Main Character!

Post by ghowthoo »

Hey guys...

what does find familiar spell do for the main character?.. is it really cool?? I have not started playing the game since i've been stuck on trying to figure out what class would fit me.. i enjoy equiping my character with armours and all that stuff.. i don't want him to look the same as in the beginning.. anyone have any suggestions on what i could go on?.. Kensi/Mage looks pretty boring.. due to the lack of equipment usage ??? i dunno what i'm talking about.. hehe.. but anyway what would be cool combos!.. thanks for reply!

berseker/mage ?

The familiar spell gives a familiar. :)
Well it gives extra HP (not much) and some have some spellcasting skills, the familiar you get depends on aligment, so read the spell description to know the familiar you are going to get.
Well, if you like using armor you can go with that fighter, cleric ,paladin or ranger classes, thoses are the ones that can have the great armors (kensai/mage does not use a armor (kensai cannot wear armor, that is why its usefull the dual to a mage since it can wear a robe).

- Shadowdale low level adventure module.

- Rashmare /Thay high level adventure module.

GO FOR STALKER!!!

I dunno, I've played several classes but I always go back to my dear 'ol stalker.

I mean, sure, they cant wear anything heavier than studded leather, but there are a lot of good leather based armor in the game like dragonscale (its leather!) and aegir's hide.

Stalkers can also hide in shadows, backstab like a thief, fight like a warrior has natural dual wield, get lots of hp, can cast druid spells, has haste, protection from normal missles, and minor spell deflection too.

What more could u ask for? :)

I sacrificed my stalker's dual wield though, for the ability to wield shortbows and the ac bonus on single weapon style. Currently my stalker is at

longsword **
mace **
shortbow *
single weapon style ** (for the -2ac)
two weapon style ** (natural for rangers)

Just make sure your dex is 18 because since ur armor is only leather based, you'll need the bonus AC, that coupled with the single weapon style bonus, should get you to -3 easily.

Asassin/mage is a great combe IMO.
If you want to use some strange equipment, go for a Kensai\druid (good also for ToB with the druid improvements.....). You can give him the Impaler, a weapon not so much used.....

I like F/M/C class - without Baldurdash patch you could have even all three strongholds and after removing Xp cap such a PC will be the Fighter/Spellcaster powercombo (this is my plan for my next walk through BG series)
So sayeh

A note about the main character: Do not forget that you lose 1 point of STR, DEX, WIS or INT (only 1 point) in the middle of the game and 1 point of DEX in the end of the game. It's irritating. Plan accordingly when generating the character.
