well said U-nig

i'm not soloing a ranger/cleric though and i'm just gathering all my party members now.

my party should be looking like this in the end:
me (FoA, Crom)
korgan (Frostreaver, Stonefire)
hear'dalis (Fury,Daystar,Blackrazor)
viconia (Maulers Arm, MoD)
jan (cutthroat, some nic crosbow)
edwin (staf of magi)

i only need Hear'dalis now and i'm on me way to get him, i played the meavar,trademeet, copper corronet slaves, and Nalia'hold quest.

after i got Hear'dalis i do the umar Hills and get my stronghold (read: moondog figure

) and after that Planer Sphere, Windspear, unseeying eye, Kangaxx, Bodhi, underdark ect.
And i have to pick up some weapons to (Fury, Staff of magi, stonefire, MoD)

so i have much to do until ToB comes out, i think i will just make it in time.

I had a ranger/cleric in Icewind Dale. She worked fairly well, especially given HoW's 30th level experience cap. The combo should be even more effective now that ToB is raising the bar to 40.

P.S. Anyone here wish the ranger tracking ability was in the Baldur's Gate games? I thought it was cool being able to discern what type of monsters were in an area the first time through.

i think for TOB, trackign will be available to rangers. not sure, check that thread about special abilities in TOB

@ thedude : well, you still have 4 days left or so. If the release date is correct at least.

Does anyone know which spells belong to the druid and which to the cleric? Does anyone know a rule for that?

Your opinion please:

Whats better to go solo? Ranger(stalker)/cleric or swashbuckler/cleric?

U_Niq · Post by **U_Niq** » Sat Jun 02, 2001 9:39 am

and what should be the best weapons/ equipment for them?

U_niq

Stalker Cleric is better,you get druid spells, you get backstab and you get the same or better Thac0 more weapon profiencies.
But if you need the thieving skills, it depends on your party if you already have a thief I would take a stalker cleric.

An I have a question about Tob, every (well almost) dualclasses his thief because when you reach level 10 you have enough skills for the whole game.
But will the traps locks and al the other stuff in ToB need a higher percentage to pick or disarm.
Or can you do it with just a low level thief?

we'll have to play the game to know that

You can always use knock.

@ RA : I almost always solo so i have to choose between thief skills and the stalker advantages.

1 question
is a guild the same as a clan (group of players that form a team in most multiplayer games) but with a different name so it is more baldur gateish???

Not exactly. It's more of a place where people with similar tactics and preferences can hang out and discuss related matters or help out newbies. When Neverwinter Nights comes out there will probably be some online play but for now we mostly swap techniques and spam.

where is everybody?

Kayless · Post by **Kayless** » Sun Jun 03, 2001 1:00 pm

I was wondering that myself, U_Niq.

i've been lurking, just not a whole lot to add to the conversation at this point.

Dont we have another topic we can discuss?

TheDude · Post by **TheDude** » Tue Jun 05, 2001 6:50 am

what is the most stupidest thing u have ever done with your pc or the biggest mistake u made in the game??

i think it was going to hell with my solo sorceror without buying enough spel scrolls
i needed some haste spells for my pets but i forgot them so i couldn't kill Irenicus now

(here is our topic

)

nael · Post by **nael** » Tue Jun 05, 2001 9:31 am

did you really have a hard time in hell with a solo sorcerer? i guess i used a bit of a cheat since i used wish to summon a horde of bunnies to distract the demons and such and then summoned a bunch of mordenkain's swords to finish them off. then a couple of breach spells, and turn into the slayer once the mordenkain's swords disappeared to mop the floor with irenicus.
