Once you reach the city gates, outside options will become available. | ||

There are indeed NPCs who will only threaten to leave, but there are some NPCs who will leave if too much time has passed at a specific stage in a quest. Korgan is a good example of both. He will only bitch about taking too much time before you try to get his book in the graveyard. If you take too much time after that, however, he will leave. Minsc left me cuz i took too long to rescue his bitch  Because of that i started a new game  Now i've created a Fighter/Druid with Str 18/82 Dex 17 Const 18 Int 9 Wis 13 Cha 15 is this a good distribution for this class ? I plan to go 2 sword style with my champ. Any suggestions on how i should build him ? | ||

Also you won't be able to use swords if you are a druid. They can only use stuff like clubs I think the best stats for a fighter/druid should be: 18 18 18 3+ 18 3+ One of the few weakness of Baldur's Gate compared to a game like Arcanum or Torment is that Charisma is really an useless stats ( it will save you a bit of money when you buy stuff but that's pretty much all. Very few dialogs and quests are charisma dependant ) and intelligence is only important for mages :/ | ||

You can however use a staff, and there are some really good choices both in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 for that. If I recall correctly, staves are the most damaging weapons available, outperforming two-handed swords in most cases. Hmmm there are a couple of good staff but they are not even close of the best two-handed weapons. However there are two or three staffs with interesting buffs for mages. | ||

Intelligence is useful for everyone though not a top priority; getting one-shotted by illithids is no fun. | ||

About intelligence i spend lot of time rolling my characters so usually i will try to get a bit more than 3 but imo it is really useless if you are not a mage. I mean ok you are right about illithids, but they are quite rare ( They are pretty much all in the same area in BG2 ) so i prefer to max wisdom even for my fighters because i think that the save bonus is more useful thorough BG1+BG2+Tob. So yea one zone in BG2 will be a bit more annoying but that's pretty much all. | ||

Oops, forgot that druids can wield scimitars, I guess the scimitar that gives you an extra attack and something else should be good.

That's why I said in most cases It's kinda hard to argue with the damage output of the Staff of Striking/Staff of the Ram for BG1/2 respectively, even if they have some drawbacks like being hard to get.On September 24 2010 11:24 Boblion wrote: About intelligence i spend lot of time rolling my characters so usually i will try to get a bit more than 3 but imo it is really useless if you are not a mage.

If you're playing through BG1 as well, you get a nice +3 Wisdom crutch however Unless you're one of these people that give tomes to NPCs. Personally, I try to get 8-9+ for dump stats on my chars, but it can get a bit tedious with all the rerolling and whatnot. | ||

On a side note, the katana, Celestial Fury, is the strongest weapon you get in the early game. It stuns everything who are without resistance. Even in the late game, this badass sword still delivers. Get it in Act 2, in the government district. ![[image loading]](http://gamebanshee.com/baldursgateii/equipment/images/celestialfury.jpg) | ||

Ya it is a pretty good staff ( forgot about it ) but you only get it in ToB and also get some uber godly swords in ToB anyway. I still prefer Gram or upgraded Carsomyr if you are a Paladin. The main problem is that you will have to use subpar staffs until ToB whereas there are plenty of good +2/+3 swords in BG1 and BG2 Honestly Staff is a mage / druid weapons. There are many better options for fighters ... | ||

Hahaha i remember when i tried to get it early ( had the tactics mod ), didn't go well Another problem regarding katanas for people who play with BGT and have started in BG1 is that you can't find katanas until BG2... ( Maybe with mods you can buy some but i'm not sure ...) | ||

They're not "crazy" attack bonuses. If you dual at the reasonable level of 9, it's +3 to hit and damage. If not playing with true grandmastery, I'll take a multiclass fighter/mage over a dual class any day. Hell, I prefer the multiclass anyway. And the druid's ironskin is pretty much the same spell as stoneskin aside from the cast time and the one level difference. | ||

I'm thinking of taking up a druid to be a shapeshifter, those guys look pretty fun by description, although I can imagine that they'd be quite weak early on. Has any of you played one? I've mostly stuck to fighters, thieves and variations thereof. | ||

I think that you can even without mods ( if i remember correctly ). I have never played a shapeshifter but it seems to be a gimmick class tbh. Probably fun to play but not really powerful. | ||

You're probably better off with something like angurvadal or the flail of ages in the main hand against tough foes, but I prefer the axe of the unyielding. Belm is my favorite offhand weapon and, imo, its only real competition for that spot in most situations are crom faeyr and, for thieves and bards, the scarlet ninja-to. | ||
