I am near the end of Tob. I started soloing Soa as a mage/thief/fighter, and let Saerevok join me in Tob, where I dualed him from his start.

I like the versatility I have in my mini-group. I can take out my enemies as a fighter, backstab them or drown them in magic. But most of all I love to lure my enemies into heavy mine-fields, of regular snares, spikes, explosions and time-stops.

I enjoy this opportunity, but I have a little feeling that traps mayhaps are too powerful. Seems to me that snares breach everything (except (the heartless) Yaga Shura) and can spoil a good fight far too soon.

How do you feel about setting snares? Too cheesy? What traps (snares, delayed fireballs, fumes) do you prefer? How do you organize them? Or do you hate them and consider them a cheat?

(Bonus question - Did anyone manage to disarm the chrunching wall in the asylum? Its the only one I didnt.)

I think the crunching wall in the asylum is a large mechanical trap that cannot be disarmed - it goes off once and thats it. I lured some Yuan-ti into it to set it off (after I blundered into it the first time ).

I miss Yoshimo.
One of my ways to compensate are delayed action fireballs and the symbol series. I've heard you can kill anything with enough spike traps, and that would be the only reason for taking jan, that obnoxious little gully dwarf, but there is no way I'm putting up with another turnip story.

Oh, come on, now! There's nothing like a good turnip story!


Jan: So, Keldorn, while we're on the subject of adult diapers, you're getting on in years, aren't you?

Jan is a gnome... not a dwarf...

I have never used traps... never needed it... i really think that winning a fight by setting alot of trps where the enemy pop's up is really boring...

Personally I believe traps are good Nice to lure a bunch of unsuspecting goons back to a nice little trap *snap, there goes a limb*

Jan has always got a place in my party after that story about the golem!

Jan- Ah, now I see. One of THOSE.
Keldorn- It is not your place to judge my affaris. You must learn to respect your leaders.
Jan- I do respect my leaders. This is nothing to do with them. This reminds me of the chapter where the paladin first makes passionate love to the flesh golem. What a beautiful scene...
Keldorn- Begone, gnome, lest my honor demand I perform acts that you shall regret.
Jan- 'Fleshy, honey,' the paladin said. 'Yes, baby?' said the golem...

LMAO the whole time!

I livo traps too. And those new special traps from ToB are so interresting (time trap: YAY!)

I love wathing enimies chase after me and then die the next second. It's cool to kill enimies without even hitting them once.

i don't see how liking or disliking traps would either confirm or deny pervesity on your part. I have no particular need for traps, but I am seriously deranged.
