Avenger (dual) Fighter

Has anyone ever tried this? It sounds pretty powerful. It's only possible if you play BG1 and use the strenth tome on an 18 str human druid and the constitution tome on an 18 con.

Ofcourse it is!I always complete BG1 before coninuing to BG2(if i am able).So i got 19 charisma and 20 dex for my char.I got 19 dex because i am an elf.You can use the tomes to get the stat as high as you want.I think it might be limited still at somewhere..maybe at 25.Don`t know however.

I also like to play BG1 first (as an elf, sometimes half-elf) because if you start BG2 with a new character, it seems a little thin somehow as although you know the past of the PC, you didn't physically do it. Also the attribute bonuses are very valuable. I can never decide which class to choose, but I usually settle for fighters, rangers or fighter/thieves

It's impossible to raise any stat higher than 25, and personally I consider it cheesing, or even cheating, to play through the game more than once, picking up tomes. It's like going through ToB multiple times, dualwielding Purifiers, hence getting more MR than even Carsomyr can provide.

I don't think an avenger/fighter sounds so very dangerous. I fail to see how it can be so much stronger than an ordinairy druid/mage.

Well it wouldnt receive -2 to str and con as usual...

Yes, you would get the -2. That's why, if you want to dualclass, you need a 19 strenght from BG1.

Or wait and get a str raise from the SoA ending.

Playing trough many times is so cheesy...I personally despise cheating and no one should ever cheat.It just takes all the fun away..

[QUOTE=Thrifalas]Or wait and get a str raise from the SoA ending.[/QUOTE]That would take a REALLY long time to do, and it would also change your alignment to Evil, and I don't know what would happen to your druidic abilities.

Going Evil from the tests of hell have never ever done me anything except... well, except changing the alignment. Paladins and Rangers does not fall, neither do a druid loose his power. And stuff like that.

And I wasn't seriously proposing that you'd wait through whole SoA untill you dualled... I just mentioned it. :]
