Ultimate party

Remove all ads!

What should a 6-character party consist of? Here are my thoughts.

1. Main mage. I would choose a sorceror.
2. Backup mage. Mage/Thief or Mage/Cleric
3. Fighter. Half-orc Berserker.
4. Paladin. Inquisitor.
5. Archer. Elven Archer.
6. Fighter/Thief or Fighter/Cleric depending on what you chose at #2.

What do you think?

 

While the posibilities are endless, that is a good party that would work

 

My party, which I do not remember a single fight being difficult with:

1. Me - Paladin/Inquisitor 27th Lvl - Carsomyr +6
2. Anomen - 35th Lvl - Crom Faeyr
3. Valygar - 27th Lvl - Dual Wield Axe of Unyeilding and Flail of Ages/Answerer
4. Mazzy - 30th Lvl - Upgraded Gram and Gesen Bow
5. Imoen - 31st Lvl Thief!! - +5 Short of Mask
6. Aerie - 24th Lvl Wild Mage!! - Staff of Magi and fully loaded with combat spells and spell triggers of lower resistance.

Aerie a wild mage? What gave you that idea? I'm not saying it's a bad idea but what inspired you to think of that?

 

I just wanted to give the class a try, thats all.

 

Here is my ultimate party:

Mel-Undead Hunter Lvl 25-talarash +5, Foebane +5, Carsomyr +6.
Jess-Assasin Lvl 33-Firetooth(not equipped), Celestial Fury/Hindo's Doom +4.
Daine-Wild Mage Lvl 24-Staff of the Magi, Sling of Everard +5.
Alexia-Monk Lvl 31-Sling of Everard +5.
Irene-Priest of Helm Lvl 31-Runehammer +5, Sling of Everard +5.
Quin-Archer Lvl 25-Darkfire Bow +4, Ravager +6, Psion Blade +5.

Nice huh?

 

Hmmmm.... three slings of Everard eh? How'd you manage that? (Can you say Shadow Keeper? )

When I finished ToB I had:

Me - Fighter 33rd level - Foebane +5
Minsc - Ranger 29th level - Ravager +6
Aerie - Cleric/Mage 22nd/18th levels - Skullcrusher +3
Jaheira - Fighter/Druid 20th/16th levels - Spectral Brand +5
Mazzy - Fighter 33rd level - Axe of the Unyielding +5 and Short Sword of Mask +5
Imoen - Mage/Thief 26th/7th levels -Staff of the Magi

4 berserkers, mage for haste spell, female cleric to stand still and look beatifull

 

Yeah, maybe until you run into traps or locked doors that you are too weak to bash.

 

money enough, hit points enough, potions enough

 

Gunthar,
Kevlar's mage could use Knock, no problem evens disarms the traps if there are any. And I think Shadow_thief meant that the Sling of Everard gets passed around between those characters not that all three have that weapon.

 

No, i think shadow thief meant she cheats since she always brags about that.

Besides that, a lot of traps in ToB don't disappear once you spring them. I found this out the hard way with some fireball traps.

Geez, *finally* someone actually *pays* attention to what I post, asides from Extremist. It still seems like forever for me to keep posting that I use SK. And I don't think I'm bragging, more like anouncing to the world that I don't care for what you legit players say about cheaters. And no, I don't pass around the sling. They are all separate.

 

Well I've played with two combos that seem to work best, one for low level games:

Fighter D Mage
Fighter (Berzerker)
Ranger
Fighter/Thief
Cleric/Mage
Mage

And one for high level games:

Fighter D Mage (naturally dual at a higher level)
Fighter(Berzerker)
Ranger
Fighter D Cleric (or Druid, your choice)
Cleric/Mage
Thief D Mage

 

Why just a plain ranger? Why not archer or beast master or stalker?

 

I still haven't decided what party to play through ToB, especially the watcher's keep. Since it is unthinkable for me to do a dungeon without a thief I am in trouble (to some point ).
I won't like to have Yoshimo, Eddwin & Jan in my party so I will probably choose of my own PC - anyway my party setup might look like that:

-Sir Camaris - halfling cavalier
-Keldorn - human inquisitor
-Jaheira, my love - halfelven fighter-druid
-Imoen - dc thief-mage, staff of the magi, firetooth
-Minsc - using dragonsbreath halberd, manabow, silversword or Mazzy, using gesen's bow and cutthroat
-Bragomil - halfling fighter-thief (party sapper) using tansheron's bow, boneblade & kashiko's wakizashi

 

Heres my "ideal" party. I made it all by using multiplayer.
I put them in the bowling formation one in front two behind him three behind them.

• El Cid (M)- Human Cavalier
  Turn Undead
  Dragon Slayer
  Tank
  High Charisma (makes Good leader)
• Kenshin (M)- Human KENSAI dual MAGE
  Tank
  Good fighter
  Magic Caster
  Casts spells which help party (Haste, Strength of One, etc...)
• Slick (M)- Halfling Swashbuckler
  Ideal Fighter thief
  Trap Setter
  Tank
  Spies and Deals w/ traps and locks
• Legolas (M)- Elf Archer
  Long ranged (heavy xbow- heavy duty)(s bow- hit & run)
  Spies
  w/ Amulet of Cheetah Speed + Boots of Speed BAIT
  Hit and Runner as well
• Enchantress (F)- Half-Elf Sorceror
  Offensive Spell caster
  Summons Planetar
  Time Stop w/ Improved Alucarity (DEADLY)!
• Charisma (F)- Human Priest of Lathander
  Long Ranged (sling)
  Healer
  Raises Dead
  Improves Party
  Summons

 

Tell me, why on earth did you name your chars. Enchantress, Charisma, Slick, Kenshin and El Cid? Legolas is explainable, but the rest?

 

I think it's just hard to come up with new original names.

 

Picturing a halfling thief paperdoll named Slick cracks me up, good call Athalon!
