Solo character

taking the fighter to level 26 was my choice....and to be honest i was very happy how this chararacter turned out....
but its your choice.....i dualed him at level 26 and you can dual him at any other level (not beyond 26, since if you dual him at level 27 or later he\she will not be able to regain the kensai class). As i said...its your choice....look at the advantages given when you dual and find the best level to dual.

 

I've not taken a solo character through to the end, but I do tend to play with a small party (usually 3). From my experience, one needs divine spells, fighting ability, hit-points and thieving skills. Thus I'd consider a Cleric/Thief multiclass (has anyone ever tried this?).

 

I've never tried a cleric/thief because they are restricted in their weapon choice. You don't need every type of skill (such as fighting - melee or ranged - thieving, magic or healing) to complete the game. I never try to use anything but single classes in solo anymore because the game is just too easy if you duel or multi class. I'm even starting to move away from the popular solo classes and use ones like skald (summoned allies would be quite good with his song maybe - I read this idea somewhere else) and avenger. Haven't gotton far yet though.

I also feel divine spells are useless. In a fight there is little time to be casting healing spells - offensive all the way. If I use offensive spells I would rather have a sorcerer. Just my personal opinion though so don'ttake it to heart.

 

Half orc can be a cleric/thief multi class and I like them. There are some good staves that can be used for a backstabbing weapon. Armor selection is very limited for an effective stealther though.

 

Charisma of 6? Excuse me, but that is just churlish.

11-12 is average in a stat. So if you can roleplay at all, you'll not want your plan like that.

The tomes in BG1 do get your stats up pretty nicely, and watcher's keep, and yes, even the bonuses in SOA. But don't do a stat as 6.

 

just because youre the spawn of the God of Murder DOES NOT mean you cant look good. how are you supposed to build an army of faithful? just fear? if you have some other type of hold (respect, good looks) then people will truly follow you

 

might as well throw in my 2 cents... berserker-thief 13/39. HLA: use any item, greater evasions, spike traps and 1 time trap, assassination.

backstab, detect and disarm traps, open locks... etc. opening locks and disarming traps is the easiest way to gain level fast, managed to level up to 13/14 through chapter 2 quickly. no problems. berserker rage to keep those pesky Imprisonment and Maze spells off my back.

 

The best class to solo with is sorc... or maybe fighter mage. Most fun for me was when I soloed a F/M/C, thats a fun class to play, you can really buff up and make up for ure ****ty thaco, especially with contingincies and spell triggers.

OT: Since when was Kangaxx or twisted rune hard? I dont understand, unless you want to be a really ethical player it takes one pro magic scroll to defeat Kangaxx and one pro magic and ,if you really want to play it safe, one shield of balduran to beat the twisted runies.

 

the max possible AC anyone can get seems to be -26. few charactors can make it to such a high AC, even with the BMU. if we just stuck to "normal" armours, it would appear that the best AC would be that of a fighter type char. since we are also speaking of the "best" solo charactor, i think we can safely ignore attributes and magic resistance(since it is possible to do the campaign multiple times and get all the good stuff) and focus solely on immunities and traps. to disarm a trap would require levels in thief.

it would seem a FMT would be a "best" solo charactor.

 

Since there are only about 6 protection from magic scrolls in the games combined, I'd save them for the more important battles (the "hidden traitor," anyone?).
