"So, we've forgotten to mention the new build has five new kits, including some awesome favorites #BGEE no #PS4 required"

Yep! Placeholder descriptions for four of the five were discovered and posted here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/14627/spoilers-possible-dlc-kits-found

Yup, we know. We also know what they are, and their advantages and disadvantages.

Not quite...

Aristillius

Ah, yes. I remember that thread, but erroneously that it was 2 listed there Wonder what the additional one wil be.

mlnevese

Well... soon everyone will know

Aristillius

Cant wait! With these sort of updates BGEE keeps being fun far beyond the nostalgia.

There's a lot to be excited for in this patch.

We should run a sweepstake.

I will punt for Arcane Archer.

i'm not sure if this kit/prestige class exists anywhere in any editions of DnD, but i'd like to see an evil type ranger, like blackguards are to paladins. something that harnesses shades, dread wolves etc. a bit like the shadelord in BG2 or if anyone is familiar with Wheel of Time, a bit like Slayer/Luc/Isam

If a player feels any of these are unbalancing he or she can always install SCS:EE.

Never tried playing with SCS cause I destroyed my clean installs a few years back somehow trying to get it to install. I assume it's got to be alot more straight forward installing it with EE right? This is really awesome, going to give it a go tomorrow and hopefully some onto some hellish challenges

p.s. that link is slightly broken I believe

I've always coveted the Stalker and Archer Kits, but unfortunately Rangers must be good-aligned and the chars I have in mind for those kits would be evil or netrual.

Zeratul

so when the patch will comes out? :O

Eudaemonium

I assume tomorrow, with the Mac release.

Zeratul

well i guess you could try to recreate either with a fighter/thief & a fighter with grand mastery in ranged weapons or maybe druids/mages dualled to fighter? but yeah it is pretty poop!

Wowo

Any hint on the 5th kit? The first 4 don't interest me at all honestly.

Eudaemonium

Nothing at present, I think. But, well, we have a Fighter, Monk, Sorcerer and Thief Kit. Default Mages are full up, I think, and we already have a Paladin kit so that's unlikely. I think Barbarian is actually coded as a Fighter kit, which means that a Barbarian kit is likely impossible. My guess would be a Bard, Cleric, or Ranger kit. I'm hoping for a new Ranger kit that relaxes the restrictions on alignment, since I don't think a new Cleric kit would work given the way Cleric kits are set up at present (Good/Neutral/Evil, no negatives). A new Bard kit would be kinda cool, though.

Of course, they might just give us another Sorcerer or Monk kit!

That would be awesome!

RedWizard

I wish they would add a cleric of Oghma kit, you either have to be a goody-two-shoes or an evil bastard to worship Lathander or Talos, and Helm... once again feels like a goody goody option with all the paladins he's got under him.
Oghma on the other hand is probably one of the gods that allows the most freedom both alignment and rp wise, considering his followers can be of any alignment and basically just can't hoard knowledge. Not to mention how it really fits with CHARNAME considering he grew up on Candlekeep.

Fardragon

I wouldn't mind seeing the existing cleric kits fixed to the right alignments (I believe Helm should be LN, LG, TN and Talos should be CE, NE, CN). That would leave a gap for LE, so something like a cleric of Bane.

Djimmy

Awesome. Dwarven Deffender. Just like Durlag. I will try it after I watch The Hobbit.

Pluc082

I really hope a sorcerer type with divine magic!!

Except in the year of the banner, Bane is still dead, so there are no clerics for him.

Actually Helm is a LN god, so he allows both LG and LE worshipers.
