How's my party? & Who do I drop for bro to join up?

Remove all ads!

Here's my current (SoA) party:

Protagonist: Ranger/Cleric
Jaheira (romance)
Korgan
Mincs
Jan
Imoen

When I reach ToB, who would you for drop for Saervok? I'd like to add him to the party.

 

minsc since sarevok is a bether tank

 

I'd say Minsc since in my games he uses exactly the same equipment as Sarevok needs.

 

Jan because Imoens a better theif and traps aren't really as good as people say imo, unless they are layed in multiple spawn areas (The high level party you have to fight in level five of WK is a good example)

Personally however I'd drop Jan for Haer Dalis since he is a Blade, and Blades use the rouge HLA's+ their own unique HLA's and Imoen can handle the traps and magic, and take Sarevok for Minsc.

 

Jan, having Minsc and Sarevok gives you two very powerful tanks.

Jans useless compared to Imoen.

 

Damn, y'all are starting to make me think Jan is useless!

 

Because he is. Dump him and take Sarevok along instead. You cant kick out Minsc, he owns.

 

I think me (Ranger/Cleric), Jaheira, Minsc, Korgan, and Saervok in the same party might be a little overkill, don't you?

 

Nono, I think that is a pretty cool party actually. I´ve never had such a melee-oriented party. I always have atleast 2 mages, but it seems pretty heavy to me.

 

Imagine Demogorgon getting hit by 50 attacks in one round. Ouch.

Imoen should be able to handle the mage duties, and you have a good selection of druid and cleric spells, so you should be fine.

 

Just drop your PC, Sarevok is so muuuuch better

Seriously though, drop Korgan, since your party is fighter-heavy (4 warrior), and Good alignment, losing 1 evil fighter (and getting another soon-to-be-good-alignment and excellent fighter) is not much of a loss.

 

Two mages are better than four fighters.

 

Drop Jan because he's insane. He's also an insulting troublemaker; logic dictates that you shouldn't make your party members turn on another member, but if roleplayed properly (as opposed to simply ignoring his rantings) he would surely get attacked after an hour or so!
It doesn't matter who you replace him with - just drop him (preferably down a deep hole!).

 

Drop Minsc. He's nothing compared to Sarevok. If Minsc could cast spells, that might be a different story, but since he can't, he isn't worth keeping. Also, I would drop Korgan and take Keldorn. He maybe "holier than thou", but he can still pack a punch, and your party will be much more cooperative.

@Keldor - Jan isn't insane, he's just special. Very, very special. I don't think you should get rid of him, though, since he's a good backup mage and prime thief, at least backstabbing-wise.

 

Dump Jan.

If you dropped Korgan or Minsc, though, you still wouldn't be making a terrible decision. Heck, that party would do fine in ToB without Sarevok.

 

How is Minsc nothing compared to Sarevok. Minsc is just as strong, just as powerful and his rage coms in handy against spells. The only thing Sarevok has over Minsc is the Deathbringer Assualt and like 20 hit points. But Give Minsc the Vorpal sword and it evens out with the Deathbringer.

 

Eh..probably shouldn't have said nothing, but still. Those 20 hit points could be the difference between life and death, one more hit can be taken which could mean taking down the offender and not. And Sarevok can get ***** while Minsc can only get **, IIRC. That helps, maybe not a lot, but a little, which can also mean the difference between life and death.

I agree with Rastor, that party would be fine without Sarevok. Well, unless you're roleplaying of course, in which case, go with the one feel the furthest from, friendship-wise; that is if you get that into it. Or whomever you feel has the best banters.

 

Jan - Minsc and Sarevok are a very powerful set of tanks.

 

Drop jan and work on getting grandmastery in halbred. Then you can use the best 2 weapons in the game, as well as the 4th best weapon (imo). Korgan gets axe of unyielding, Minsc gets Gram the Sword of Grief, and Sarevok gets the Ravager blade. Two of these are vorpal, which is superbly cool. With you pc dual wielding flail of ages and crom faery you should breeze through tob. Although you will have trouble in the end with only one mage.

 

well, i play mainly for the party interaction and funny comments some of them have, so drop korgan.
