A mistake... I'll edit it right away... It's very pleasent picture when you give him the Hammer of Gloomfrost, who was forged by the dwarven smith in the mauntains - it's made only for dwarves... He starts to wield it with deadly accuracy, smashing heads everywhere...

That was till the first passethrough the game... After that I brought every single character till level 30 even the mage/thief to 30/30... There are some sort of potions which can increase your strenght or decrease your constitution... Something like that... Very nice... With my five godlike characters I feel really pleasent... Why don't make one or two more passethrough only to see if I can get all the items, which I couldn't...

 

Just finnished the game with this party.

Elyl

Keldaroth

Gerep

I am playing through on regular difficulty, but I am not going to use any missle weapons at all for the entire game, should be interesting. So far, however, it's been ridiculously easy.. in the Orc cave by easthaven, I esentially would just hit attack and watch them kill everything in the room.

A question: I sometimes hear people saying they are having difficulty with a 6 character party... this doesn't make sense to me... if people can solo, then wouldn't just about any 6 character party be easy breezy?

 

If you solo your PC gets up levels faster.
With six characters it usually take a long time for them to get to a resonably level.
I wouldn't say it's harder though...

 

With more than one character game is much easier, than playing with only one.

I'm soloing Female Elf Fighter/Cleric/Mage named Lia, and I use Insane difficulty this time (with Insane monsters deal double damage, but I also get double experience)

 

Just started a new game with a new party:

Keldaroth
Male Human Fighter2/Cleric*
Mace, Sling and Shield

Selenin
Female Human Fighter2/Druid*
Scimitar, Sling and Shield

Averie
Female Elf Fighter/Mage
Great Sword and Bow

Silk
Male Elf Mage/Thief
Short Sword, Dagger and Short Bow

 

With more than one character, the game is elementary...

No need for me Insane didiculty... I always make more than one passthrough with every single character from the party... That's very challenging - you could equip your characters with all the powerenhancing items and increase/decrease potions which are on handy through out the game...

 

My team of "one meter and a palm":

Male Dwarf Fighter (Axeman): Lumberjacker
Male Dwarf Fighter/Cleric: Toro Sinful
Male Dwarf Claric (rocks): Kura Bloodstream
Female Gnome Fighter (the best!!): Cachito
Female Gnome Mage (Illusionist): Ella LaPulga
Male Gnome Thief (Really good): El LaPulga.

For those unfamiliar with spanish language, a couple of things:

"Kura" is almost "Cura" that means "Priest".
"Cachito" means "piece", that little piece you hack off something .
"Ella LaPulga" comes from "Ella Laraña", (That is how it is translated the spider-like monster that Frodo and Samsagaz had to deal with in The Lord of the Rings). In Spanish it sounds like "She, the Spider (araña=spider)". My character sounds like "She, the Flea (Pulga=Flea)". And so with "El Lapulga" (He, the Flea).

I think they are a funny party . "Short??, who dayya call short, wimp?"

 

Does this mean scimitars present in IWD? I haven't noticed... is that a Luremaster thing?

 

Yes you can buy/find Scimitars in IWD without Trials of the Luremaster. You can buy normal ones at Pomab and most of the other merchants, and there are also some magical scimitars in the game (iirc you can find the +3 one that drizzt wields, but i don't know the english name).

 

Right now I am on the Burial Isle in HoW with:

12th level CG Dwarven Fighter
11th level LG Human Paladin
11th level NG Elven Ranger
13th level CG Human Cleric
13th level NG Elven Mage
15th level TN Human Thief

I plan to multi-class the Paladin, Cleric, and Thief eventually.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
FYI:
I beleive that the scimitar Drizzt carries is Iceingdeath, but I am not 100% sure on that one...been a while. The other one is definately Twinkle, but if it is in the game then I haven't run across it yet.

 

Using Dalekeeper huh?
Else Paladins cant be multi/dual cast.
Best dual cast for me was my Fighter[9]/Druid[x]
At insane he became a Fighter[9] during the fight with Yuxnoimei. By the time I left The Severed Hand his Fighter levels were reactivated. What a tank.

I believe we get IcingDeath but not Twinkle. Didnt come across that one.

 

I think there's only +3 Frostbrand scimitar in IWD (at least I didn't found other scimitars that could match Drizzt's scimitars some way)

And as I told in another thread, I'm currently soloing with LG Female Elven Fighter, who uses great swords and longbows (still in orc cave, Heart of Fury is damn hard)

 

My current party (Just finished HoW)

Dwarf NG Fighter L.20 w/Blood of the Gloomfrost and some godlike +5 crossbow from Dorn's Deep

Halfling CG Cleric L.22 w/Sceptre of Tyranny and Jamison's sling

Elf CN Mage L.18 w/Spinesheath and a stupid +1 sling


I have managed to get my dwarf "double hasted" permanently with boots of speed and some belt in Dorn's Deep somewhere (maybe random item) I didn't get it first time round- You should have seen him against Icasaracht

 

i haven't played IWD for a while so here is all i remember.....
ME- (can't remember 1st part of name)...the Bladesinger..Elven Ranger,dual weilding longswords and has a longbow

Khaar the Bloody...Dwarf Fighter,dual weilding axes with plate mail +?

Lia of the Hand-Femal Mage.....Presio's(spelling) Robe,Presio's Dagger

Frodo-Halfling Theif,short bow, short sword magical leather armor

Elmia-human female fighter/mage,dual weilding short swords,some mage robe, magical staff

that's all i remember

 

Newest, and so far best ever.

Tormus - Human Paladin; main tank and party leader
Rainne - Half-Elf Ranger Cleric; 2nd tank, main healer
Liomere - Elf Fighter; Specializing in Bows, backup tank
Myrus - Human dual-class fighter 2/druid x; awesome offensive spells, healing and backup tank
Kylee Trapspringer - Gnomish Illusionist/Thief; best mage character ever
Syvona - Half-Elf Bard; tons of options, secondary spellcaster, interesting songs

This may indeed be the ultimate power party for Icewind Dale.

 

My latest creation:

Elven Fighter/Rouge
Elven Fighter/Mage

Healing is for whimps, you might aswell rest for a few weeks every now and then

 

Been playing again recently with this party...

1. Human Paladin
2. Human Fighter
3. Half-Elf Cleric
4. Halfling Fighter/Thief
5. Human Mage
6. Half-Elf Bard

... a bit munchkin, but good fun.

 

Just beat the game for the first time with

Hieronymus von-Remus Male Human Paladin
Bequin Barkclad Female Dwarf Fighter/Rogue
Beinu Female Half-Elf Druid
Irovati Daelrod Male Half-Elf Bard
Irrik-Endil Male Gnome Illusionist

Though the battle against belhifet was screwed up, everyone but the bard was dead when belhifet was almost dead, and then he had the speed boots so I just ran around arrowing him to death...
