Journal 7.0, diary of Aria Joyce, an auramaster, Updated: Final notes Options

[pekkae]

Hi

Welcome.

Yet another journal, as the weather is terrible and I have some time (well, a few days)

The rules:

- Auramaster PC
- Max HP's for NPC's
- No non protagonist related forging (though if auramaster doesn't get amazing equipment, we will most likely forge Vagrant's stuffs)
- One custom NPC (a fighter mage multiclass, we'll decide later which one)
- Rotating crew in the beginning
- We are looking to completely dominate and blast away all encounters
- Looking to try the new stuffs
- Tomes from bg1
- Starting exp from BGTotSC
- Insane all the way (well, except two early game liches & final part of the final )

Edit:And we have the following tweaks

- Multiple strongholds
- Simplified Economy
- A few class changes from IAtweaks
- Tower of Deception (we did it in chapter 6)

Let's see how far we can go.

Also, a question regarding next steps.

#1

I'm going to forge Nature's gift.

My plan was to hit spellhold between 2,3-2,35 Mexp; clear the spellhold xp cap and then quaff away the potion, is that doable? (I remember I've had problems with the golem ambush, as in I got the ice golem there even though PC was under the cap but my elvish F/M has surpassed it (because of elven ancient expertise)).

#2

Alternatively I could go on another route here - since I have oodles of stuff to do I could probably max exp pre spellhold with the quests available (+ should re-do Sibel) + do some chapter 6 quests (theShal, Firkraag, Trolls etc.) and then start spellhold with HLA's (should be doable, even on insane).

As in:

- hexxat
- belm
- lilarcor
- king sthrom's guardians
- squirreled away
- sewer raksasha
- korgan's quests
- borinali
- limited wish
- founder of trademeet
- ashideena
- sewer gang
- mekrath
- planar prison
- Bard stronghold
- king & queen
- pirates
- fighter stronghold,
- bard stronghold
- mage stronghold (what's left)
- Dorn's quests
- Anomen's quests

And then hop to more advanced encounters:

- Firkraag
- Finish pally stronghold
- Trolls
- TheShal
- WK Levels 1+2+3

... and then guarded compound is probably doable + the sewer geg as well.
