting spells such as cloudkill or fireball from out of the fog of war is cheating but casting those spells to enemies who are ...

I think you can remove Blur effect from items by using some kind of editor (NearInfinity,DLTCEP etc.). To remove stoneskin effect i guess you should modify the spell itself but i dont recommend it since it may cause bugs. Maybe there is a mod somewhere that does this but i don't know any.

Rakshasas are immune to spells up to (and including) 7th level(maybe 8 i'm not sure) so Fireballs won't hit him :D . Try activating the feedback rolls so you can see whether you can't hit him due to your bad thac0 or something else. Are you by any chance fatigued?
