I never knew that the emerald chestguard was in G3.
I only knew my favorite armor from A4 from A4.

Your best bet is gonna be the Crystalline Aegis. Again, I don't know the number, and I encourage you to try looking it up in the scripts.

Also, checking the Items List helps in determining which item best fits your needs.

Nope. The Oozing Sword is probably the best sword in the game in terms of total damage.

You mean you can't cast a spell and then move unless you make a melee attack.

Originally written by Flume and Waive:

I always find bows useful enough in A4 that the bonus to your archery is very helpful, and Gymnastics is nice too. I prefer a sword and shield to a spear for a singleton, although I know others disagree, so there's no reason to take a slith. Even with a polearm you don't really get all that much benefit, and the 10% fire resistance is negligible.

—Alorael, who isn't all that caught up on race in the end. As long as you're Divinely Touched everything will work out fine.

Originally written by SevenMass:

the highest tool use check in the game, other than unlocking doors, is rank 16.
You can find one item in the game granting +1 TU and one other type of item granting +2 TU, so if you just get rank 13 TU, you have all TU that you ever need.

Since TU synereses with the spell "unlock" you should make your thief also the party mage.
The power of unlock is effected by:
1: the level of unlock in your spellbook (so do buy training in this spell, as well as reading tomes of lore)
2: the rank you have in mage spells (should be about 18 because that is all you need to be able to cast all 20 spells in your mage's spellbook)
3: the ranks you have in spellcraft and magery.
4: and, as mentioned, the rank you have in the TU skill. (should be 13+3)

Which makes Divinely Touched (or was it Elite Warrior) a must. And do Nephilim get a dex bonus? If so, go with one of them.

Parry is more important than endurance, at least early on. Going for it early will render enemy melee attackers mostly impotent.

Are you sure that drayks and drakons do fire damage? Can anyone else confirm this about windows (or possibly updated mac versions as well)?

If so, that's a HUGE change, which among other things makes drayks and drakons less consistently useful.

I know there are a few minor errors that crept into the page. To be honest, I doubt I'll update it. G4 has lost my energy and attention.

So - is the version of the windows demo on the FTP server the final one, out of curiosity, or is there another forthcoming? :D Also, is there a difference between Geneforge4Demov10.exe and Geneforge4Demo.exe
