new party

Remove all ads!

what do you ppl think about my new party? It's my first evil party. I've only gotten about halfway into the game before, but I restarted now. So here goes:

str dex con int wis cha
Drow fighter-wizard 15 20 16 17 4 8

halfling
rogue- ilusionist 13 20 15 13 12 3

aasimar conjurer 12 18 17 18 9 6

drow cleric of
talos 16 16 15 7 18 8

half orc barb. 20 18 18 6 11 1

I'm considering removing the rogue and making my leader a fighter/wizard/rogue to reduce party size because of all the ECM races

 

It sounds good, the races will present a problem at the beginning of the game, especially with your spell casters not having as many spells. Overall it looks good, have fun with it.

P.S. Welcome to the boards , and no leet, (just to save you from other, more evil Newbslayers... *cough*chevalier*cough* LG my arse)

I see that you tend to use odd numbers a lot. Unless you're min-maxing or need 13 STR, 13 DEX, 15 DEX or 13 WIS for feats, that's not going to do you any good. Bonus rises every two points, on each even number. Thus #1 should have 16 STR 16 INT or 14 STR 18 INT. Don't get more than 4 levels of fighter. Spells enhancing melee power become more potent with levels.

#2 had better get 12 STR and 14 INT, which is, in fact, still not enough. You are going to need skill points for buying rogue skill ranks cross-classed as an illusionist. Also, arcane spellcasting necessitates a high intelligence score.

#3 doesn't really need to be Aasimar. Drow is better in this case (from your stat point allocation I judge that you aren't really roleplaying, so I'm sticking to power reasons). Even tiefling is, if you take 20 INT. Aasimar is good in two cases: divine casters and downright 4 stat points advantage. Human racial feature, one additional feat, 4 additional skill points at start and one per level, is also a nice thing to have, especially for a wizard. Remember, though, that 2 points over tiefling is but a mere +1 bonus to one stat and related roles. Nothing all that special. Same is to tiefling over human unless you take 20 INT.

#4, again: CON 16 INT 6 or CON 14 INT 8. Unless you're making a tiny litle powergamish IWD2 Viconia, Aasimar is better (20 WIS) or plain human (free feat and free skill point per level). Drow eats up two levels (whole spell rank) and gives you nothing especially useful for a cleric. If you're going to wear heavy armour, all DEX over 12 is wasted. 16 DEX isn't enough to provide decent AC without a nice plate, so you'd better cut it to 12 and divide the 4 points between STR and CON - heavy damage, lots of HP, still nice AC. You can also reduce your STR and allocate points to DEX, thus getting 20 DEX and weapon finesse... and a monk level if lawful to add your wis to AC, foregoing any armour (carrying capacity stops being a problem) in favour of at least a +4 bonus similar to DEX bonus, also receiving the benefits of evasion. If not lawful and thus monk impossible, take a ranger level for free dual-wielding (finesse doesn't like shields).

#5, you needn't even that amount of INT if you're not roleplaying and the character isn't a talker. It's not going to be a skillmaster, anyway, so you'd better put that in wisdom for a nice will save increase.

And I'm not evil. I'm lawful good.

 

Go the evil doers!!!

 

Luck to you!

I dont know if I should point this to you or not.. but I dont think that signature is allowed according to the Forum Rules.. Just a hint (and no, this is not a slaughter - just a little help )

@ Beastmaster

btw. nice party if you do what chevalier says.

 

dman: Do you mean 'Chev the evil slayer of newbs' or Chev the slayer of evil newbs?

Beastmaster: You have 3 characters with a +2 racial bonus to charisma, but who is gonna be your spokesman? Or do you prefer to intimidate all live with your powerhouse?
