Halfling Clerics?

Post by Garrett »

Allright I decided to have some fun and make an interesting char. I went ahead and made a halfling cleric. He's awesome! Much better than any human cleric. I took out both of those druids in the woods next to The Friendly Arm Inn alone. But when I was making him I noticed I couldn't get more than 17 wisdom. I thought only gnomes suffered a wisdom penalty! Whats up with this!

I haven't tried a halflin cleric but i do enjoy making odd characters. This was some of my bg2 party members:
halfling barbarian
dwarven theif

About the wisdom mess. Bioware probably screwed wisdom for the halfing and never bothered to fix it believing nobody would play with one.

Really annoying, isn't it, especially since WIS really helps your clerics in this game. I'd just CLUA in a Tome of Wisdom and fix that little problem.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

'They receive a bonus to their dexterity, and incur a penalty to their strength'

- P. 83, BG Manual.
'We've dug our holes and hallowed caves, Put goblin foes in shallow graves, This day our work is just begun, In the mines were silver rivers run

Beneath The Stone the metal gleams, Torches shine on silver streams, Beyond the eyes of spying sun, In the mines where silver rivers run

The hammers chime on mithril pure, As dwarven mines in days of yore, A craftsman's work is never done, In the mines where silver rivers run

To Dwarven gods we sing our praise, Put another orc in a shallow grave, We know our work has just begun, In the land where silver rivers run'
