Ah, thanks for the advice. I started the game already, but I'm only the Horde Fotress so far, and I'm already thinking I made a mistake with the Pal/Clr character. I stupidly didn't realize at first that tensors is a self-only spell, and requires 11 wizard levels to cast. Without either that, the +5 ...

I'm trying to make a HoF party with just 3 PCs (more challenge, faster advancement, and I don't like dealing with 6 characters. 3 seems like the minimum I would need to do HoF.) It seems like the three best characters to have for this would be your characters 1,3 and 4. Here's my dillemma: One of ...

Thanks for your reply, but I don't think you understood my first question. I understand how the penalties work in theory, but I was asking about those specific examples, because they are somewhat ambiguous. In the case of the CX/F4/T3, would the penalty be 40% because I have 2 classes which are more ...

exp penalty questions

I'm trying to play through the game with only two characters, and I had some questions. So far in the game, both of my characters are Aasimar, one is Fighter3/Wizard4, the other is Thief3/Cleric4 and both just gained a level that I haven't applied yet. The reason I took Aasimar was to get the extra ...

Ranger, just because. I'm not a powergamer, I'm not trying to make a perfect party or anything, I just want to go through the game with two characters, and I don't really want either of them to be pure fighters.
I'm going 20/10 with the wizard/cleric because I want level 9 wizard spells, and cleric ...

2-person party?

Hey everyone. I've played through most of the game once before, until I lost my saves, and I wanted to play through again, only this time with a 2-person party, just for a challenge. I don't want to tailor the characters to make them perfect or anything, but I don't want them to be useless either. I ...

There's no real spoiler in this thread anyway.
And what's the point in putting it in black? I can read the black text just as easily as the white without highlighting it. If you want to make it impossible to read without highlighting, then it should be the same colour as the background, which is ...

I was wondering the same thing - I remember picking up the staves of air and fire in the game, but when I went to use them, they were gone - I figure I must have dropped them at some point when I was given an item. So, I just CLUAd new ones in, but I couldn't use any of their powers, because they ...

I know for a fact that it isn't a problem with my keyboard, and I've already tried both reinstalling the game, as well as completely uninstalling it and installing it again.

Well, I'm around day 40 or so at the beginning of chapter 7.

I usually only rest when ...

Andyr, no, it specifically says when you right-click the bow that it is not usable by bards. And I made sure my character had 18 strength just so he could use the bows.

Drizzt being incredibly annoying *Spoilers*

At the beginning of chapter 6, I *stupidly* asked Drizzt for help in invading Bodhi's lair. Turns out that was a bad idea. He keeps stealing all of my kills, and worse, he attacks and kills any of my characters who become charmed. The first time I tried going through, he single-handedly killed Bodhi ...

Keyboard not working properly in the game

Hey, I don't know if anyone else has ever had this problem, but it didn't occur at all on my old computer, and it doesn't happen in any other games on this computer.

Basically all that happens is I have to hit a key 5 or 10 times while in the game for anything to happen. During character creation ...

Astafas: I didn't choose my proficiencies for that part of the game, I chose them because with the party I'm making, nobody else will be using long bows, and bards have a bit of an AC problem which can be fixed with a good shield (That one in adventurer's mart gives -4AC, -7 vs missiles, for example ...
