Rolled a 95! & cannot Dual to a thief, Why?

Post by Robert Lee Phillips »

I put 18/23 in strength, dex, con, and int Wisdom and charisma under 15. I though dex was minimum 17 to dual my kensai to a thief? Wasted my best roll ever! :mad:

:eek: :eek:
That's strange...maybe char is the answer...but i thought it was important only for dualling to druid....

Only humans can dual.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Don't thieves have to have some kind of "neutral" in their alignment? What is your alignment?

Thanx for the response! Yes he is human and lawful good. I went ahead and dualed him to the only option available to me, a kensai mage. I saved it cuz he will rule, but I just finished SOA & TOB with a Kensai/Mage. :o

My bad, not sure why I thought thieves had to be "neutral something" or "something neutral". Still, glad we solved the mystery.

That's Bards (in some version of D&D rules, at least).

Well familiars in ToB have 48 HPs, so you will get 24 extra hit points... (dont recall any "use any item" ability in SoA)
