New game started => ultimate power party for ToB (my two cents)
Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2001 9:13 am
As I'm preparing for ToB I took a really long break and tried to figure out the best possible party for my first ToB gaming experience. Here's what I came up with ...
1st. Me, Ranger 9th => Cleric
Why a ranger cleric? why not, great versatility with weapons since by the time I'm ranger9/cleric10 I've gotten two stars (the maximum) in almost every weapon I can use + I can 'naturally' dualwield. Great & versatile character with lots of spells (at least with 22 wisdom) - I even have access to all clerical spells thanks to my char's ranger side. Plus I also get HideInShadows & HatedEnemy. The char is used as a frontline fighter / tank + to do all the clerical stuff needed. In my opinion, I'm worth 2 other characters.
equipped with ... whatever the best suits me, since I can equally effectively use any weapon a cleric can use.
2nd. Korgan
My DamageDealer / frontline fighter. He's the best at what he does. Every group needs at least one straight fighter. Also he's got great weapon skills, he only lacks in dualwielding which I can remedy.
equipped with axe & warhammer
3rd. Keldorn
My third fighter. Usually in the back defending my mages or if my 2 frontline guys get stunned / paralyzed / slowed etc. he has the means to set them free. Or he is running to battle right after myself & korgan depending what I am against. Inquisitor's Dispel Magic ability is just unreplaceable.
equipped with longsword & crossbow
4th. Haer'Dalis
My backup fighter (with contigencied tensor's of course) Lot's of equipment only bards can use. Other than that, a great character when used correctly. Nice stats - the ones that aren't nice can be fixed. adds a lot to versatility. When almost dead without any weapons / spells can still do a lot good to your party.
equipped with ... a bow / melee weapons when going into combat.
5th. Jan Jansen
5 words: Thieving skills that keep improving! + a nice personality. A combo no other char can offer.
equipped with crossbow / SoM (YES - my invisible scout trapdetector guy)
6th. Edwin
Edwin's edwin, he's so superior (as a mage) it makes me a sad.
Equipped with dagger / Staff
With these guys & the knowledge to use them I think I can run through ToB without any problems.
