In BG2 I might take: Neera: free spirited and much better personality than Edwin Aerie: another free spirit Haer'Dalis: you must be seeing a theme by now Mazzy: archer/tank Wilson -> Mr ToB I also like the idea of Rasaad in BG2 (maybe instead of Mazzy) just to see his prowess bloom (eventually). Shortbows 5 pips; +2 bow in BGEE and SOD and tuigan and gesen in BG2/TOB. Firetooth and the Army Scythe are both excellent options. Your best choice is Archer, kit of Ranger class. Option 1 - I would get the extra crit chance for backstabs and then a pip in daggers for Dagger of Venom. Elf is great. I think the best weapons in BG2 are celestial fury (katana) flail of ages and crom faeyr(war hammer) so probably katana for the Fighter thief so you can also backstab. Jarrakul Member Posts: 2,029. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. ago. This item appears in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. +1 point/lvl. 5 attacks without unnerfed grandmastery. This dagger has the same bonus to damage and THAC0 as a dagger +2, but a base damage of 2d4 instead of the usual 1d4 and a speed factor of 1 instead of 0. Against the undead creatures, they have +3 damage and -3 THAC0 bonus. 5 attacks, or 3. I noticed that while slowly approaching from the right side, You may provoke the mage to start the fight WITHOUT provoking Sarevok. Least Powerful Cleric: Vanilla cleric - no bonuses, and the kits have no downsides. FIretooth. Light Crossbow. With the Gesen Bow and improved haste from the Darkfire Bow + Amulet of Cheetah Speed, you get 23 rounds of 9 attacks/round. With earth elemental transformation you don't care about weapons because you're hulk. bg2 almost has no magic arrows, which is very odd considering bg1 overflowed with them. Best shortbow: Shortbow of Gesen (range 75) Deals 1D6+2+1D8 = 10 per round. Throwing dagger (as melee) in off hand gives you another attacks, and you can hit faster than wielding longsword. For my own recommendations, I'd say she's the same as any other fighter/druid: top priority is scimitar 2 pips, then dual wielding 2. 5-11. 'Tis disturbing to my demeanor! Yes. Unfortunately, you don't get Firetooth until late in BG2. They also receive a -2 penalty to intelligence but their reputation as being mentally-deficient is generally exaggerated. The Composite Longbow +2 is marginally better. Not to mention counter the very annoying level drain of vampires, they can tank ahead of the spell casters and squishier party members, keeping them safe from Undead. The APR for the firetooth +3: 7/2 on ranged and melee with GM . Players may choose the order of the Bhaalspawn elimination, either into Abazigal's Lair first, or proceed into this enclave which is broken up into smaller tunnels through where the party must pass through to reach Sendai. This proficiency will remain useful into BG2 with powerful weapons like Firetooth. Boomerang, the poisoned throwers, and especially Firetooth. I wouldn't say BG2 & ToB outright nerfs archers, their main purpose just changes drastically. 5 x 6 APR = 195 damage per round (207 with fire), or 227 with GoES (241 with fire) And Firetooth with any bolts 2d8+21 = 23 - 37 = 30 = 30 x 6 APR = 180 damage per round (192 with fire), or 210 with GoES (224 with fire) Interesting indeed. The second weapon goes in the shield slot. Moreover multi enables you to be half-orc which means you can start with a 19 strength, which doesn't matter in SoD/BG2 but is a significant quality-of-life boost for BG1 (yes there is a strength tome but you don't get it until late). 5)Dagger of Venom, Robe of Vecna, Vhailor's Helm, Defender of Easthaven, Gargoyle Boots, Scarlet Ninja-to, Azuredge, firetooth, and more.
