As you can see I do not have the figurine despite having 6k gold. I am so cheap!! Wizard has more possibilities than Fan. DoTs tick even when I am stunned. Notice that due to my high For Phantom was not able to stunlock me.

First try This is my spot. I tried the other, like in the guide for triple crown, and it did not work for me. In this corner first to engage me are Shadows which is preferable to Phantoms in the other corner. No pots, just 2 food. First it looked good, I was able to cast Spirit Shield and Essence but to my surprise I had few moments left so one Fan went off. Then I got locked and did not look good until I managed to get Siphon running and perhaps more importantly Ray of Fire. Its dps check imo. I forgot to learn Bulwark but the cape was enough. Now the tricky part. --- edit: 1 pot the yellow one

Indeed. edit: Games like this one revolve around manipulating AI, sometimes called tactics, at least on higher difficulties. This is like a puzzle with several ways to solve it. Not dynamically adapting behavior of multiplayer PvP where the real challenge is. This is playing chess against machine. That machine is stupid ..

Its like with hookers, whores or prostitutes. They are called sex workers now, like social workers. It is against reinforcing prejudices by using pejorative terminology. Doorways are part of mechanic so is spell. That someone asks: Well, if the subject to spell is "invisible" how can it be impenetrable? Is question without context. In magic world anything is possible. Besides, its not only invisible its protected by Statis Shield 999999 pt. How is blocking door like that pejorative? If I had a shield like that I block door just for fun, let alone when under attack Cmon --- edit: Note that there are people editing local game files for whatever purpose. Which seems to be fine with devs. Personally I don't care. The game is to have fun. What is not cheap?

I keep reading about exploits, cheese and cheap and shake my head. What to say? Perhaps that the game does not come with list of what is proper and whatnot and history does not ask. From where I sit, its clever because why to do it the hard way? Because I am the man and can handle the truth! I know what the designer had in mind. She talks to me during my mediations. She told me: You are the chosen and you are to glorify the truth! The true way to play. Alright whatever. Bug section -> that way.

I am lead to believe it possible to manipulate random drop by loading another save than reloading position before looting.

Power Rangers! --- edit: Facing dragons like a man in BG2 Solo sorcerer Load sequencer with Grater Malison and Ray of Enfeeblement Load contingency - 3 x Lower Resistance Start fight Contingency triggered Cast Sequencer Cast Polymorph Other to turn dragon into squirrel and beat it up with staff ktxbai

Looks like you are having fun, grats! --- So the bears .. just wanted to see it I can do it reliably. More like triple reload than triple crown. The cubs can be dealt with 1on1 no problem but papa bear can two shot me and I don't have enough dps to finish the fight quickly enough.

So basically put the points wherever you want as it will not matter much. No Mig Yes Mig No Int Yes Int .. in party of six who would notice.

Actually YES contrary to all the following answers Perception allow you to discover things from much further than without it. And this is why when you have a really low perception, even if you're above 10 in mechanics, you will see the traps at the last second before you step on it. Now you scared me.

Use the lowest number.

There is a thread which might be of your interest: Wizard talent build - http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/75514-wizard-talent-build/ Skills depend on your part composition and play style. Lore is useful even if only for scrolls as there can be times when Wiz has nothing to cast but scrolls. Athletics the usual (3?), if you scout with Wizard or initiate fights you need Stealth and Mechanics goes well with scouting and Stealth. Do not worry about it too much. Its not like its possible to break the game through skill point distribution.

Maybe I am imagining things but I have feeling that Per plays role. This feeling comes from playing with Per 3 where it seems it takes longer to detect (not traps) and search radius is smaller.

Indeed. You can pick any race you like for RP or stats and then any height you like for looks. Con is probably good investment, maxed with high Deflection some aggro management - talents allowing the tank to engage more enemies. That is all there is to for standard game play. Hard with in game companions is absolutely fine. Nobody likes to play Nature Godlike I've noticed. When bellow 50% Endurance +3 Mig + 2 Con and + 2 Dex is not too shabby. There are probably "better" picks but if one can mange to keep tank bellow those 50% consistently the bonus is significant.

Possibly because the devs did not want you to chase freaked out mobs around the map

Height is not determined necessarily by class but appearance. What difficulty do you plan to play on, what will be your party composition and how you like to play?

No strategy because I do not do it. The only thing you are missing or ignoring is that its much easier, and efficient, to do with level 3 character(s) and there is little benefit in doing so right away.

Restarted once again, due to bugged main quest but change my build and possibly philosophy too. More hitting less waving. Level 3 Valewood Dex bit down and max Con. For 71 and I can tell the difference already. For example, wolves cannot lock me no more, I like to believe Remember the canyon when arriving at Valewood for the first time? Its canyon of death, at least for the wolves. With Fast Runner I was just in time to get there then Ray of Fire through the line. Changed starting spells too. Spirit Shield, Fleet Feet (used to kite wolves to Ludrana for Grimoire or trolls to bandits, still little risky), Aim and yes Parasitic Staff which may become obsolete but as of now hits hard and regenerates. Gonna skip bears, hit level 4 for Stealth 5 Mechanic 3 and to the keep. Want to see if that increased Con will do anything at all there.

Took it when I was alone but the game did not give me second chance. You have died .. but I got second chance! No Load Quit

Minimizing CON is what Infuse with Vital Essence was invented for. (Well, that and Dangerous Implements for DAoM Blight auto-attack spammers.) I would not go that far. Anyone thinking Mig and/or Con are redundant never got stunlocked to death. +50 Endurance/Health for reasonably long duration depending on Int is certainly nice but it will not, regardless of deflection, pass some For checks on certain effect. Let alone that +50 can mitigate maybe 1 hit relatively early in game. If caster is safe from such attacks or/and has healer or other means to heal/protection then Con indeed could be lower and Infuse indeed substitutes for the lack of it.

Question is, can he do damage, MaxDamage? There is no gimp? What kind of damage you do with this Wizard? I do not care how you build your characters or play the game, but claiming that casting speed somehow offsets low damage seems like unsupported and even false claim. I played Cipher with 2 Mig and 3 Con and while it was fun for me and had purpose I would gladly admit it was gimp.

the fight on the bridge is pretty insane... how on earth can i beat them Without reload? I would not know. Tougher fights take me usually couple of tires before I figure it out. Another role .. figuring it out.

That is called roleplaying. My role is to get stuff as cheap as possible

The Theorem of Pandgram Upon entering go Stealth (5 in this case) and immediately start moving to south west. As shown only 1 enemy will agro. ----- The Bronze Beneath the Lake meet with Gianslayers part (who drop good items early) No screen shot but there are 2 Forest Lurkers nearby. No need to say more.

Actually, I think per encounter low level spells complement with extra spells talent nicely. Anyway and as usual, this is difficulty, party and play style dependent so asking for "best", "proper" or "most useful/powerful" without considering other variables is, well, funny.
