Dualing Wizard Slayer

Post by Berethor »

I checked the GameBanshee site but It only told me what do do If I dual the Wizard Slayer to thief, but what should my stats be? It never told me that, and sure, I could do the Ctrl+8 at the character creation thing but I dont like to cheat. Could you give me stats I could use? I have tried a few times and never had any luck.

Could you also give me a review on if this is a good character to use?

Thanks

Once you get UIA, this character can be a powerhouse. What do you mean by what your stats will be? I mean other than the high dex, what else do you need to make the change? It is obvious that you will want a high str, dex, and con...

Yeah, I already know that but I am asking for stats that would be good.

I tried many times but unless I want to sit there for an hour i dont think i will be able to get high stats without cheating.

thanks for the advice tho

i dont think I will solo it though...

For any kind of fighter/thief type of character you want high stats in str, dex, and con.

Any character I have like this has the following stats roughly:

str: 18 +
cons: 18 (17 if an elf)
dex: 18 (19 if an elf)
int:10
wis: 10
char: 10

The 10 stats in the latter categories, aren't that necessary, I just don't like to have any stat lower than 10.

Yes, I often take my time rolling ;)

Those are good stats except for the fact that It has to be human so the max everything could be is 18

rolling takes a lot of finger effort :p

This is one of the better mage killers though, as the backstab will start the chance of spell failure, shouldn't take long to ge three 18's though and that is all you really need. Even if not solo this can still be powerfull character once UIA is achieved.

SouthAfrica is right, it really does not take long to come up with three 18s. This is much easier than trying to roll a fighter/mage since there you also need a high intelligence in addition to the other three (well, not necessarily dex, but that affects AC so it is good to have for a mage).
In this case, the required stats for the two classes are pretty much the same.

I have gotten results like the above, or better, after just a few minutes ;)

I would roll until I get something like this :

18 Str
18 Dex
18 Con
9+ Int
9+ Wis
18 Cha (Because I don't want to carry the Ring of Human Influence for the entire game)

For items, you will want LOTs of attacks per rounds (pre-HLAs) in order to disrupt every single spells. Darts and Tuigan Bow are good ways to get 3+ attacks per round.
