My party is missing something

Remove all ads!

I feel like my party is not compelete.
well heres my party:

Human Paladin (swords) [Leader 18 chrisma]
Human Fighter (bow)
Half-Elf Fighter/Thief (Bow)
Half-Elf Celric/Mage (hammer)

I put what they use alot in ( ) for you.

1.Im a missing anything, if so tell me.
2.Do you guys like my Party??
(number 2 is not that important)
3.And do you think i can make it
though the game??

 

you can make it with that. you may consider adding a bard. their lore is so underrated, and, they get a song which regenerates hp for your entire party. pretty much eliminates the need for a cleric as a healer.

other note: your only spellcaster will level up pretty slowly being multi classed. shouldnt be a real problem as spellcasters are not as necessary as in BG.

good luck.

 

may i ask whats your party?
And for lure the highter the number
the more you have??

That's completely do-able.

My first time through was with a 4 member party almost just like that: Paladin, Fighter/Cleric, Fighter/Thief, Cleric/Mage. Only difference I see is you'll just be relying on one character for healing where I had two, but you'll have a fighter that can put up to 5 points in weapons. Only change I'd make in your party would be to have the fighter use bows and axes.

Having said that though, a bard would be a worthy addition, especially if you have HOW installed (which gives new bard songs as you level up). With a bard you can forget about adding points to your thief's pickpocket and put those points somewhere more useful. Also, a bard equiped with bracers can cast mage spells- my second time through I gave my bard one common spell per level, so he'd be able to cast 3 magic missles, 3 fireballs, etc.

In addition to what's been said already the only thing I'd add is the lack of front line fighters. It's true you have 3 warrior types but only one who uses a melee weapon. The C/M can't wear most armor so he's out of the front. The same goes for the F/T. That leaves the Fighter and Paladin. If you fighter is using a bow he won't be as effective again attack in melee. In this situation I can see you paladin getting overrun. But it could work OK it you keep moving the fighter to block and soak up damage.

I might change the fighter to a melee weapon the add a bard or druid for ranged attack and back up spell casting. If you're C/M goes down who will heal him?

Good Luck!

 

currently, I have a ranger, ftr/thf and a dual ftr/druid. it is easy sometimes, but other areas, it is really hard. like lower dorns deep for example. have to do lots of hit and run. but, all three can fight really well, and can all wear plate and carry shields. may have to add another later on.

 

i think u need a druid

 

Having recently completed the game for the second time, I'm of the opinion that this is easier with a smaller party rather than a larger one. First time through with a party of six - containing a good mix, second time (with HoW) only two (elf fighter and elf thief/mage, and with the latter only the final battle of HoW really proved a major problem. Currently added a half-elf fighter/cleric to try it on heart of fury mode.

A healer isn't really necessary in my opinion, it just shortens the time spent resting. The latter took me the best part of 5,000 game days.

 

My celric/mage is wearing Fullplate armor,
and a hammmer +1. and he is doing fine so far. Well not really. MY whole party was hurt bad, i cast as my healing spells i got.
wasn't much. then i decide to rest, so i can heal that way. but more monster came and killed my whole party. i wasn't ready.
lucky i had quicked saved it earlyier in that level.

But i don't think ill get past,
Yxunomei in level 5.(piont of the story lol)

I don't think my pasrty has what is takes,to do it? What should i do?

i beat her with two. you can do it. load her up with those +2 arrows you find.

 

Yours may work. I went therough the game with a party of six as fallows Ranger, Pally, cleric, Thief, Mage (conjurer i think) , and a cleric/illushionist(gnome)

 

I lost to Yxunomei!!

i changed around my front line for the fight.

Ok i gave my Bow Fighter my paladin's +2 large sword. And i bought a nice shield.
Then i bought The Sword of Myrloch Vale a +3 large sword to give to my paladin. (allmost all my $ the sword was)
Thoose where the changes to my party.

Here is how i lost to Yxunomei.
I took off my celric/mages armor and casted as many offense of spells i had, while my bow fighter and fighter/thief used up all my arrows of +2. then i switch my bow fighter to the sword and my paladin and Fighter was melee. My thief now useing plain old arrows on anything he sees. My celric/mage casting bless and any spell like that. and healing.then i just took my celric/mage to melee too. i had about 5 potions to heal my guys.i useed all of them. I was so close to killing Yxunomei, then my celric/mage died first with my paladin then my the rest of my party was left to Yxunomei's mercy.

What did i do wrong???

 

It aslo might be my bow and my level of my guys. the multi-class guys are on 5/5 while the others are on 6 to 7. i using the black bow with the fighter and a short bow +1 for the theif/fighter.

True I had a party of six. My guess is just try again and hope for better luck.
