And to Lt. Sullist: I'm not all that accomplished as a player and don't find the challenge in a singleton as exciting. As said before, I play the scenarios as an explorer. From long ago, I don't attack anyone, or any thing, unless it attacks me first. On very rare occasions, you may destroy something valuable to the story line. Lastly, in serious battles, six of you against six of them, there are six shots from one side, then six from the other. If it's six of them against one of you, they get six shots for ever single shot you get. A cavern with numerous Major Monsters must be a "lot of fun", eh? me Posts: 257 | Registered: Wednesday, February 12 2003 08:00 |

Okay, basic party: 1- Lasco (human fighter, some skill with Throwing Weapons) 2- Daggoth (slith fighter, some priest skill) 3- Mathuzar (nephil archer, bashing weapons, traps, lockpicking) 4- Solberg II (human mage, some archery skill) 5- Jango (human mage/priest, lots of Item Lore) 6- Michael (human priest, alchemy skills) -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta!

In the demo of E3 (no money to register E3 yet), I pulled together a very nice Anama party. Priest skill all around, with PCs 1, 2, and 3 having sword, spear/throwing, and mace/archery, respectively. Assassination was eventually given to the first three (who were mainly there to keep melee enemies from the other three). Alchemy on PC number six, item lore given to #4, and #5 was used as a pack horse/healer. Races were Nephil, Slith, Nephil, Nephil, Human, and Slith, in order. -------------------- "Insanity is okay, but stupidity is inexcusable." -Kenda Nicole Brand Jacob say, "Man who smoke pot, choke on handle." -Jacob Doran Posts: 202 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I tend to mix up my names, but my party goes as follows Slith Polearm Fighter Human Ambidextrous Fighter (lockpicking) Nephil Ambidextrous Fighter (archery) Human Heavy-Mage (with Bless priest spells) Human Mage (with Bless priest spells) Human Priest (with Haste mage spells, eventually Alchemy). I find 3melee/3caster the best combination. Also, (and this is moreso in Avernum) i find it of great benefit to have ALL casters able to Bless+Haste -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here.

My party: Gorank-Slith (with flaming hand) Erika II-Human (with red robes) Prrrrrr-Nephil (with flaming hand) Adrianna, Feodric, and Michael (from the original setup) I give them all the good traits and no bad ones, and I use the editor to max out all their stats and give them all spells (It's not as unfair as you'd think. Golems are still hard as heck to get rid of.) Edit: Sorry if I revived a dead topic, I thought the last post was in July, not June.

Some people find Singletons easier ToeJim. Less gold cost meaning better items for the one person, less food, less leveling up meaning higher levels for your one character... -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta! Posts: 1287 | Registered: Thursday, August 14 2003 07:00 |

Geez...I've made so many different parties it's hard to tell you all of them now. I can tell you my most recent party for BoE, which I actually like, and may remake. 1. Sean (that's my real name) - Fighter - Human - Grey Armor Man (NOT the one with the orange shield, the other one with the pike). Uses pole weapons and thrown missiles. 2. Laifee (just like that name, some shopkeeper in ND has that name) - Archer/Fighter - Nephilim - Nephil archer graphic. Uses bows/crossbows and edged weapons. 3. Sovashe (think of Sovash from OG&E, one of my all-time fav scens, with an 'e' added at the end) - Wizard/Priest - Slithzerikai - Slith with energy ball graphic. Uses mage and priest spells (duh!) (start out mage, gain priest along the way.) 4. Ashleigh (Like that new spelling of Ashley - is that what it is? And yes, I did in fact see that name here first.) - Priest/Wizardess/Alchemist - Human - Green robe mage. Start out priest, gain wizard levels along the way. * * * * I seem to find archery/alchemy/thrown missiles useful, despite the fact that others don't. I think ND was made partially as a response to this. -------------------- "Let us see what the new day brings." - Temas, Areni. Visit my realm! Rate My Scenarios!

My advice: Never put a single skill point into health if you can help it -- you'll get enough from gaining levels anyway. Start with 4 intelligence, 1 dexterity, a reasonable amount of strength (at least 4, maybe up to 10), and as many levels in both Mage and Priest spells as you can get. Don't bother investing too many skill points in SP at this stage; you'll have enough just from the bonus you get from starting with spell levels. After level 1, train in Strength and one weapon skill of your choice. (Don't bother with Dexterity; seriously, don't. At all. Weapon skills are cheaper and you don't really need to use more than one weapon type anyway.) Haste yourself for every fight. When it looks like you're about to be attacked in melee, bless yourself repeatedly so they can't hit you. Attack with magic at first, until your chosen weapon skill is trained to high enough levels to hit things. Use field spells like Wall of Force and Conflagration to do damage and protect yourself from advancing foes; they're almost as powerful as Fireball early on, and much more efficient. Don't be afraid to use Sleep Cloud to disable your opponents when you're outmatched.

Pole weapons are, of course, the most powerful, however, I think they're overrated. The most powerful pole weapon I've found is the magic halberd (damage 18-5). However, it's a two-handed weapon which, in my opinion, is an unforgivable disadvantage. My primary blade fighter (ambidextrous) has a flaming sword (10-1) and a cold bloodbane (20-5), giving me an overall max damage of 30-6, plus the flame damage from the flaming sword. Beats the magic halberd. Furthermore, if you miss with a halberd, you miss. With two weapons, if you miss with one weapon you still have another chance. Bashing weapons are fine, but not as numerous as the edged weapons. The most powerful bashing weapon I've found is the brightstar(damage 9-5). When making scenarios, people just aren't as likely to make cool bashing weapons. So for my fighters I'm all about ambidextrous edgers. ~Andromeda -------------------- "...Perchance to Dream?"

Don't forget that when you're dual-wielding, your opponent's armour bonuses are applied to each hit. This is especially bad against Doomguards, which are heavily armoured and split every time you damage them. Also, note that this topic is about Exile 3. Party design strategy is a little different for BoE scenarios. [ Sunday, July 31, 2005 20:41: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
