Ranger, to be dualed to Ranger/Cleric:

STR: 18/99
DEX: 17
CON: 18
INT: 10
WIS: 17
CHA: 3


I did the reducing cha to the absolute minimum (I'm really hating the idea but I want to be able to contribute positively), and reducing INT to 10. That allowed me to get 18s in STR, DEX, CON, and put a put some to WIS. I reduced DEX one to put it toward WIS so I could dual class.

I'm loving his str, dex and con but hatin' on his cha (this guy is gettin' no pvssy).

nice roll :thumbsup: i usually roll till i get 32 points, that way i can max 4 stats (usually str, dex, con, int)

*GAMETIME 8 PM EDT TONIGHT* don't forget to join vent!

There are belts in the game that give 19, 20, 21 and 22 STR so no need to max STR.

The frost giant belt is likely to be cannibalized to make the Crom.

I have ToB working and rolled an Elven Sorceror. Had 93 stat points, so max dex, con, and charisma. Also have 11 STR, 14 WIS, 14 INT. Add my Lv1 spell "friends" to my char and I have 24 charisma... I think I'll be the one doing the talking ;)

BTW guys, I was also using a custom sound set - Haer'Dalis. I don't know if there's an individual link, but here's what I got it from.

And the way Baldur's Gate handles characters in Multiplayer is pretty cool. You can hand off control of your character to anyone during the game, and characters can be reimported through a save game. I believe this allows us to have more than 6 people playing in the game, but not at once.

Maybe I'd better install it on my new computer. Haven't played it since I built this rig a year-and-a-half ago.

I can join in on Fridays, but can't most other days given how late they've gone :)

Okay, today's session went alright. I've got some things going on during the week, so we might want to schedule again for this coming friday around 7 or 8pm. I have the save files, so if anyone else wants to host, I can e-mail them.

Also, I started getting people from gamespy randomly dropping in. One guy tried joining with a level 40 character, which is WAY beyond the rest of the party. I recommend making a password (today's was Spider) to keep it as an ATOT game instead of the general public, randomly trolling for multi-player games.

sounds like a good idea. if you could, email the save files back to me, that'd be great. i agree, password = good :)
