Im not affliated with the guild but I couldnt help seeing the post about dualing to a sorceror, and figured I would respond.

Most of the information about the mages,sorcerors, and multiclasses are stored in the exe, so even if you edit the .2das to dual class it will almost surely lock up or have a fatal exemption error.

However it might just work (though I doubt it). The .2da files you would need to edit would be ABDCDSRQ.2da and ABDCSCRQ.2da, corresponding to the primary and secondary class requirements (And DUALCLAS.2da as well). If someone needs me to, I can send them the original .2das so they can edit them.

I'm going to pick up ToB in a matter of hours so I probably won't be posting much after that. ;) :D But I'll be sure to let you guys know when I have it. :p
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

No prob, Dude. ;) I'm like the Hell Orca: I can hold breath for a long time but even I have to come up for air. So ToB won't keep me away forever. :)

We ain't getting it here for a month at most :mad: . It ain't bloody fair... Mmm... I might get it quicker since I preordered it from Amazon.co.uk. Well, probably not, but I can always hope. Should arrive in the holidays for me :D . I have no social life anywa, so I don't have to worry about losing it... :cool:

I have decided to play a 4 sorcerer party instead of 4 sorcerers and 2 mages. Four party members will be plenty, and probably overkill. Having solo'd through the game with one sorcerer it will be interesting to see what kind of tactics arise from using four magic users with no tanks. It should be fun. Cast fire ball with one sorcerer, go invisible while they run for you and then three other sorcerers unleash magic missiles.
would also be interesting if one sorcerer could be casting spells like greater maliason all of the time. I think I'm going to take a screen shot of 4 mages casting spell sequenced magic missiles at once. that's 60 missiles if I'm not mistaken!

Speaking about overkill, does anyone know what happens when two casters simultaneously cast Time Stop? Can they both act at the same time? Do they get their three rounds one after the other? Does one simply miss out?

good question xyx, when I get home I will test it and get back to you (unless someone else does first of course). I wonder how many creatures could make 4 saves vs. wail of banshee consecutively. or 12 with chain contingency

hey all,

Sorry for being away for a week or so... I have been and i will be this week very busy with school; i dont have vacation yet. i still have to make it through a week full of tests and such. :( :(
Too bad, with this nice weather and all the miniskirts...

@ thedude : I dont have ToB yet and i think it will take another month untill its available in the netherlands. It sucks. We'll have to wait patiently and listen to the stories of kayless... ;)

Another interesting point: Can you place level 9 spells in Chain Contingency in ToB?
