The thing is, I wanted to use some magic. Rune magic gives some nice buffs (and is buffed with several of these classes), and adept also opens up some celestial magic. What I didn't want to do is completely rely on magic for damage, meaning no offensive damage dealing spells. That is the alternate ...

I read somewhere that some game has a bug: transferred dead characters act as if they were alive, but their status is "dead" and it can't be changed. I don't remember the name of the game - GoldBox series are big. You can try it yourself and see their status. If something is wrong, you can transfer ...

My congratulations :) And some advices for Blades:

1. Don't sell gems at the beginning of the game, you need them. There is a bank, you can deposit money, gems and items there.

2. If you find a locked chest and don't have a thief yet, you can remove one of your chars from party, create a thief ...

You can't return to the hideout. You can find a training hall and the facilities in every big city. Now go to the Standing Stone via Ashabenford and then to Hap.

Not shops. There is one shop, where you have to go through the whole map every time when you are short of arrows.

You need money. You can buy the best arrows, healing potions and something else later. They are very expensive. Never use potions of strength (as well as Girdle of Giant Strength), it causes to a nasty bug.

Dualling to mage from warrior on level 9/10 is not bad because this character won't have to fight much. He always has a lot of magic work. Clerics, on the contrary, better dual on level 13/15. They are more figthers than spellcasters.

Blomdor, the game is difficult. Who told it was easy? Use ...

or alternatively just do what I did in Pool and change parties again in the sequel. That way I don't have to worry much about HP rolls till Blades.
Yes, it's a wise decision. You lose nothing. Equipment can't be transferred from CotAB to SotSB. Newly created characters will have more HP if you ...

1. In Pools of Darkness you need 2 Magic Users, 2 Clerics and 1 Thief. They should be dualclasses, of course. The others can be pure warriors or you can dual them too if you want to have more spellcasters.

2. You surely need to dual your chars. Having multiclass chars in PoD is a very bad idea. I ...

Movement bug

I’ve found a way to avoid the movement bug in CotAB. You need to unready all equipment in PoR before transferring your party. Some equipment affects char’s stats, and it is surely a reason of this bug.

Maybe someone needs this information.

There is actually only one archer class - Hunter -> Ranger Lord in the Thieves Guild - and it is the worst choice. All ranged weapons are weak, extremely weak. You will end up with melee weapons and magic, but your heraldry will give you useless bonuses to a ranged combat.

Did anybody start with T’rangs in Wizardry 7 (imported party)? Is it really bad? Can I befriend with everybody if I start with T’rangs?

kmonster, thanks again. You are right of course, but what a pity.

Hi, everybody! :)

Kmonster, could you help me once more, please? I am replaying these nice series now and I am playing POD on the Champion level. I don’t get extra XP. The manual says that I should be rewarded by receiving more experience points from my combat encounters. But I get the same amount ...

The Gauntlets of Light Burden are mentioned in the official Prima guide (which, to be fair, may not have been published in Russian); they are only available on the top of that tower after your party has managed to escape the Dwarven Dungeons.
Yes, I haven’t read that guide.

The problem with those ...

There is one good item in the game, which is not mentioned in any walkthrough.

Gloves of Light Weight (I don’t know the exact English name of this gloves, because I have a Russian version of the game). It gives -50 to weight. You don’t need to wear it, you can just keep it in an inventory. This ...

You need only savegame files. There are two files for every saved game there.

I had a graphic problem some years ago. My characters were invisible in some locations, I could only see their skeletons. If you have the same problem, try to update a video driver, this helped me.

kmonster, thanks. One more question. I am in the Dragon’s aerie now and am going to the Thorne’s cave. But all my equipment perishes while passing Limbo. I can leave my equipment to Elminster, but then we have to fight barehanded against dragons: no weapon, no armor, etc. Only spells remain. Is it ...

kmonster, I have left Phlan and have visited Vala’s cave. I need a training hall and a shop to identify some items now. Where should I go next?

I've started SotSB just now, so I can replay. I found out a new feature - difficulty levels, and wanted extra XP, of course. I’ll play on the normal level then.

kmonster, thanks. I’m sorry for annoying you so long. If I knew about great difficulty, and 40 levels in PoD, and other details, I would ...
