    [​IMG] Since my original topic, just like other glorious things got lost in THE BIG CRASH, I start it all new ... :D

    This topic is for all these, who cannot wait any longer and want to speculate and discuss about their favoured chars and classes or kits for their IWD-2 games :) :roll: :spin: ;)

    my current favourite (good aligned) party concept is:
    -Aasimar cavalier Lord Belmen
    -Halfling votary Sir Donaldus
    -Woodelf archer Imrahil or - as the kit develops now - rather a stalker
    -Gold Dwarf mc Fighter-Cleric Arabakus Strongshield(I know I'll need healing :D )
    -Lightfoot Halfling arcane-rogue Caffrey Beamish
    -half-elf Aes Dana or human Battleguard of Tempus; maybe even a sorcerer or perhaps a fighter-mage

    Post your ideas, opinions and party concepts here! :)

    As my great reply likewise was deleted in the Great SP Crash, here is what I am probably going to play with. I remember saying something witty as well in my previous reply, but I can't remember it, so you will all have to go without. :D

    - Aasimar Giant Killer
    - Deep Gnome Sorcerer
    - Wood Elf Stalker
    - Gold Dwarf Battleguard of Tempus
    - Moon Elf Blade
    - Human Swashbuckler
     
  3. Black Rose Guest

    Drow Wizard Slayer
    Aasimar Cleric
    Tiefling Weapons Master
    Tiefling Mage
    Lightfoot Halfling Swashbuckler

    This will be my party.

    Not really sure about the whole subrace thing yet, but the short people shall invade the Dale. It will of course be a good alligned party.

    Dwarf - Priest of Lathander
    Dwarf - Berserker
    Dwarf - Wizard Slayer
    Gnome - Illusionist/cleric
    Gnome - Swashbuckler
    Gnome - Barbarian

    The trick will be finding funny voices to them all :)
     
  5. Cog Primius Guest

    [​IMG] my party will be this

    Male Drow-Elf Wizardslayer
    Male Drow-Elf Mercenary
    Male Dwarf Barbarian
    Male Gnome Thief
    Female Drow-Elf Necromanicer
    Female Drow-Elf Priest of Bane

    by the way no one will or can be
    dual-classed, good or neutral, only evil :)
    or even multi-class
    can halflings be paladins in any other game than iwd2

    Alas, poor druids, we knew you well. What's up with you guys? I think BGII has stirred up way too much anti-druid sentiments. Druids rocked the house in IWD and especially in HOW, and yet none of you (with the exception of Ragusa) has even considered taking one along. On behalf of our nature-loving brothers and sisters, I am truly disappointed. Oh well. While I am sitting back with a cool glass of lemonade ,letting my druid handle all the bad guys with a couple entangles and spike growths, I'll be thinking of you folks...


    ....and what about monks? I realize they're hurt magnets at low levels, but given time (and they do level fast) they can become serious killing machines, without weapons or armor. you gotta love the efficiency.

    okay, enough preaching. I just had to speak for these poor, under-represented classes. My picks are:

    Human Monk
    Aasimar Inquisitor
    Half-elf (or woodelf, if allowed) druid or avenger druid
    Tiefling Sorcerer
    Deep Gnome Illusionist/Thief
    and something else.

    Of course, I'll probably change my mind multiple times before the game comes out.

    Asmodeus, interesting choice.....

    An all female party except you? Good call or just a little fantasy at work ;)

    I'm not sure yet about my party, as I'm still not managing to picture most of the new races, classes and kits. I think I shall have to experiment a little when I first see it before I decide. For example, I have no experience of drow. Except that little tease in the cough, cough well they could never prove it anyway.

    • n ghostwise halfling assassin (shortsword, light crossbow)
    • ln halforc or human Landsknecht (greatsword or halberd)
    • ce human or duergar Ravager (spear or greataxe)
    • le human dreadmaster of bane (flail)
    • ce elf or drow riddlemaster (bastard sword/ crossbow)

    Heh.

    Human Kensai. Dual wielding short swords and bastard swords.

    No katanas and wakizashis. Damn it!
    That's it, then.

    My party is founded around a Brother/Sister team of earth bound angels seeking to right the wrongs of this fallen planet..

    Aasimar Votary
    Aasimar Silverstar of Selune

    The Votary is married to a Wood Elf Giantslayer (probably the ranger kit I'll pick)

    Their friends include:

    Ghostwise halfling Bard
    Half Elf Aes Dana
    Drow Sorcerer

    Names & weapons (a work in progress)...
    Votary - Scandal, using a two-handed sword & long bow
    Silverstar - Kerygma , using a War Hammer or Mace & Shield / Sling & Shield
    Giant Slayer -Shea, using Spear & long bow
    Bard - Fragil, using (no clue ... dual short swords maybe, or throwing daggers???)
    Aes Dana - Ashe, using Clubs
    Sorcerer - Orthae Faer (for the drow fans, that means something), using typical mage weapons & magic!

    ***
    well thanks a TON Ragusa. Now I can't wait for this game to come out :( More sleepless nights dreaming of a game I'll never have time to play :rolleyes: ;)
     
  15. DemoGorgon Guest

    Oh so many choices....
    I'd have to say a human Landsknecht, because i have to have a fighter or two, and why not a new one.
    Then, an elven Arcane rouge, sounds like a great combo of magic and theiving.
    Next, maybe something drow...hmmm...maybe a mercanary, gotta keep with the new stuff.
    hmm, rest takes some though. I will very likely use the dreadmaster of bane, and some kind of druid.

    I've always used the following as a start party for IWD:

    Human Paladin
    Human Fighter
    Halfling Fighter/Thief
    Half-elf Fighter/Cleric
    Half-elf Fighter/Druid
    Human Mage

    I'll probably use this with IWD-2 as well. And when I finish it I'll play all the different types of kits and races.
     
  18. Human paladin of Lathander
    Elven assassin
    Half-Elven archer
    Half-Orc barbarian
    Gnome illusionist

    Figure out the reference and win a prize :)

    I can barely even begin to decide but I've some idea...

    I'd like a monk, aasimar, tiefling or drow most likely.

    An elven, drow, half-elven, human, duregar or deep gnomish fighter mage or fighter sorerer (if F/S is allowed).

    Some super good mage or sorcerer.

    A deep gnome paladin :) .

    There are billions more that I can think of...

    I'm thinking of making a party with only subraces, that would be cool!
