Rogue Kensai

Post by Raumoheru »

wow i just found out a very good strategy for BG2.

i started out as a human rogue with 18 18 16 16 14 12 and kicked everyone out of my party and went solo thru the dungeon. after the last place in the dungeon i needed my thief skills (getting the key for the traitor doppleganger) i duel classed to a fighter and used SK to make him a kensai and give him the AC bonus. by the time i left the dungeon i was 3 kensai/10 rogue. i went and did the lilacor quest, the slave quest, the beholder cult and nalia's quest. by the end of all that i was kensai 11/rogue 10 and rich as hell. i wentr to the temple and (after many many many tries) got the celestial fury. an easy way to do this is to get lucky and right when u come in the mage may not see u. then u can disable traps, there is one on the door out. i did this went in killed the guy with the sword ran out leting it save the game. i reloaded the auto save and killed one more guy with my new sword and went out again and repeated the process till they all were dead. this also gives u time to use potions and such. now i got Aerie with me to train her to be an uber spell caser :D

i really hated the skells and mummys when i was arround lvl 11/12 with my 3 member party and the nalia quest was easy but the trolls are really nastie if u don't have any fire or accid on u.

well i dont want to level up with my thief anymore cuz i can open pretty much any lock or disable traps. if i come into probs i can use SK to up my skills. if i multiclass i cant get very high level with my kensai.

If you are soloing/small party, you'll be uber high level in no time. Believe me, you want Use Any Item for your kensai to achieve super levels of cheesiness :D :D

All you need is cash. Then buy the Shield of Balduran and some protection from undead scrolls.

I came out with an even more evil option, started a 1/2 orc kensai/thief, at lev. 9 (kensai) I changed the kensai class to barbarian, so now I have an 1/2 orc barb/thief with the bonus of lev. 9 kensai, its a preety scary char. (when raged has str. of 23!! think of the backstabs)

Yes!!! you keep the Kensai bonuses (unless you cancel'em from the effects table). the only thing I cancel when passing to Barb. are the innate abilities (Kai).
