@ Grond0- Nice work. That Slythe fight can be nerve wracking with some characters...Best of luck in the final battle!

@ ussNorway- Sorry to hear about Danny.

@ Everyone Else- Good hunting!

Log back in in a different window, then refresh the old one. It should resend your information, creating the post as normal. It works for me, anyway. I lost quite a few posts before learning this, and though it's annoying, it's a lot better than writing a load of stuff twice.

Thanks for the tip - I'll give that a try next time.  I normally try and remember to use ctrl-C to copy whatever I've written so that I can just paste it again if I have to relog in, but forgot on this occasion.

Knucklear has finished the final battle and is probably almost as tired as me! Before I hit my bed I'll quickly note her strategy:
1) isolate Sarevok in a corner (using potion of invisibility)
2) then take down acolytes one by one under potion buffs.
Where the acoytes came out to play she was too well protected and could beat them in a fair fight (though needed her own healing potions as well). Diarmid chose to cuddle next to Sarevok and so got shot up from long range using stealth repeatedly.

Sarevok himself was not enough faster than Knucklear to prevent her from hiding as she went round pillars (used several potions of perception / power to give a very good chance of being successful at stealth) and only got one chop in before being finished himself.

Knucklear will have a go at BG2 next.

Quick update of BlackStrider & Co.
They are full and well. Cleared most western areas (except sirines' ones), killed Bassilus and Graywolf, helped Brade, joined Minsc and freed Dynaheir. Led them to the Nashkel Inn and bid farewell to them for a while. As Imoen is quite close to lvl 6 (when I plan dual her) party intend to clear Nashkel Mines now.

Sorsha Bavmorda (Joanne Whalley)



What I consider to be the true Auramaster kit* is a druid that trades shape shifting + stats (4 STR & CON) for solid arcane casting abilities (speed & spells) and can be downloaded from here.
*Author: Sikret

I like the idea of the kit for a ward raised in a literary environment however I deem the true kit overpowered for BG1 with out the other challenges to off set it so my Auramaster has;
Advantages:
1- +1 bonus to casting speed
2- Can memorize/cast one additional arcane spell per level as follows.
Level 1= Additional first level spell: Find Familiar
Level 3= Additional second level spell: Mirror Image
Level 5= Additional third level spells: Invisibility 10' radius
Level 7= Additional fourth level spells: Emotion
3- Receives normal druid Spell Casting & abilities except as noted below

Disadvantages:
1- Cannot wear any armour except those available to a single class mage… basically robes but can use helmet and Bucklers.
2- Cannot shape shift
3- Receives a -4 penalty to Strength at character creation
4- Receives a -4 penalty to constitution at character creation
5- Requires 12 Intelligence
6- Cannot dual class
7- Must be Neutral alignment
8- Can only wield Scimitars, Clubs, Darts, Spears, Daggers, Slings, and Staves
9- Can only get one proficiency (+) per weapon

Sorsha has abandonment issues… her first memories are vague images of running through a wilderness in the dark then being told by a woman “Mum?” to hide behind a rock and stay silent!

Two days later she was found tired, hungry and mute by an old guy with kind eyes. Gorion decided to raise the girl as his own. Most the childhood years was spent learning her basic arcane spells which she always struggled with… if not for the occasional visits with auntie Jaheira for imitable woodcraft instruction Sorsha would be as dippy as her foster sister Imoen. Gorion tried to heed her love of nature whilst at the same time insisting that the girl needed solid pedestrian skills to survive, the end result making her something of an assorted caster but still leaning heavily towards the druid arts.

@ Alesia_BH Thanks!
Plot item; Sorshas’ Shazzellim
On her 12th  birthday at Candle-keep, aunt Jaheira brought a sword to Gorion to see if he could devise any thing about its origins. Sorsha noticed it and immediately laid claim. The sword which had been used by a failed assassin was made by the red wizards and heavily enchanted to kill bards so the harpers didn’t really want it back but Jaheira insisted it be remodelled to better fit Sorsha and remove any evil taint… for reasons of their own all parties agreed to this and the sword became her beloved possession.
Needless to say, possession of this sword would not be looked upon very highly by Harpers.

STATISTICS

Equipped Abilities:
 Vocalize
Grants profeciency in Scimitar style while equipped.

@Serg BlackStrider, thanks... she did that movie (Willow) a while back with her future ex.

Sorsha day 5
Well my big adventure is off to a roaring start… Gorion died last night and I have to admit that I will miss the old giser! Still we got 100g for the body and joined up with a decent fighter named Montaron as well as a drow cleric named Viconia. Having a drow with us isn’t helping our rep so we agreed to fetch a ring for not much more than good will and the extra armour then some wanna-be assassin tried his luck with us at the FAI but the guards dealt with him efficiently… xzar proved to be less useful so we kicked his corpse to the curve.

So far have helped around Candlekeep, Mirianne, Firebead, Marl, Brage, Joia, Melicamp (dead), Perdue, Noober and Oublek. The skeletons at High Hedge were very determined so I resorted to stealth after killing one.

(After installing SCS the game is very choppy for first 10-20 seconds on each wilderness map, assume there are some additional scripts/checks being done)

I've never used Shadow Keeper so I don't know how or if you can do it with that. In Near Infinity, you can set usability restrictions fairly easily. All you have to do is tailor them to you PCs race, class, stats, alignment, etc in such a way that all other playable characters are excluded.

That's more-or-less how Bioware implemented character specific usability for BGII NPCs.

Of course, you could simply not let anyone else equip the item. That's a lot easier and has the same result.


Best,

A.

[Gate70]

No idea, probably start by looking at Xan's moonblade to see how that was done?

Dirrel, CG male elf fighter/thief.

More jobs done. Drienne and the drowned cat, Gnarl/Hairtooth, Jared's mountain bear (50gp and a thumping from ogres/ogrillions), Arghain and his half-ogres, returning a ceremonial bowl to Tenya, killing twenty zombies for Wenric and keeping Zhurlongs boots (couldn't find the pair in Ulcaster). Become the target for kobolds instead of Galtok, obtain a strange ring (fire resistance) and return Samuel to the Temple of Wisdom.

I sneak past Tarnesh to sort out Landrin before setting off to kill some ogres for Sarhedra. I manage two before I am poisoned by hobgoblin elites. I outpace them, finally killing a chasing ogrillion only to run into kobolds. After killing a dozen or so I am flanked by a kobold commando and hobgoblin elites. I move on and rest before returning to finish the job. Instead I am poisoned again but persist to kill both the hobgoblins and a final ogrillion.

I heal my wounds and switch armour (duh) before moving on to the kobolds. After eliminating them I need a break.

(fighter 4 thief 5, feels like slow progress but trying not to take any risks)

[Gate70]

Dirrel, CG male elf fighter/thief.

Two groups of kobolds, including a guard, injure me before I reach Meilum. He quaffs a potion of stone giant strength so I shoot and run. It is challenging to out-pace him but I manage several shots and he soon drops.

Shar Teel believes I only want to get into her full plate armour. Too right, it looks just my size.


She scowls while I try it on, this is not quite what she meant and I'm getting nervous particularly as we're both partially dressed. I prefer my ankheg plate so I hand hers back and depart quickly. She calls that she's enjoyed what little time we've had together and I run a bit faster.

I try to get her out of my mind by shopping, only to realise when I reach the coast that I've sold my studded leather armour. Instead of going back I press on, sneaking past hobgoblins, sirines, carrion crawlers and flesh golems. On my return a hobgoblin spots me and gives chase, with two wolves joining in. I try and charm Safana out of her studded armour to save me buying some more, but she refuses while the wolves are about. She will relent if I help her loot the cave of Black Alaric but I have to inform her that I believe it may recently have been emptied. I leave her to it and ask Thalantyr to read a second magical tome (bodily health) to me.

I grab some plain leather armour from my storage unit and head back towards a lighthouse. Ardrouine tells me to stop getting changed in front of her and get on with rescuing her son. Three worgs chase me a merry way, and when I return to Ardrouine she tells me she's retrieved the lad herself. I'm a bit upset about this so she agrees to tell all and sundry how heroic I was (reputation 17).

I leave, only for three more worgs to chase me past her the other way. When they are dead I pass her once more, and explain how this shall not happen again. Never ever ever again.

Deja-vu. Bye.


Hello again.


I head slightly north, hoping the worgs haven't spread. Instead I have to kill some dire wolves. As I reach the surgeon I have to start an enjoyable game with various ogres. It gets harder when they introduce two more dire wolves but I use some stony outcrops to funnel them and keep shooting away until they are all dead.

Then I head back to Beregost and help Garrick. Silke turns out to be a scheming lunatic so I release a trap and shoot her down. Or that's my plan until she casts stoneskin and mirror images which negate my trap and leave me powerless to attack her. Plan b is to run, even so I get a back full of magic missiles. I switch to my leather armour and hide.

I can't find her. Anywhere. I go to the Jovial Juggler and tell Bjornin his ogres are dead, have a rest and step outside. As I reach where I last saw Silke there she is. I run again and get two sets of magic missiles. Each time I try to hide I fail and a third set proves to be the end of me.

(so much for a no risk approach, picked on the wrong enemy there)

[Vaclavc]

Umm... another of my characters died... this time because I FORGOT to cast Protection from Petrification BEFORE engaging basilisk

But I am not giving it up, yet

[ussnorway]

Sorsha day 22;
@Vaclavc, Sorry to hear that but yes BEFORE usually works best.

I won’t bore you with two many details, basically followed my standard kill Drizzt opening with Viconia collecting the loot under ‘Sanctuary’ but no wands so we used the traps instead.  I’m not a big fan of BG1 Jaheira but I’m thinking of letting her carry the Ankheg armour until Branwen gets her spells back as a test, she is starting as a swashbuckler this trip until level 6 when she will go cleric.

Ps. Killing Drizzt pushed me into level 3 territory… o goodie!




The loot;
Robe of fire resist, 2*Bracers of defence 8, Lord Foreshadow's Ring of Human Influence, scimitar +3 (Frostbrand), Defender +5, quarterstaff+1, Ring of energy, Algernon's cloak, Sling +1, small shield +1, Mithril Chain mail +4, Ankheg Plate Mail +2 & I purchased a wand of sleep from high hedge.

 Update of BlackStrider & Co
Band Of Four cleared Nashkel mines (Khalid practically soloed Mulahey in 1.5 rounds)
   
(Xan joined Minsc, Dynaheir and Branven party in Nashkel Inn)

Eliminated Nimbul:
 
and Tranzig. Imoen hit level 6 so I dualed her and made some basilisk hunting using Scroll Prot from Petrification from Carnival and wolfs hunting in Temple area. 
Then group cleaned remained SW areas (Vax & Zal, Sendai group,  misc encounters).

Current party state: BlackStrider (Cleric-5/Illusionist-4), Jaheira (Fighter-5/Druid-5), Khalid (Fighter-6), Imoen (Thief-6 inactive/Mage-4).

BG/TotSC/patch/EasyTUTU/BG2 Tweaks/SCS*/Generalised Biffing on Linux/Wine, core rules.
Removed SCS, then added NPC locations, shell stacking, prevent Shar Teel dying early, remove blur effects.

Following several undocumented charname deaths back with George, TN human male kensai. Using Cernd's portrait. Original and current stats are;

STR 18/84
DEX 18
CON 16
INT 3
WIS 18
CHA 16 (17)

**(*) 2HS, ** 2 weapon style

I wasn't expecting to journey without Gorion. I try to remember his advice.

First, make sure you travel with trusted friends. Yep, Imoen, Khalid and Jaheira.

Second, make sure you're well equipped. No armour, no helmet, no bracers. At least I have a magical sword I took from Arghain and a few potions from the inn.

Third, get yourself a reputation. Getting there, we're regarded as heroic already.

Fourth, know your limits. Khalid is well aware when he needs to stand in front of me (usually when arrows are involved).

Fifth, don't try and interfere with experienced enemies to start with. Jaheira seems to be able to work out when we should fight and when we should flee.

His last piece of advice was to listen to your friends. Khalid and Jaheira say we are ready (level 3) to investigate Nashkel mine, so off we go.

We kill one kobold, then a second. I've been pierced with an arrow so Jaheira casts barkskin. The next group of four kobolds are quickly killed but not before one has hit me hard (critical hit). I explain that I'm going to have to rest and everybody groans.

Four more kobolds and another (critical) hit means I have to cure my wounds. The next group of four only have one bow so are easy prey. My barkskin wears off so Khalid grabs his shield and fronts me as we tear through a group of nine kobolds.

Khalid fronts Imoen as she de-traps a natural bridge, then fronts me as we cut down the next group of kobolds. A ghast stuns Khalid but I'm able to chunk it immediately and he takes minor damage (35/36hp).

The next group of kobolds has a commando, and despite Khalid's magical ring (fire resistance) he takes several hits. Jaheira heals him while Imoen removes three more traps and he declares he is fit to continue.

We clear kobolds, another commando, a ghoul and two oozes without injury. Jaheira and Khalid flank Imoen and myself, and we rest before discovering a small alcove leads to a larger cavern. A half-orc cleric called Mulahey is inside and must be dealt with.

Jaheira has protected us from fear and cast bless, but also manages to doom Mulahey as he runs away. We focus on his skeletons and kobolds, then follow him. Khalid resists a rigid thinking spell, I refuse to negotiate and Jaheira kills him with a (critical) dart.

An assassin called Nimbul is waiting for us in Nashkel. As he attacks Imoen sniggers. Her snare badly wounds him, and he panics. I give chase but Khalid switches to his longbow and claims the kill.

Back to Beregost to deal with Tranzig. We rest first and when we confront him I'm upset to find Imoen hasn't snared his room overnight (four failed attempts and I got bored of resting each time). Instead we disrupt his spells and Khalid adds another name to his tally. I'm killing the minions and he's going for the glory, this has got to stop.

We stumble across Teven and his gang. I'm in the lead and they are helped by three Black Talon Elite soldiers. I gulp SEVEN blue potions to stay alive. Khalid is badly mauled too and we're lucky to leave Larswood intact.

(should have stuck with the second row kensai approach and let Khalid hold them off)

Sorsha day 40
Just a quick note to say Sorsha is still in there swinging despite getting ambushed by the amazons… used Algernon's cloak to turn Lamalha and Zella long enough to summon their pets then just sat back and watched the carnage!



On a tactics note I’ve allowed Sorsha to settle into the role of party healer because with her +1 to casting speed and her general lack of grunt it just makes sense… perhaps it’s just me but I find the weakness of some characters a perverse advantage because it removes the temptation to commit them into battle.

The loot;
Helm of Infravision, Bracers of defence 7, Ring of Infravision, Leather armour +2, Wand of Fear (20), Wand of Missiles (100), Boots of grounding, Wand of Fire (20) & Imoens’ Artefact.

[touch_of_the_void]

Unfortunately my all-druid game is going to be on-hold for a while... There's some problem with the power supply to my gaming laptop and so I'm not able to recharge the battery / run on mains power... The machine itself seems to be fine, I just can't use it until I get the power supply replaced.

It's funny that I should suffer electrical issues given that since hitting level 5 Arande and co have been trooping around cheerfully annihilating everything with Call Lightning...

[The Fred]

Maybe they annihilated your power supply too?

[Grond0]

After a few solo attempts I thought I would try a different tack with a party this time.  However, rather than use the standard NPCs I've rolled up a party through multiplayer (though transferred to singleplayer).  Perhaps showing desperation this is very much a power-gaming party.  Constituents are:
Reductio - drow bard
Human berserker (will eventually dual to mage)
Half-orc wizard slayer
Human kensai (will eventually dual to thief)
Human ranger (will eventually dual to cleric)
+1 NPC - will be Imoen in BG1

They have all got maximum scores in strength (with 90+ exceptional strength where applicable), dexterity and constitution + other attributes of use to them.  Originally I was aiming to have a berserker dual to cleric and fighter to druid, but the latter is virtually impossible to get maximum scores by normal rolling so I changed to berserker mage and ranger cleric.  That gives access to druidic spells, though leaves the party a bit light on priests.  The party is set up with a view to taking on BG2, rather than BG1, but shouldn't have any problems with the latter since I know that so much better.

I've reinstalled mods as well - set-up is slightly more difficult than previously to partly compensate for the cheesy characters.  My intention this time is to complete at least SoA with this party, i.e. continue outside no-reload if Reductio dies.  As the furthest I've got previously is just past the Underdark I suspect that I'm never likely to be able to successfully no-reload it without knowing what the remaining opposition consists of.

Human ranger (will eventually dual to cleric)
...  Originally I was aiming to have a berserker dual to cleric and fighter to druid, but the latter is virtually impossible to get maximum scores by normal rolling so I changed to berserker mage and ranger cleric.  That gives access to druidic spells, though leaves the party a bit light on priests.

Hi Grond0 and welcome aboard. I assume you want a cleric that can hold his own in melee but as you didn't take a kit... I'm just curious why dual and not a multi?

I did look at the kits, but decided none of them would add much - as you say the focus of the party will be on melee (at least in BG2), rather than missile or I might have gone for an archer.  Similarly, as the characters are all looking forward to BG2, I didn't feel I needed the benefits a multi-class would have in BG1 and the dual-classed character (at level 9) will get access to the best clerical magic a bit earlier.

Sorsha day 73
On day 47 the second group of assassins proved even easier than the first… again the cloak had them fighting amongst each other so I let Imoen ‘bring the rain’!



After using subterfuge to locate the bandits’ home base (first time) I decided to do some side quests before turning on them… truth is I just was not confident of winning yet.

I returned to the bandit camp (second time) on day 62 & entered the main tent… Branwen put her new cleric abilities to the test by neutralizing Venkt with ‘Command’ & Imoen cast 3 fireballs before being overwhelmed by arrows. I wanted Imoen back up before continuing so Sorsha cast invisibility on the group & we made good our escape.



On day 67 we finish the rest of the bandits off with fireballs… no SCS doesn’t cheat (much).



On day 72 we saved Aldeth from the druids without bloodshed thanks to having Jaheira in the party but on day 73 I encountered the dreaded “no valid response” bug whilst chatting with Tiber, so that’s probably it for Sorsha unless I can transfer the save… stay tuned.
