Post subject:  Party dilemma
Current party:

Wild Mage
Monk
Keldorn
Aerie
Minsc
Jan

I`m about to enter Bodhi`s gauntlet, and the dilemma Jan VS Imoen is playing. Now i know Imoen is mighty annoying, but i`m also considering switching Minsc for Sarevok ultimately (since i never took Sarevok with me, so i can do the soul thingie with imoen if i`m picking him up as well).
I`m getting a bit tired of Jan`s speeches as well, so i`m not planning to keep him for amusement only(that`s why i picked him up in the first place).

So the real question is: Does Jan add something to the team that Imoen doesn`t, does levelling in thief brings something good? Jan is now illusionist lvl 13 and imoen will be mage lvl 13 as well.

Also for the future: will Sarevok be an addition compared to Minsc? Or a worthy substitute (apart from running experience behind probably)?

You get some nice traps with thiefs on high level, and the use any item skill.
And I believe Imoen can't open all locks in ToB. The con of Jan is that he can't memorise spells like Horrid Wilting and Death Spell. Sarevok can kick some mayor ass, I don't know about Minsc though, I never had him with me for a long time.

First off, Sarevok kicks enormous amounts of ass...Misc can do some serious damage dual-wielding flail of the ages+ Crom Faeyr, but give Sarevok a good two-handed sword and your enemy is in for a world of hurting. :) Your wild mage will be incredibly powerful at high levels, too.

Imoen and Jan...if you're going to go with Sarevok it's best to have Imoen tag along. She has some good banters with Sarevok, as a co-bhaalspawn. :) She becomes a very powerful mage too, while Jan is always a bit limited with his multiclass. (even tho a gnomish fighter/illusionist is an incredibly dangerous class) There's my advice. :) You do have tons of spellcasters tho...apart from the monk everyone can cast some sort of spell in your party.


Planning on a BG game with a party of only bards, should be fun. :) Now that Minto is less likely to surface every month i might just as well start a regular BG2 game.

And the monk is your best answer to enemy spellcasters.
The Monk in my game (protagonist) has 103% magic resistence. :P

Monk and wizard slayer...you should see them taking on liches on their own, after 10 seconds theyc an barely fire off another spell because of the slayer's cumulative %'s of spell failure. :)

Keldorn can`t cast spells (apart from special abilities like dispel magic and true seeing, which i use very often) since he`s some special class dunno inquisitor maybe. So if i switch minsc for sarevok, i`ll have 3 characters that don`t cast spells. So i could use a good second mage i, so i decided to take Imoen along.

Just entered the Underdark, already found myself a timestop spell woohoo. Now i can finally start to own big time. I think i waited too long to depart to chapter 3, since i`m already gaining special abilities. So basically i was already owning :P .
There`s also a new (lvl9) spell that gives you extra spell slots for 24 hours. I think that it works well with the Reckless Dweomer spell, before i go to sleep increase my spell slots heavily, can`t be bad. I bet i can abuse this :)

Hehe i just did a little experiment, still hadn`t used my lvl1 spells and decided to expand my memory a bit. So before i slept i tried to cast that spell, result in the end was that i had an extra lvl 6, 7 and 8 spell, 2 extra lvl 8 spells and 2 times 2 extra lvl 9 spells ... :shock:

The effect last for 24 hours btw. And by abusing it you can create an über-mage .. i think there`s also an effect that adds 3 lvl 1 spells .. so if you play a bit with it i bet you can cast maybe 15 comets and timestops, not even mentioning horrid wiltings .. cool :)
