A few queries: ShadowKeeper & Dark Elven Chain
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:28 pm
Heya,
Decided on playing one of the best games ever made again, and I'm running through quite nicely.
I've trying a team of primarily NPC's which I've never truely invested in.
Unfortunately I've been unable to avoid playing a mage varient, resulting in a Sorcerer this time around. Its going well, with a current team of:
Korgan,
Viconia,
Mazzy,
Celebdiur (Sorc),
Edwin,
Jan.
Its so unfortunate that I've been forced into Jan due to the various traps throughout. Ran Irenicus's dungeon on Insane with just my Sorc having to Mirror image my way through traps (a fair bit of quicksaving).
Anyway, thats all not very relevant.
I was considering make Mazzy a paladin.
I've just defeated Firkaag (level 13) and plowing through the remaining zones before I end up with Imoen available.
So, a few problems, I feel the game has messed up many of the proficiencies in the characters I've aquired. Mainly speaking towards Mazzy. I'm quite tempted for her to wield the Carosmyr (Actually never had a character sticking through and using it, which is a joke considering how many times I've ran this game.
So to that, I'm wondering if it would be fine for me to SK my game midway through, not a fan of cheesing things, but I understand to temptation when something has been installed.
I would love her to be a kit paladin or some kind of more speicified archer, looking towards long bows and a nice two-hander.
Ok, so thats my first problem.
Secondly, I've just defeated a handmaiden of Lloth as part of Viconia romance. Resulting in me having a Dark Elven Chain chestpeice. Oddly enough Jan cannot use this.
Its ridiculous. Its one better AC than the usual Elven Chain, and I'm aware I'm well worth using Neautral mage robes when I get a set available. But for now its Jan's best bet, less attacks knocking off my stoneskins after I've been trying some backstabs.
Now lasting, I've never liked Imoen *heya*, but would it be worth choosing her over Jan, I love his dialogue but as a result of my dislike for Imoen and Yoshimo and my decisions of never playing a theif, would she be worth using instead?
Also, for my next run over, I'm thinking going patch crazy.
How does.
Keldorn,
Cernd,
Valygar,
Thief (some kind of kit),
Nalia,
Anomen
Possibly Haer'Dalis or Aeria for Anomen.
I'm sure its workable.
I think thats what I'd planned on saying, rather tired so sorry for the incredibly messy structure.
Much of a stream of conscience this.
Oh, if not Mazzy as a paladin, what sort of two hander would someone suggest in some kind of Fighter-kit. I'm not looking to cheese my way through, but playing on insane I want things dead fast, so I do need something thats actually worth playing with.
Had a scan through the available ToB 2 handers and looked over threads, but I'm unsure.
Also, I've never played a two-hander character for long, only ever settling on Sarevok.
Thanks!
