    She is not my sister. She did not live with Grub in the hills of Zarchancheroustiv-tac-tac-rodmenkur-tao-vu where he was born and lived with Orcs. Grub has no sense of family when he looks at Imoen. She was never there.

    She is a Child of Bhaal as I, but that does not make me look at her as family.

    I'd rather fight face to face with any beast in this game than hide in shadows, turn invisable, tuck my tail, run and hide then come out again and repeat it until the creature is dead.

    At least I give these foul beasts a fighting chance, which is why I have four fighters in my party, so each one can stand up to them one on one with wit, sword and bravery!

    As for Vampires, they are far from defenseless.

    [​IMG] Oh boy... I guess I was wasting my words in the "So who didn't take Imoen" thread <shakes head> ah well...

    Sorry Syl, I guess I couldn't watch your back as I said I could ;)

    [​IMG] I wasn't refering to RPG I was refering to morals. I you troll through the other thread you will see I agree with your choice of dumping the lass. I was just reminding you of how moral it is to backstab a vampire from the shadow compared to leaving a very vague relative naked, poor, hungry, scared and depressed in the middle of a BIG and DARK dungeon populated with scary creatures.

    Heh, heh, heh! I believe that dungeon was pretty thoroughly depopulated on the way out; Imoen could follow in our wake! ;)

    I'm sure that's just what she did, I bet she started to walk away and then simply disappeared... Cast invisibilty on herself and followed us out! ;)

    Now let's look at this.

    Imoen sneaks into Irenicus' Dungeon all by herself or escapes from her area within the Dungeon. Passes through wards, monsters and traps littered within, picks my lock and sets me free.

    Fine. Whoever this lass is, Grub owes her one and will repay that debt when he can however he can.

    Grub arrives in Spellhold and saves Imoen, repaying this debt that he owed her. She is now free to do as she wishes how she wishes.

    If she was able to lurk through traps, monsters and wards found in Irenicus' Dungeon, surely you have faith enough in her abilities as a Mage/Thief that she can get herself out of Spellhold yes?

    In fact, I watched her with my very eyes walk up the stairs and vanish into the shadows. If any, I'm the fucking one who's still left behind in Spellhold while she's pounding back mugs of cold ale at the Copper Cornet.

  7. Er, I was actually joking by the way - no offence anyone.

    I think I will create a new Chaotic Evil Fighter/Mage/Thief or a Lawful Evil Paladin Charecter in my next game and kill any thing with the breath of life in it, except for the shop keepers untill I got every thing I needed from them and then kill them. But if they don't have the breath of life in them, like the undead. I will still kill them and make them plain dead. I will have Korgan, Viconia and Edwin in my party only. I should a lot of EXP's and my party will level up very fast.

    I think a Paladin has to be Lawful Good doesn't he/she?

    I read on the TSR site I think, That they had decided that Drizzt's would be a high level fighter reflecting his upbringing and a low level ranger reflecting his lack of clerical spells. At least that it said on an artical about the upcomming 3rd edition forgotton realms suplement. Irelevent to Drizzt's SOA stats I know but a better translation of his abilities as seen in the books.

    I have, drizzt has exactly the stats that syl said but hes level 16(if i remember correctly) he has 9/2 attacks i forget his thac0 exactly but its like -11 and he wears the boots of speed, which can't be removed from his body, just like wulfgar and his thrown aegis fang and the sucked down version of arkanis gath with his shortsword of backstabbing. They equip monsters with stuff that cant be taken off and have something else in there inventories so u think that was what they were using.(im positive about all my info unless i noted otherwise) :)

    (my bad, syl was wrong on his charisma, its 17, just like that bitch cattie brie) :)

    This may be a little misplaced But what have You done when the following happens:

    We defeated dritzz's group after a hard, but honest battle. Later in the game some mage just pops up, takes your hardfought items, and dissapears faster than chinchikka fast pawns.. :(:
    Don't any of You find this a little misplaced(unfair) or is there some reason for this "apperance"

    For those who wish to know the actual stats the game uses to determine drizzt, they are as follows:

    No Class level 16

    Str: 13
    Dex: 20
    Con: 15
    Int: 17
    Wis: 17
    Cha:14

    Saving throws
    P,P,DM: 1
    R,S,W: 3
    P or P: 3
    BW: 4
    S: 5

    MR: 98%
    Slashing: 30
    Piercing: 30
    Bludgeoning: 30
    Missile: 30
    HP: 92
    AC -10
    Thac0: 0
    # Of Attacks: 10
    His weapons (for him) deal1d12+3 and 1d8+5
    He is magically hasted (increasing his attacks to 11 and increasing his movement)
    He gains 50% fire resistance from one weapon
    A 2-point bonus to AC for the other (for a total of -12)
    Magic chain armor that reduces his AC another 2 (for total of -14)
    Has another pair of boots (which somehow he wears with the first, that give him improved haste if he is reduced to 25% HP)
    He has a script that makes he start regenerating (like a troll) when he is reduced to 50% HP
    I believe that he drops two swords and a suit of chain (may be reading the code wrong here) I've never killed him so I don't know that one for sure.

    I don't remember if either of the haste spells increase AC but it might be even better. He is also 98% immune to fear and level draining.

    I think that makes him a pretty tough customer.

    I could look for the wizard, but I'm not in the mood.
