Best stats ever

Hi, just wondering, what are the best stats you've got after you've made it throught the trilogy: Baldurs Gate 1 (ToSc), SoA, ToB
Mine are:
Half-orc Barbarian

21 Strength
19 Dexterity
20 Constitution
3 Intelligence
19 Wisdom
19 Charisma

And i didn't do Baldurs Gate 1

Did all with a thief but she's gone, but she had pretty god stats to.

So far, through like most of the SoA chapter 3 Athkatla quests, so more stats to get.

20 Strength (books of strength+18)
20 Dex (as above)
19 Constitution
19 Intelligence
13 Wisdom
10 Charisma

matt: how did you get those boosts without playing BGI? what do you mean "trilogy without Baldur's Gate"?

kitty: how'd you get more than one book of strength?

I don't like tutu (tutoo many bugs for me!), but my Half-Elf C/R is almost done with BGI (and TotSC). Here are his stats:

STR: 19 (was 18/92 before)
DEX: 19
CON: 19
INT: 12
WIS: 21
CHA: 11

Pretty powerful IMHO. This is (of course) after finding all of the Tomes in the game.

I dont like over status characters, but I usually try to have a barbarian like that:

18 st dex con
10 or 9 int wis char

my FMT (currently on BG1 but thinking on bg 2) is a power elf:

st: 16 (gotta carry the stuff and beat a lil bit aye?)
dex: 19 (armor, no other thing, armor)
con: 15 (no need for extra con when you're a high level mage but on bg1 it is a sure need)
int: 18 (I want plenty of spells)
wis: 10 (no wish spell for me, makes game harder)
char: 11 (with book)

With the books he'll be one of my best chars through bg of all times.

I once rolled a Cleric/Ranger in BG1 with the following starting stats:

STR 18/56
DEX 18
CON 18
INT 10
WIS 18
CHA 16

By the time I finished ToB with that character, she had:

STR 20 (+1 from Tome, +1 from Machine of Lum the Mad)
DEX 19 (+1 from Tome, -1 from Hell Trial, +1 from Machine of Lum the Mad)
CON 21 (+1 from Tome, +1 from Machine of Lum the Mad, +1 from Deck of Many Things)
INT 11 (+1 from Tome, -1 from Dream in Spellhold, +1 from Machine of Lum the Mad)
WIS 23 (+3 from Tomes, +1 from Hell Trial, +1 from Machine of Lum the Mad)
CHA 19 (+1 from Tome, +1 from Hell Trial, +1 from Machine of Lum the Mad)

I usually start off with:
14 str
18 dex
14 con
14 int
16 wis
16 cha

When reaching SoA I have these stats:
15/19/14/14/16/16
I need 15 strenght for most bows, so that suits me just fine, and those 19 dex actually suits me from a RP perspective.

mattegeniet · Post by **mattegeniet** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 8:39 am

Well, i rolled pretty high when i started SoA:
19 Strength
18 Constitution
19 Dexterity
1-3 Int (don't remember)
18 wisdom
18-17 charisma

It's possible i only have 20 in strength, but i'm almost sure it was 21.

My kensai mage started in BG1 with the following:

Str 18/34
Dex 18
Con 18
Int 18
Wis 7
Cha 15

By the end of an unmodded BG2 game, I had

Str 20 (Tome +1, Lum +1)
Dex 19 (Tome +1, Hell Trial -1, Lum +1)
Con 20 (Tome +1, Lum +1)
Int 21 (Tome +1, Lum +1, +1 Deck)
Wis 11 (Tome +3, Spellhold Dream -1, Hell Trial +1, Lum +1)
Cha 18 (Tome +1, Hell Trial +1, Lum +1)

I was pretty happy with him

I'm running through with him again, this time with Revised Hell Trials installed, which may change those numbers around significantly.

HOWEVER, this doesn't hold a candle to the Paladin I still have cooking in BG1, whose starting stats are:

Str 18/84
Dex 18
Con 18
Int 8
Wis 18
Cha 18

By my calculations, once I've gotten him through an unmodded game, he should wind up at:

Str 21
Dex 19
Con 20
Int 9
Wis 23
Cha 21

That's assuming a Paladin gets a +1 Str bonus from the Deck of Many Things, but I'm not positive about that.

Best stats for what purpose?

I tend to play multi parties and give my manuals (etc.) to various party members, rather than hogging them all for one person, so I don't usually have a single "super-stat" person, but rather, several pretty-darn-good-stat people.

For example, I currently have 2 kensai-mages, a berserker-cleric, a wizslayer-thief, a paladin, and a fighter-cleric (multi) in my party.

The Kensai mage stats are:
18/99 18 18 19 3 10
18/93 18 18 18 3 7 (+Angurvudal)

The Wiz Slayer- thief is:
18/76 19 19 16 3 9 (+Crom Faeyr +Axe of Unyielding)

The Berserker-Cleric is:
18/26 18 18 17 19 3

The Paladin is:
18/90 18 18 3 13 19

The Fighter-Cleric is:
19 18 18 11 18 3

If I gave all the stat-enhancing stuff to one character, I'd have someone with really ridiculous stats... but why? They're better used on multiple different characters...

@LotharBot - good point - I went through BG1 with a party of four self-made npcs, so I had spread the manuals as appropriate (wisdom for the cleric, dex for the thief, et al).

My best roll, however, was for a Monk, I think, who got 18-18-18-18-18-3 after maybe 4 or 5 rolls. Damn!

I never got it, but is it possible to receive a roll bigger than 19?

Because it'll be interesting to roll and see a char with 23 strenght for example.

Nimiety · Post by **Nimiety** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 4:28 pm

Negatory - 19's the max, and only for the stat relevant to that non-human character (str & con for half-orc, dex for elf and halfling, int for gnome, con for dwarf). Other than that, it's 18s.
Cheers,

you can have much more than that. there are books to gain mor stats, and you can export/import your charecter and do it over and over again.

Luis Antonio · Post by **Luis Antonio** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 8:03 am

No books dark_angel, you only gain stats on BG1 that way.

Well, if stats is the goal, just shadow keep it.

DarkAngel · Post by **DarkAngel** » Tue Jan 11, 2005 8:26 am

i mean you can increese your almost all with that macheen in watchers keep (if toy know all the combinations...

DarkApos · Post by **DarkApos** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 9:04 am

Importing the game over and over is worse than shadowkeeping it. you end up the same but you just wasted a few hours!
