POLL: Creatures (POLL)

Remove all ads!

Think about the best creature you can summon, about the 3 worst creature type in the game, and about the most dangerous individual enemy.
There are similar types of the same creature (fe. Fire Giant, Elite Fire Giant). Vote to Elite Fire Giant if you think that it is the dangerous, not the Fire Giant. Vote to Fire Giant,if you think that it is enough dangerous to cause a serious combat (so in this case it is certain that its Elite is even more dangerous)
So please do not vote to the same creature type many times (f.e. Ullitharid, Mind Flayer, or the Fire Giants). But Lich and Demi-Lich are not identical! These count as different creatures.

Greater elementals are just wonderful
Planetars dont look half as cool

 

But if a Planetar and an Elemental Prince were fighting, then probably the Prince would fall.

 

yeah thats true but i said only that elemental princes look more . Everybody say that Planetars are the most powerful summons in the game.
Thats not fair 'couse mages are already overpowered with their IA and druids dont have such a good summon

 

Yes, this is true. The party is the most important thing for the most classes except Wizards, because the other classes are a little weak alone (I know that the game is playable in solo with a druid, fighter, etc, but if a Multiplayer Deathmatch Mod would be created, then the "Any Wizard Class" vs "any other class" fight would be won by the wizard... (Chain Contingecny(Spell Turning, Mislead, Prot from Magical Weapons) + Time Stop + IA + Dragons Breath + etc. ))

 

I killed Drizzt with a solo Figher Thief + Imoen and it was really hard. Even with time stop and spell triggers. I can't imagine doing it without them.

 

Yeah, that is not a simple battle. But everybody thinks different way about the specific battles. In my humble opinion it is not a really hard battle (I fought this battle when I was playing BGII the 2nd time; and I do not prefer killing Drizzt, because I am a good character)

Try this. Every time I have, the Prince won. Or do it this way. Summon a planetar and have it attack OgreMoch in Sendai's Enclave. He is identical to the Princes that the druid can summon. The planetar will die very fast.

 

Yes that is true. I did not write down exactly what I thought.
I wanted to say that a Player Summoned Planetar and a Player Summoned Elemental Prince would fight. And Zaaman Rul or Chan would not have any chance, but in case of Sunnis: I think the chance is: Sunnis : Planetar = 60 : 40 = 3 : 2.
But it is important to note that Elemental Princes are not identical! Ogremoch is a greater Prince than Sunnis! Just see the damage (Sunnis: 3D10, Ogremoch: even 5D10+2).

I have a story about Sunnis. This was the my easiest Yaga-Shura fight.
I used the Greater Elemental Summoning spell, and Sunnis appeared in front of Yaga-Shura.
Yaga started to hit Sunnis, but Sunnis is immune to blunt damage (a little odd: I did not realize this in other battles)! So Sunnis killed Yaga-Shura alone...
