Your main character

Post by leeman_s »

I thought it would be interesting to see what everyones main character is, what equipment they are using, and the stats (like strength, dexterity, etc.). Also how good it is working out. I have a necro mage and his stats are everything 18 (strength, dexterity, etc.) except for charisma which is 17. I don't know my equipment off hand, i'll check and post a reply.

Well, since I'm just starting a new game for my long awaited full run through Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal I don't have any good equipment yet. However here are my base stats. I was surprised at how good a roll I got for him, but then realised that Rangers in general get great initial rolls due to the high minimum requirements for every stat. The lowest you can roll in any category is an 8.

ANDURIL
Level 9 Archer
Neutral Good Elf

Str - 18/55
Dex - 19
Con - 17
Int - 15
Wis - 16
Cha - 10

* Long Swords
* Flails
**** Long Bows
*** Dual Wield

He is murder on mages with that bow, and if he needs to go melee he uses Long Swords as his main weapon and Flails if fighting creatures where blunt weapons are required. In all, he's pretty cool to play.

So because you hate half elves and modified the stats you are not cheating?? that's a good joke

BTW, I have to ask.....you said you have stats all 18, except Charisma 17........obviously you used a character editor to get all those 18's.....if you're going to cheat, why not make your Charisma 18 as well?........or did you leave that at 17 to "challenge" yourself.

and WHAT a "challenge" Underdog hahahahah

If I cheated i would have 19 constitution, I used the elves penalty to constitution you see.
And I wanted that higher dextirity otherwise 19,19,19,19 looks stupid.

And i didn't recieve any further bonusses like +1 to thac0 while using longswords and bows, neither the resistances.

And elves can be bards, but only the kit ministrel (doesn't exist in BG).
Dwarves, gnomes and halflings (chanters and inventors)can also be bards but those kits that aren't implemented in Bg.

It is cheating, but not in the sense of the word cause I also used the penalties.

Played same character from beginning of BG1.

Natalia
Chaotic Good, Half-Elf Cleric/Ranger multiclass
Level 16 Cleric, Level 14 Ranger

Str 19 (22 w/Firegiant belt)
Dex 17
Con 20
Int 12
Wis 18
Cha 20

Items:

Helm of Balduran
Schruppak's Plate
Bracers of Blinding Strike
Rings of Regeneration and Ring of Earth Control
Amulet of Power
Girdle of Fire Giant Str.
Boots of Speed
Runehammer +5
Ice Star +4
Flail of Ages +3
Cloak of Mirroring

Quite the bada$$ chickadee that I've used through all the games. Between her prayers, druid spells, and her melee ability, she can handle quite a bit. Dishes out loads of damage, and is murder on trolls with Flail of Ages... just can't wait to get the other heads for that thing!
"Think on this, arrogant mageling: even the mightiest archmage has no spells strong enough to let him cheat death. Some take the road of lichdom... a living death. The rest of us find graves, and our dust is no grander than that of the next man. So when next you lord it over some farmer with your fireballs, remember: we all master spells enough to die"

Ithil Sprandorn, Lord Mage of Saskar, said to prisoner wizard Thorstel
