Mongerman's IA4.1 adventure Options

[Mongerman]

Hello all. I started with IA3 and left it due to work commitments. Hopefully i'll be able to finish IA4.1 this time round. Before I start, I'll explain my choice of protagonist, planned party etc etc. Hopefully this will be of some help to all players.

Choice of protagonist : Blade with maxed str/dex/int, 16 con, 3 wis, 15 cha.

Why: It was a tough choice between a f/m as recommanded by thetruth, and my own previous experiences with the blade. However, the blade finally wins out as:

1. With offensive spin and tensers, the Blade's thaco is equivalent (give or take minus 1) to the f/m.
2. With un-nerfed tables (recommanded component of IA), blade gets lvl 7 spells
3. By soloing the un-modded parts of the game, a blade can reach lvl 12-13. Which means when I pick up my party, they will all be at a higher level, as opposed to being xp hogs
4. I hate haer delis
5. I have a blade from BG1 tutu

With my choice of protagonist made, I know I will miss out on the expanded mage/ranger quest. maybe next time.

Choice of NPCs
1.A multiplayer created R/C kicked out till i reach desired level to recruit NPCs.
2. Nalia, to be replaced by Imoen
3. Minsc SK'd to berserker
4. Keldorn

I'll post again once I get underway.

Regards

So, you didn't actually ignore the maze, Romulas!

No I did not. The first time I tried it during the underdark I faced the wall of frustration and left it. Later on I went back and noticed the patterns for it. Pretty nice way to do a maze actually.

As for thors hammer, I forged the thing and it is defineately worth it. I noted that keldorn on a single hit did the normal hammer plus electrical damage along with 68 points more, this was the extra damage of 10d10 given 10% of the time. I would say that it was worth the bucks.

One suggestion though sikret. Since the hammer is named for the thunder god (even though no association is given), perhaps it would be fitting to also be used as a missile weapon just as the real hammer is. Just my opinion.
