Charges on items

[talen_sun]

Not being able to put reactive procs on BG1 armour, I thought I may as well use the spots for putting charges on.

I put charges on my armour, and have found them to be bloody useful... most common use is as follows...(from my Infi perspective)

Perf Art (DoT poison)
Ratfang/Garotte (Hopefully land the stat or speed decrease poison)
Fight for a bit let the DoT do its work.
Watch as the enemy decides to run away and get out of melee range.
Use a charge from my armour.
Gain 1 Realm Point. (Or sometimes 2 if i'm REALLY lucky)

I just thought i'd throw the idea in ring and watch it get flamed to death.

Why do those who can't have reactives procs just ignore the fact of putting charges onto your armour instead?

OK, so it costs to have them recharged. So what? with 99% quality, thats 7 charges per item. 7 times 6 is 42. Thats 42 magic 'things' to shoot at people... who cares if you don't recharge the items!!!

Anyway, opinions??

One idea is to use hamstring instead of ratfang, you nutcase
Other than that, it works fine. My little BG inf has charged energy DDs on all his armour parts, works very nicely most of the time. Range = too much imho

How much does it cost to get them recharged? Sounds like a nice idea though.

just put 10 iron dagers in yer backpack, drag em to qbar et voila a batterie of dd's

you dont need to wield or wear the item to use a charge, you just need it in yer backpack

I do it all the time

Tried it with a jewel and I got the message that I must be wearing the item to use the charge
