I guess we’ll have to have a eulogy for them (just what I need, more speech writing ). Alas, poor Dude and U_Niq. If only ToB had arrived a bit sooner. We'll mourn your passing.

You bring up a good point, but it's important to remember that although in the long run you're better off as a pure class, in the short term it's very effective. Dual wielding is going to give you extra attacks and if you multiclass to ranger early (say Ftr 1/Rng 1) you're going to have a big early advantage over folks who take their time to do things the old fashioned way. Furthermore, in Neverwinter Nights getting to level 20 is supposed to be damn hard (the in-game campaign will only take a character to around level 10 or so).Originally posted by Xyx:
<STRONG>Not that cheap, actually... Suppose that NWN caps out at level 20. If you're a level 20 Fighter, you'll have 4 attacks per round. If you're a level 19 Fighter with 1 level of Ranger, you'll have only 3 attacks per round. I'll take the extra attack over the "free" dual wield every day.</STRONG>
Monk’s can’t multiclass in Neverwinter Nights(or so folks tell me).Originally posted by Xyx:
<STRONG>Same goes for (what I consider) even more "powerful" combinations such as Sorcerer with a level of Monk (AC and save bonus) or Paladin (weapon abilities, lay on hands, even bigger save bonus). Is that worth two level 9 spells per day?</STRONG>

I'm really interested in NWN...but now i have to think about finishing ToB and then starting a new game with BGI, II and ToB....then i'll start thinking at NWN.....

Maybe tomorrow, when ToB is not available here.
1 DAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had a warped thought. What if there was only one copy of ToB left and the Dude and U_Niq had to fight to the death for it?

We could have some cheesy fight music from the original Star Trek play as the two Shadow Mages grapple for ToB! The rest of us could sell tickets.

...and in the middle of the fight the mighty Edwin comes out of nowhere (i'm a shadow mage or what?? ) and makes peace between dude and u-niq taking the copy of ToBand running away screaming...."NOW I HAVE 2 COPIES!!!!!" MUHAHAHAHAHA
.......i know it's a bit delirant, but that's it..
Or i can come with kayless selling tickets at incredibly high price for our common money to be spent on our future meeting drinkin' beer!!!!

U-Nig will respect my as his Guild Leader and will hand the copy over to my.
or else i will kick his but because i'm stronger either way i will be victorious
You still have lots of things to learn, my son. Ofcourse I will get the last copy.
But jumping of the Hilton seems a good idea. For everybody who doesnt know: The one and only dutch rock and roll hero committed suicide yesterday by jumping of the Hilton hotel somewhere in the Netherlands. He probably didn't feel a thing, since he was stoned 24/7

That wont be a good idea, since thedude and i will chase you all the way back to italy till we get the copy you stole from us. And because we are in Italy anyway, we "borrow" yours too so we can still play both.Originally posted by Edwin:

The difference between a level 10 Fighter and a 9/1 Fighter/Ranger is still one attack per round... The advantage of an early multi wears off after about 4 levels or so, when every character has had a chance to get a decent amount of Hit Points and the feats to dual wield.Originally posted by Kayless:

Exactly, hence my feeling that it’s a cheese tactic that certain players (Pkers and the like) will use to gain an early advantage. Taking the cheap 1 level of Ranger gives you brief period of superiority that many unscrupulous players will exploit by PKing or Griefing (I know I’m cynical but I‘ve had too much experience on Battle.net and other online games to believe in the altruistic nature of other players). Hopefully DMs will be able to keep it to a minimum (assuming the DM isn’t corrupt himselfOriginally posted by Xyx:
