demo

i tried the whole thingy abit yesterday. i really like the way how the game starts differently based upon your party alignment. there's supposedly alot of ways to complete the game. i also like the turn based system, everything was very tidy and it was easy getting an overview.

 

[katt!]

its like bg with an 10x improved character system and interface, i like the radial-menu-thingy.

[this is ~10 min into the actual story so i cant tell you about that yet ]

i'd recommend having this group-setup: fighter, barbarian, cleric, wizard, rogue.

this way you get alot of tankage (ftr and bbn) and you have the rogue for talking with npc's and detecting trapped chests etc. the wizard is merely for arcane support such as casting sleep on lower levels (it kicks ass around level 1-3'ish) and then later on he can blow shit up for real

the cleric is there for healing (both skill-wise and spell-wise) and he will become a good tank later on as well.

i'd recommend rolling the stats as well instead of using that crappy point-to-stat system. if you just re-roll a few times you will end up with good stats.

 

[katt!]

and what about feats etc? are they like the "weapon specing" of 3rd ed?

 

[Cabo-]

i'd recommend power attack and cleave for the fighter. for the barbarian you should take the weapon focus feat for greataxe or something just to start with a better weapon than the crappy club (default weapon for the barbarian). the improved initiative feat isn't too shabby either because it lets you act much quicker in the combat initiative. a good starting feat for casters.

for a rogue you might want to take the combat expertise and improved feint feat. the latter one lets you sneak attack your opponents without flanking them and such.

i merely downloaded a backup copy so i don't wear out my original discs... the very same reason i use nocd cracks. yep. that's meeee. the law-abiding student. yippi-deeee-do. nothing suspicious going on here.

(dc++).

 

[old.Xarr]

another funny thing you should try out:

make a human fighter and choose the following starting feats; exotic weapon prof (spike chain), combat expertise and improved trip.

firstly the spike chain has 10 feet range as well as 5 feet range in melee combat. and you can make trip attempts with it. the damage ain't too bad either with 2d4. then of course you have your x1.5 strength modifier since it's a two handed weapon.

now if you successfully trip an opponent with improved trip you immediately get another free attack while the opponent is prone. very nice.

stay tuned for more powergaming tips ^^

no kensai/thief with "use all items" +assassination with holy avenger? :X

 

[SilverHood]

I prefered wizardslayer / cleric

now that was a char that could solo dragons at the end of ToB

 

[Belsameth]

There's a spiked chain in there? cool! now I can finally test the char I rolled ages ago when I was bored

 

[katt!]

you can create your own leet magical items as well.

whiping people that are face-down in the dirt doesnt count?

 

[Serbitar]

i aint dl'd it yet so i dunno if you can run these characters... but...

Cleric (healing god)
Cleric (battle god)
Paladin (battle god)
Wizard
Wizard

pala for tanking, wizzies for damage, healing cleric does exactly what it says on the tin, battle cleric for divine combat spells (some of which rock). You never need a rogue when you have a decent cleric and wiz cos of the detect traps spell and wizzies have the unlock spell (assuming they took over all the spells anyway) also wizzies end up doing immense damage at later levels (hmmm meteor storm) and clerics have access to lovely defensive spells and uber heals. pala also has the last minute desperate heal with lay on hands, and get some low level cleric spells. definately a must.

 

[katt!]

iirc if you pick one of the cleric domains (war?) thing you get weapon profiency+focus with the dietys weapon, 2 feats for free and the cleric becomes a semi-good tank.

 

[Serbitar]

yeah but if they transferred the cleric domains properly you also get some kick ass spells. The weapon focs etc... are perks of being a cleric of that god
