Three NPCs

[Valyissiun]

I know threads like this one are abundant in the forum, but I'd like some advice..

I've soloed (Undead Hunter) and naturally, gone through with a full compliment and now would like to go through again with the "bonus" exp of solo and the interactions of a full party so I'm going to settle for three NPCs. My problem is, who?

I'm partial to Clerics and Paladins; trying for "I am to be a god" thing.

Thinking Valyissiun (Assassin), Edwin, Anomen and Keldorn.

Seems playable, but melee wise the party’s going to get wooped early on. Not quite willing to compromise Valyissiun's class nor to loose a healer or some spell casting. Help!

Oh – screw the romances, they're sad ..really sad.

& Turn (Explode) Undead is a must ..willing to fix Keldorn to an Undead Hunter.

Off topic, dont you think his looks remarkably like an older George Clooney? Jaheira is deadset Carmen Kass and Skie from Baldur's Gate is almost an Audrey Hepburn. *shrug*

Anomen can turn(explode) undead. You will definetely need True Sight, which Edwin can't cast. So WHY are you fixing Keldorn in the first place?

Anomen can tank, Keldorn can definetely tank, Assassin can help with backstabbing so you are not too low on melee department. Your party seems to me an interesting variation of the all-evil thief-Edwin-Viccy-Korgan party and should perform very well.

Well I've managed many games without truesight so it kinda habit. I love the Undead Hunter perks and hate the Undead. Dispel magic isnt an issue since there are items out there (Casymore comes to mind) besides, I plan on backstabbing Mages before they're any trouble. Anomen's great "on paper" but so damn anoyin, though he should reach lvl 15 soon.

'All-Evil' looks formidable; funny how the best Cleric, Mage and Tank are Evil.

Oh Sh*t! a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center ! heh, there was just an episode of the 'Lone Gunmen' about that too.

You will have to watch your rep since you are evil and Edwin is evil.. and pals and clerics dont like evil.. I have had parties were keldorn had it with Viccy and axed her for being evil..

Just have viccy turn undead.

watch keldorn explode, I think.

What a crappy thing to happen on my birthday!!!

Korgan (can take on four opponents at once)
edwin (unbelievable arsensal of spells)
viccy (great mix plus turning plus mag. res.
your assassin (poison, backstab, thieving)

You will absolutely clean up shadows of amn with these four (no challenges). Using only these four, they will all have special abilities before you finish SoA. keep jaheira around for a while so you can beat the crap out of the harpers.

[Ned Flanders]

another good foursome:

assassin (dual to mage at some point)
keldorn
anomen
aerie

or

assassin (dual to mage at some point)
jaheira
keldorn
anomen

both foursomes provide a little more challenge than the me, korgan, viccy, edwin theme. If you do the evil party thing as soon as you have all four of them, crank the difficulty to insane.

[Valyissiun]

Hmm.. too testing to keep 'Evil All-Stars' happy, sad to say SoA is far too linear for it. Besides, played for a little last night and it's slowly working out (using hit'n'run tactics). Priority is Anomen to lvl15 and getting FoA + Casymor + Crom latter on. It's was so tempting to keep Korgan when we found Keldorn since he took out the Slavers solo and as usual, his paper doll looked fully decked in full plate.

Well, thanx anyway
