Suggestions for an evil party member....i'm short one.

Safana of course.

Wait, what am I saying?

Xzar. You want Xzar. Tome of WIS him and dual that sucker over to a Cleric.

Cantab

All right, for the record I went with Baeloth, Jez he is good perhaps even too good. Despite playing on the hardest setting the game seems quite easy.

That's actually something I've always liked about the BG series: at first glance, it seems to favor Good characters since they get more XP, more gold, more discounts and so on. But if you're playing Evil, you're going to have the toughest, most formidable party in the game. It all balances out in the end.

Southpaw

with this (already immensely powerful) setup, Baeloth would run this into game-breaking territory. (as- too easy)

I'd opt for Xzar ( another spellcaster comes in handy and he is funny) or Eldoth (something else than the usual fighters)


I'd actually bring Viconia and have my main char an Assassin, but you said no clerics...

Yeah fair to say this party 'broke the game'. Almost finished it, has been pretty simple and no need for complicated combat tactics or plans, was not expecting that on highest difficulty.

Absolutely agree, also being able to function with rep of 1 makes it easier. I killed everyone in beregost after I was done with it, But its all good because I gave the church 1800gp, all is forgiven.

Faldorn would fit nicely. Or if you prefer mage spells to druid ones, go for Baeloth. :-)

Skie would be your best bet considering your short an archer. If you can stomach a goody-two-shoes then take kivan instead.

Problem with skie is the same problem with about every Baldur's Gate City joinable NPC, you only get them in the later game, Tooooooooooo later, so that sucks a lot.

Ps: stand Skie presence is a bit more annoying than Kivan, the amount of times you gonna hear "i broke an nail!" with her nasal voice will make you wish to enter in the game to kill her! But i somehow like Skie.

Cantab

Thanks for the help everyone, game is finished, good times were had,

Not that anyone probably cares, but the final kill numbers were -

Dorn 345
Kagain 143
Shar-tell 241
CharName 122 (thief/cleric)
Edwin 188
Baeloth 143 (joined late)

shawne

Yes, Dorn tends to dominate when it comes to kill counts.

DreadKhan

Are you using shar teel as an archer maybe? She isn't set up for it, but lvl 6 nets two pips. It doesn't look like you have any other archers, and they are exceedingly good in bg.
