Icewind dale portraits bg112/3/2023 ![]() "SOUTHPAW SINGLE-WEAPON STYLE" AKA THE NO "WEAPON STYLE" WEAPON STYLE So let's get on with it, explaining what makes things tick here step by step, starting with the big one: Here are my stats at the end of BGEE for any casual fight (aka not using Relair's Mistake wolf polymorph for more attacks per round, nor potions or anything else like that, just my gear and basic spell buffs).Īs you'll notice, we have quite a good thac0 for a Mage (10 in the mainhand and 8 in the offhand), especially one that's dual wielding without any points in two-weapon style! (I'll explain this later), 3 attacks per round due to haste and some very good AC (it's actually -12 against slashing, not -10, cause Protection from Evil inflicts a 2 thac0 penalty against anyone evil attacking us, it just doesn't show in the stats) and we can change gear to make it better against other kinds of damage (piercing/missile/crushing), of course. The point is that you can comfortably solo things in melee as a Mage, right from level 1. Third, I played this solo, but obviously it would be even better in a party where you have other people to draw aggro. Plus, I think a lot of people might have an easier time being a melee Mage in BG2 (where you have Protection from Magical Weapons and Tenser's Transformation) than in BG1, so the BG1 bit might be more interesting. I'm in chapter 6 of BG2EE with it and it's still great, but I already started other playthroughs lol (I'll come back to this one eventually). Second, I'll mostly talk about BG1(EE), cause that's what I finished with this character. Looking for other players? Try the LFG Discord channelįirst of all, keep in mind I'm playing with SCS installed, so I'll mention 2 extra spells that don't exist in vanilla BG (only in Icewind Dale), but the vanilla game is easier anyway, so you shouldn't need said extra buffs, great as they are.Interested in contributing?
