I'd throw in a Kensai that I'd dual-class to thief. The thief's HLA "use any Items" negates all of the Kensai's drawbacks and the Kensai goes well with the thief part. Grand-mastery in Long Swords or Katanas + Kai + Backstab can take out almost every single enemy in the game with one hit.

I'd ditch ...

Item Upgrade Mod buggy

Hello there,

i've installed the Weidu Item Upgrade Mod and it does not work correctly. More specifically whenever I have one of the items required for the "ring of elemental mastery"

Ring of Air Control
Ring of Earth Control

I never based my gameplay on healing. It is simply too unreliable, with long casting and interrupts.





That's exactly what I am feeling. I was talking rather about healing after fights. It annoys me to run around with a party that has only half of its HP and to rest during 20 days (I always ...

Hi,

I was wondering with which party you normally do these tactics/ scsii runs. Please don't post solo :D

In the party stworca suggested I'm kinda missing a high level cleric. So, how do you handle the healing/party-buffing part? I can see ways to work around the party buffing, but how do you ...

Yes I did. Actually it wasn't all that hard. I had already done WK + Underdark and visited them just before the final encounter with Irenicus when my whole party was pretty high lvl and had HLA's. By this time they all had really low Saving throws and awesome resistances from their gear, HLA's...etc ...

In the Underdark did you disguise as Drow or just crusade through and kill all the drow? On the way back you should wipe out that nest of thieves on the docks.

My PC is a paladin of the most noble order of the radiant heart. There's simply no way he would disguise as a drow and sneak around in ...

I thought I'd give you a little update on the crusade party. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed, as the party turns out to be too strong :D It's hardly a challenge.

Although the party seems grossly unbalanced at first glance (they all need the same kind of items and have the same way of dealing ...

This is the most awesome party idea in ages. :cool: Level 1 NPCs might be helpful - these days I never play without it.
Just a couple of suggestions:
Minsc should totally be a barbarian (as a general rule), but I'd keep him as a two-handed weapon user. Swords not words!

is a melee only party viable?

Hello again,

I'm creating yet another PC for yet another run. This time I'd like to go all melee because I've realized I don't really like all this spell-casting and buffing stuff. I'd rather be butt-kicking for goodness. So, this time I'd like to have a party that's on a crusade. On a crusade ...

Hi,

I'm just on a play-through with a dwarven fighter/cleric and I can just say that he's really powerful. I don't think that the multi-class is a serious disadvantage. I feel that a cleric doesn't really need all that spell-slots he gets by being single-classed, well at least I never found to be ...

well thanks to galraen, it did work like you said. Might add though that the PoL/fighter multi seems almost to powerful.

How to create a Fighter/Priest of Lathander Multi

Hi,

I've decided to create a new party with a fighter/cleric multi as PC. I'd really like him to be a priest of lathander/fighter. I know you need SK to do so but now I've tried and it doesn't seem to work. It does say "Priest of Lathander" in the charscreen but he doesn't get the special abilities ...

Well I'd like to add that soloing is, imho, way easier. I just soled the game with a lvl13 kensai/mage and once your mage hits a certain lvl (for me it was around 20) everything becomes ridiculously easy. I have the tactics mod installed and the poison encounter outside WK gave my full 6 party a ...

But then you'll also have to launch BG2 as an administrator which 1) made the graphics of the game kinda buggy and 2) made all the save-games I had from before (from when I launched it as non administrator) disappear.

Where did you install BG2? Make sure you didn't install it under the programs86 ...

well I've traveled several times thorugh Alktahla now but the guy didn't show up. I'll be setting sail to Spellhold now. Well at least Jaheira won't leave the party then. Although I would have liked to get the ring of acuity and the Harpers pin for her. Well, though luck I guess.

Thanks

I've decided to add Jaheira to the party because I'm kind of find of her.

I've completed all the quests in Atkathla and allmost all of the side quests.

However, Jaheira's quest where you get taken to the Harper building for questioning doesn't trigger. Is there any way to force ...

Well, thanks for the clarifications. So maybe I'll shave a few points off INT if needed but, as I said, I like to roleplay a bit so I'm not entirely comfortable with having a sorceror that is as "intelligent" as Minsc.

Hi folks,

I'm new to this forum so I'd like to say hello first. I've decided to re-install BG2 lately while waiting for Diablo III (I know, that might still take some time since it will be done when it's done :rolleyes: ). I hope there's still some people around here considering the age of the game ...
