Hello all! Now that the new iPad patch is out, I will be starting another evil game. Here are the NPCs I know I want on my team:
Dorn (Two-handed sword)
Shar-Teel (dual to Thief and go crazy daggers)
Baeloth (so much magic! Plus he looks fun)
Viconia (Sling and healing)
And I am trying to decide between Eldoth and/or Montaron for that last spot, though probably Eldoth since I've rarely used him before.
For CHARNAME I am trying to decide between Avenger or Fighter/Druid. Here are my considerations:
Avenger Pros:
- With the new patch, can now wear the Ankheg armor
- Chromatic Orb and some of the other spells are very good later on, CHAIN LIGHTNING being amazing (I realize I will have to wait until BG2EE to use it however)
- The shapeshifts are nice
- Doesn't need the Con tome, so I can fork it over to Dorn who would really love it.
Avenger Cons:
- LOW chance of ever dualing over to Fighter (it is unlikely that I will start with 16 Strength and get the tome for 17, as Druids need stats elsewhere. Shar-Teel will probably get the Strength tome unless I roll amazingly)
- Not great with weapons
- Not as many HPs
- Some of the bonus spells aren't that great (I think that Web and Lightning Bolt are kind of crappy because I can mess up my party too easily)
Fighter/Druid Pros:
- Decent at Fighting (can specialize and get extra attacks), decent at healing/berries, other spells
- The Druid will level up really quickly later on, so I will get to those (not bonus) spells not too far behind an Avenger
- More Armor Versatility, I don't HAVE to rely on Ankheg plate in BG2EE and I can use Tamoko's armor eventually (minor point until BG2EE)
- I can actually start with a decent strength and maybe benefit from that tome
Fighter/Druid Cons:
- Slow to get that first Level up
- Not too many great weapon choices (+2 Club and Icingdeath IIRC, unless I go Quarterstaff but I probably won't)
- Feels like a Jaheria ripoff
- RIDICULOUS to roll great stats for because of that 15 Charisma
Which of these would you suggest I choose for this party? Or perhaps something different? Bear in mind, I have recently played a Cleric and a Mage, so I would like to do something Fighter-ey or Druid-y. I suppose I don't have to be a druid, but I thought it would work nicely with that group.
Let me know what you think!
