I don't know what to give him. He's a Elven Fighter mage. I'm probably looking at dualling weapons.

Crom with Flail of Ages/Celestial Fury are popular choices.

Or you can just read this or that

Or you can just do a search on "dual wield" in this forum.

Good luck!

For an elven fighter mage, hook him up with Long and short swords, then add in Basterd and Katanas if you have slots. Long and Short just a) look cool, b) are good for roleplaying purposes.

Since you're an elf, go for longswords. It makes sense RPG-wise, you get an extra + 1 to hit and there are really good longswords available right from start (Daystar being one of my favorites).

i think you're mixing up staff of magi and daystar

staff is in the bridge district and daystar is in the gate (crooked crane inn) there is infact a lich in there, but you can use a thief to sneak in pick the chest get the sword and use the sunray of the sword to kill the lich...

Exactly. Or just leave the lich for later since he won't exit the hidden tomb. Its' fun to see him work on his defences while you calmly walk in, open the chest, steal his tresures and exits.

What do you mean? I've done this at least ten times with Jan. Go in, open, take, go out.

Cheese sandwich?? What the frick! :confused: :confused:

Anyways, warhammers really arent that smart of a choice for off the start. I suggest katanas seriously if you want damage, or flail. DoE is awesome, as is FoA.
Only good warhammer is Crom, and by then you can put a slot into it. For AC bonuses, get D'Z katana, and DoE. Both have AC bonuses I think. Kind of like having a shield +1 as well as 2 wpns.
