hello all

i think its time for a nother BUMP!!!!!!

sorry about that, i've been very busy last time with the celebreting of our most beloved event Carnaval!

so after 4 weeks of hangovers and hard work on our carnaval parade wagon the time has come for my to visit Gamebanshee again

i also played BG2 again today, i went on with my assassin/mage, which is now only an mage but i only need 1 more lvl and then the party can get started

i have a party with Anomen, Keldorn, Minsc, Aerie and Jan
and a 7th men Telk

i saw him first in the sewers and right now i'm doing the unseeying eye queest and this guy followed me everywhere and fought on my sight.
strange aint?
btw when he dies i do get some exp. but i like the fellow so when he did i reloaded

Not dead, just migrated (I'm mostly in SYM these days).

some things have just been beaten to death, but the shadow mages live on.
i made a good shadow mage in arcanum. highest skill level in force magic, conveyance, and summoning. as well as a master in lockpicking and pickpocketing.

@Nael, I played Arcanum but didn't really spend too much time on it. IMO it was a good concept poorly executed. Once IWDII and NWN come out there'll be plenty of new Shadow Mage techniques for me to develop though.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

*bump*

@Sojourner, no bumping this thread, please. It's huge. It's gotten a lot of posts. If it's time has come to pass into oblivion (at least for a while), let it do so. A lot of people have other concerns, and this thread just may have been done (for the time being) to death.

If you have something important to put up, by all means, go for it. Otherwise, let's allow it to take up resident status in the undead portion of the category. It will make a fine and dignified Lich.

I agree with fable....don't bump the topic anymore.....

BTW...

I started a new game because these days i'm home with the flu....so my party is:
Althya (me: warrior/assassin...lot of damage with high backstabb....long live shadowkeeper)
Korgan (i cannot play without him)
Mazzy (the first time i really take her for a long time)
Jaheira (romance+druid spells....)
Edwin (same as Korgan...)

This is the basic party....in the beginning i had Anomen.....died forever...i don't restart when a character permanently dies....
Then i took Valygar.....i had good projects with this guy....but the trolls in Nalia's keep killed him permanently....So now i have paladin Keldorn

This is a figthing party, i know....but after a lot of spellcasting parties in the past i wanted to try a new experience....

In the end.....this game is really GREAT!!! I mean, i've played it so many times.....but every time is different from the one before.....i really love this game.....

PS: if there are new guild followers, don't forget to rate me 5 stars....

Can my fallen paladin join you? I became the opposit after the game cursed me despite a long and good service on the name of Helm.
I will dual-class in mage.

My party is REALLY strong!!!
I'm in ToB now....i'll let you know more when i'll finish the game.....
Anyway, Mazzy is really great with the Tunigan Bow.....
And my fighter/assassin, now with x7 backstabb deals 120 damage to everyone with celestial fury.....and this is the medium damage.....

hi everyone, i have just received word that i have been allowed to join! so on to strategies n stuff: anyone got any for a sorceror? i.e what speels i should choose etc. currently my most used are chromatic orb, protection from normal weapons, magic missle, contingency, tensers trans, and spirit armor.
inspired by this thread i recently started an assasin/mage, and he is doing pretty well soloing. just got my thief skills back yesterday (i dualed at lvl 10, since i wanted 100 in both lock picking and trap finding, the most useful skills) and i just mutilated the shade lord and his dungeon (except the dragon) in about three minutes

Get Melf's Minute Meteors - an assassin/mage can poison those.

Wraithlord · Post by **Wraithlord** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 3:44 am

Its not fair! how come i only got one post and one reply? i must find some way of drawing attention to this topic again! (**goes and pulls out a cleric slave, captured from the league of divinity**lol)

Stupid @ss cleric casts ressurect: Shadow Mages topic

Wraithlord: You have served you purpose!

Wraithlord casts disintegrate: Stupid @ss Cleric

Stupid @ss Cleric: Death

As you can see, i HATE clerics....anyone who sees this want to talk about this point? or anything? come on for the love of Talos!!! (oh the irony)

WARNING: im gonna keep doing this till someone replies:

**BUMP**

@wraithlord - how do you know of the league of divinty? were you a member by a idfferent name before? or did you read through our whole topic?
or perhaps....you're a spy!!!!!!!

Wraithlord · Post by **Wraithlord** » Tue Apr 09, 2002 5:51 am

lol, a spy from who?!?
i didnt read the whole topic, but a fair deal of it. i got about half way through the war with the leage, and being that thieves and mages are just plain better i assumed they won, and they did! go shadow mages!

a spy from the goody goody "our power is granted by the gods, you can't stand a chance" posse, also known as the previously mentioned league of divinity, or the other ms. goody-two-shoes the tree huggers...

cast prot. from evocation and then cast cloudkill in the smack of the melee types, you're immune and can simply run around the area when they're chasing you, or turn invis after that...

Heh, good to see the old thread still has some life left in it.

It's been a while since I last heard anything from the LoD (League of Divinity). They've been defunct since the Pope left. Kind of a shame though (where's the fun in having a guild without someone to bicker with?).

that was the problem right from the start, we are too good... no-one can match us so they can't bicker with us long 'cause they'll lose

well, some of the best spam was when the mages and thieves were still seperate.

lots of guilds came and went, only the shadow mages remain. there attempts at fighter ones, i think one was called the sword saints or somethign like that. a monk one was tried, the nature one for druids and ranger.

but only the shadow mages with their pet orca live on!
