Rickard (6 posts) Nov-08-00, 11:25 AM (Pacific) "what weapon skills to pick?" I came up with that in the end I would finish up with samurai, ninja(assassin), monk(Zen Master) and paladin(valkyrie). The other two will end up warlocks(I think, anyone who think this is not a good idea) I would like to be able to wield different weapons, but I want the weapons to be "in charcter" . It would be nice if someone could use a different weapon than a sword, but I find it hard to justify for the characters. Also is this a possibility? In most of the RPG's I have played the sword would always be the most superior weapon. Is it possible to get a good magic axe, a staff, a mace or something else. What I would like to see is something like this: Valkyrie: sword, maybe axe. Samurai: katanas, what else Ninja: Swords, maybe daggers (is it possible to just fight with daggers?, how do you aquire the two weapon figthing style) Monk: Staff (again is this possible?)dont really like hands&feet. btw. Does this athletics skill do anything? and are missile weapons any good? Can someone help me make up my mind!!!! Please!   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

This is something that really appealed to me, that I plan to explore when I start playing again. But, as you point out, in this game as well, swords are predominant (not surprising with it's 2nd working title: Swords & Sorcery).

LAST EDITED ON Nov-09-00 AT 09:53 AM (Pacific) You might want to develop the pole arms skill for one of your fighters. The toad shaman rewards you with a fairly decent magic spear fairly early into the game. I went with the axe skill for my barbarian and sword for my warrior who will soon be samuri. Also, there is a pretty good mace that you get in the crypt, as I recall. I haven't put any points into athletics, but I believe it only helps running, jumping, swimming, & falling. Hiero PS Try putting a few points into the shield skill. I've only got 2 or 3 into it, but it's surprising how often my fighters can block with their shields. Also, you get a great shield in the crypt.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
