Halfing Slinger (BG2 - TDD)

Remove all ads!

Turns out Halflings can't be Slingers. That BITES. Oh well. I'm open for TDD Character ideas anyway

Here are some ideas reject or accept its up to you >>>>

Choose the one melee weapon as a club. David (good name, David from the Bible, killed Goliath with a sling) can only use club and sling. David is not a magic user? so spells are out of question. Also, consider taking strength down 2 and giving the 2 to wisdom. You'll get a great Halfing with great saving throws (Cheers Ragusa).

Is this "Slinger" a new kit for TDD? Just curious.

 

Halfling slingfighter sounds pretty cool - I evaluated the concept though lost in direct competition with my halfling cavalier

Sounds good enough for me since slings are excellent weapons, go for it !

Well, i guess i could make him a Human Slinger and then change his Race to Halfling. I think it's dumb Halflings can't be Rangers.

And yes, the Slinger is a new kit. It's the equavilant of an Archer (I think)

There's also a NICE Class called the Rythym Warrior. They get a bonus to AC every odd level, and an extra 1/2 attack every 4 (I think)

I made a Halfling one, who started with -2 AC and 7/2 Attacks! I gave him 2 in SS, 2 in Sling, 2 in Single Handed weapon style. with a Shortsword, he gets 4 (!) Attacks a round at lvl 7. But they can't wear armor (Big deal, heh).

Here's an Idea. A Half-Orc Rythm Warrior and a Halfling Slinger. Sound Powerful? Hehe

 

Indeed cool, especially for Tolkien always said Halflings are very good with stones. In 3rd edition D&D they even get a recial bonus on throwing with stones. So it's a great class...... Maybe a new solo-challenge here? A 696666 halfling sling fighter? piece of cake

 

Well, the problem is, i have to change a bunch of other things to do it.

However - I could make a Halfling /Archer/ who gets bonuses to ranged attacks. Halfling Archer is a Fighter Class.

 

The only things you need to change are race and avatar (I suggest halfling fighter) in a BG-2 editor of your choice (usually SK. It works best with a pre-generated char (as made for multiplayer- don't know why though).

That way I made a halfling skald and a halfling conjurer (both with cleric avatars)

 

Hi,

I know this thread is a bit old, just browsing on this board for the first time.

I was under the impression that archers got their bonuses in any missile weapon, not just bows. So you could make a human archer with proficiency in slings and change their race to halfing. Works the same for the bracers of archery - they give bonus to all missile attacks.

I was also under the impression that halfings got a +1 bonus to slings. My halfing in BG1 certainly did. I haven't played a halfing in BG2 (yet..).

The new classes in TDD sound interesting. Strange that they don't allow a halfing slinger though, that is crazy.

Cheers,

I know! Why can't Halflings be rangers? They'd make GREAT rangers.
