Some questions Options

[Shadan]

I am planning my new run in V5, but I have some questions:
1. I haven't found Limak's Brain in my previous 4.2 run. Where should be it? (If this is a spoiler, send me in PM pls...)
2. I have read somewhere on this forum, if I have Valygar in my party, I can find 2 Dagger of the Star +4, one for his improved Katana and one for Grandfather of Assasins. Is this right?
3. I am planning the following setup:
human vagrant ptrotagonist
human ranger9 > cleric dual
Valygar (SKed to Swashbuckler > fighter dual class)
Nalia or Aerie (SKed to wild mage)
Haer'dalis

My question is twofolded:
First of all I have never changed kit and class in SK, so I don't know how to do it. Suppose I have to get the NPC in the party, delete all what I find at him in SK, then give a class and XP, and make levelups. Am I right? Any suggestion what should I care for?
Secondly I would like to play wild mage. Sadly there isn't any improved items wih extra spell slots for mages except protagonist, Nalia or necromancer... I would like to play with Aerie cause of romance, but I have found any items as extra spellslots. Since I have only 5 chars, any extra spellslots would be great. Any suggestions? Or shall I leave her and take Nalia with his ring?

Thx for answers and help in advance.

Another questions popped in my mind: Is it possible to use character specific items with thief HLA (Use Any Item).

Nope , UAI has been toned down in V5 , basically the NPC specific items and some class specific items are excluded form the UAI list ( things like the bard mail + druid helm ) this still leaves alot of items you CAN use , but also prevents exploiting the ability

-edit found the list!

Thank you sikret.

that was a very good idea to protect some items against use an item. What are these items?

You are welcome.

Here is the list of items which are protected against UAI. If you have suggestions to add to this list, don't hesitate to send them:

• Oak of the High Forest (Cernd)
• True Sword of Arvoreen +4 (Mazzy)
• Corthala Family True Blade +5 (Valygar)
• Improved Corthala Family Armor (Valygar)
• Protector of The Woods (Usable by rangers)
• The Truth +5 (usable by single class good aligned warriors)
• Red Coral Armor +6 (usable by vagrants & stalkers)
• Judgement Day +5 (usable by single class good aligned warriors)
• Flail of Defending and Wounding +5 (usable by single-class rangers)
• Improved Firecam Armor +3 (Keldorn)
• Boots of The Ranger Lord (usable by rangers)
• Improved Boots of The Ranger Lord (usable by rangers)
• Boots of The Woodland (usable by rangers)
• Holy Avenger +5 (usable by paladins)
• Grandmaster of Flowers (usable by monks)
• Golem Slayer +5 (usable by single-class mages)
• Eternal Melody +5 (usable by bards)
• Helm of Clarity (usable by druids)
• Axe of the Lakesider +4 (Usable by vagrants & Stalkers)
• Jansen Adventure Wear (Enhanced)
• Memory of the Apprenti (Usable by single-class mages)

note changing NPC classes / stats results in them not being able to use their custom items
