<STRONG>.........(Stunned silence) I have officially had my mind blown. This movie is everything I had hoped for and more. Who’d have thought the film adaptation could be so incredible and remain true to books? Even the die-hard Tolkienites in the theatre (the ones garbed in cloaks and bearing bows and plastic axes :rolleyes: ) loved it. While things were defiantly cut from original novel, I actually feel this made the tale even more harrowing. The more leisurely pace of the book is replaced with taut suspense all the way through. The visuals are mind-blowing. The characterization is spot on. About half way through the film I realized I had to go to the restroom, so I waited for a lull in the movie. It never came. I was so enthralled all the way through that I forgot my urinary needs until well after the credits ceased rolling with applauds from the audience. See this movie. You’ll love it. If you don’t like it... too bad, you’re wrong. Five stars, two thumbs up, and whatever other accolades you can think of.</STRONG>

But only so an hour.

I can't believe this topic is still around. It's 8 months old, let it rest peace.

Yeah, if people don't like the thread then they can just ignore it. Of course when they post here it just adds to its strength anyway. Resistence is futile! ;) :D

P.S. Go see LotR! it rocks! :)

No use for 16 Strength; with such pathetic bonuses, you'll go for the Girdles anyway.

Con 16 gives you exactly the same.

Wisdom could be useful for (Limited) Wish. Don't miss out!

well, i am glad to see the shadow mages are still going strong. i haven;t been able to post in quite some time due to a move i am going through. i was growing concerned that this topic may ahve died or been closed.
@dude - definitely korgan. you don't have much muscle in yoru party plus you already have the other two evil characters
I would be a serial killer if i didn't have such a strong distaste for manual labor

HEEEEE Neal gald to have u back :D

but i think my party is ganno be this:
Me
minsc
Aerie
Anomen
Jan
Keldorn

so i have people for all the good weapons
Aerie for the staf of magi
me fo the Celestial Fury
Minsc for the talking sword (forgot the name i drink to much :o :D :D )
Anomen for the FoA and Crom
Jan for .. don't know but i need some one to pick locks and find traps
and Keldorn for the Carsomyr.

so i think i have a Mage heavy, (me , jan and Aerie), Cleric heaby (anomen, Aerie) and fighter Heavy (me, anomen, keldron and Minsc) party.
i think it's great and a big advantage i can use holy smite witthout hurting any party members!

Shade is now a 5 lvl mage (after i learned him all the spells i saved) and has 115 hide in Shadow and 85 set traps so when he's an Assassin again i think he's quit good don't ye think????
