Bodhi's avatar

Hazim ibn Gorion · Post by **Hazim ibn Gorion** » Sat Mar 24, 2001 11:03 pm

Here's a fun trick: I used Shadowkeeper to change the avatar of my evil female monk to Bodhi's avatar. Thought that kinky, thongy, S&M look would be good for my nasty girl. But it works even better than I thought it would. Her attacks are claws, kicks, and the occassional bite, so it's at least a bit monkish. Also, she runs when she moves, which looks correct with the added rate of movement for a monk.

But the real fun is in the ways she moves when she's not fighting. In the game, we hardly ever see her not either fighting or at least in her gangly, vampire fighting stance. And when we do, it only lasts for a second, so you don't notice the subtleties. For one, she drums her thighs when she's just standing there, like she couldn't be more bored. Also, you should see (but only if you're over 17) the way she moves when you have her cast a spell with a long casting time (like her innate Draw on Holy Might). It's positively pornstar!

Only drawback is that since you're not using a playable avatar, she doesn't change at all when you change equipment, and there's not paperdoll on your inventory screen. But, hey...that just adds to the mistique.

Hazim, meaning no disrespect by this, but still, you should find yourself a nice, young lady.

I've always wanted to give a solo mage Irenicus's avatar, portrait and soundset. I'm sure someone's done it already, but that battle on the Tree of Life would make for some interesting screenshots.

I think Elminster's avatar is the best looking mage avatar.

Do you ever get to meet Volo in any of the Infinity games, and who is he?

He looks like somekind of stereotypic french snobb (Volo)(no offence meant to any french ppl). And he really doesn't look like a mage.

Exactly my thought. He's more of a bard. He acts more like a bard too...

Yep, reminds me a little bit of his near-namesake in the old Ultima series, Iolo.

I don't think Volo from BG1 is the Volo. I took a look at his stats and he was just some lvl.5 nobody.

kopywrite · Post by **kopywrite** » Sun Mar 25, 2001 11:26 am

According to the manual, *the* Volo is a lvl 5 nobody.

Ro´Jadre · Post by **Ro´Jadre** » Sun Mar 25, 2001 11:27 am

And which level is Elminster in BG1? And, nothing concerning levels are the same in the Infinity games as in P&P.

<edited>Is Volo famous in any way then? And if not, why are they having him in the game, and even more, in the manual (at least in BG2)?</edited>

yeah but he's a famous level 5 nobody if you see what I mean.

Elminster is lvl.29 in BG1 just as in BG2.
As for Volo I don't know much about PnP but I would think it takes more than a lvl.5 guy to write a guide on the Realms?

Elminsters around lvl 30 in the game- I think they copied his stats to use with Irenicus but I could be wrong...

poor old Elminster doesnt go up a level in all that time? He must be the only character in a BG game to have that difficulty

Getting from lvl 29 to lvl 30, multi-class, requires a LOT of XP. He'd have to kill a few nests of dragons for that

Is Elminster multiclassed? What classes?
