Kensai/Conjurer/Assassin no reload solo BG2

CrevsDaak

Find out about the Multi-kit mod here instead of asking about it!
Today I've started a BG2:SoA/ToB (another, I lost the saves again in vanilla, but not the ToB saves, just THAT save) run with Kensai/Conjurer/Assassin, and I wanted to post something about this somewhere as it is difficult (I play in Core Rules) in low levels because I can't use armor nor bracers nor anything, but I have an ultra-OP-Bhaalspawn.
so....
I'll role-play this run, she (Darhaina) is Chaotic Evil, but she does like helping so she can mess in other parts, but nothing will be done without a reward!!
I gave her the Cure Light Wounds and Draw Upon Holy Might instead of Vampiric Touch and Larloch's Minor Drain, as she is able to cast Arcane spells but not Clerical spells, so.... Well, I've edited much things, but nothing more relevant than that!
I played a little before taking the screen shots, sorry but I forgot about lvl4 spells, I have none so I think is does not matter.

The Journal of Darhaina, narrated in a pretty epic third person:
After watching the Irenicus torturing the PC, a thief got disintegrated and Imoen opened the door for me, I got out the jail and sent her to sell fried food to Alaska (what means that I kicked her from my party) and went to save the other NPCs for the XP of their quests, went to pick up a Two-Handed sword, an Axe, 3 Potions of Healing I used later and a Dagger+1, I turned off the Mephit-spawning-machine and killed the only one that spawned, answered a rouge Genie that I was going to press the hypothetical button he was talking about and killed the Ogre Mage that the Bastard Genie (is he a Dao or a Djinni?) spawned, killed a group of goblins, looted the room with the Sewage Golem for another Potion of Healing to replace the one I used when fighting the goblins, 3 Potions of Superior Healing (one was used later), a scroll I scribed for 3000 XP (FIre Arrow, level 3) and a Unidentified Long Sword+1. I set a trap and rested, went to fight the Lesser CLay Golems, I hit on one and ran away so he could activate that trap, I killed the other with a Poison Weapon and a Draw Upon Holy Might (through it was immune to Poison ), went into the room with the jars and the Steam Mephit, I used a Mirror Image but got stunned, killed both mephits and grabbed the treasure, an Unidentified Staff+1 and some gold I think, then I killed another two group of goblins with two Sleep and an innate Horror spells, I picked up to Identify scrolls I can't use but she's going to sell them.

Having more than 1 kit doesn't actually work unless you've somehow managed to overcome it. Try leveling up and see if you get your kensai/assassin bonuses properly.

CrevsDaak

@FinneousPJ actually, it DOES work well (that's what this mods does, it makes this work!), the XP was set at 161000 after character creation, and I got 15 thieving points instead of 25. It seems that it gives all the kits table abilities, it is giving me the Wizard Slayer MR, the Swashbuckler's AC and THAC0 and Damage bonuses but that's OK with me.

FinneousPJ

LOL ok sounds like a true God-child

CrevsDaak

@FInneousPJ and I am going to be really evil in this run >:D I already feel the world under my feet! Mwahahahaha!!!

CrevsDaak

I fixed the extra MR that was given at level up with Near Infinity and continued to play!
Darhaina's Tail Tale (second update):
She entered the room after using a Draw Upon Holy Might and killed some of the goblins, killed the Smoke Mephit after he blinded me , but I killed him and the lasting goblins, there was another Mephit sent to Oblivion and I picked up a Potion of Superior Healing or two (I can't remember, but I used both against Illych's fellows), a Porion of Speed, a scroll of Larloch's Minor Drain that was copied to Darhaina's spell book, 5 Potions of Healing, some gold and XP. She wen't over Illych, he gave us a hard fight, we casted Blur as our only buff and used Web against them, she got injured so badly that I had to use ALL the Potions of Healing and of Extra Healing but not 2 Potions of Extra Healing (those archers and my own Web ), picked up the gold their dropped, 5 Throwing Axes from a chest, a scroll of Grease we failed to copy and more gold, also a Potion of Healing (that was used) and two Potions of Extra Healing (so we had 4 by then), then we slept and went for the Bastard Sword the Cambion carries, she removed the trap and buffed with Draw Upon Holy Might and Poison Weapons, we flicked the engine and casted Kai, but everything was unnecessary because he died on the first critical hit, after picking the Bastard Sword +1 I saved and left the game.

Abel

Wow, these multi-kits are truly overpowered! Never knew about this mod... I like !
What about the extra MR you mentioned? I believe WS received 2%/level before... 1%/level is just terrible. Would as well pick a Monk! 3% or 4% would seem more appropriate.

CrevsDaak

@Abel yeah, WS gets very few MR, but I removed those effects with Near Infinity, that was cheating.

CrevsDaak

Third Update of the Escape of Darhaina from Irenicus' Prison
After killing the Cambion and grabbing his sword, she went for the Magical Mail Illych had, activated a stone golem and talked to man-that-was-inside-a-jar-and-was-mad for XP that as enough to level up, she killed an Otyugh by using a Draw Upon Holy Might and a Kai innate abilities, looted all the room and used some potions of Healing and of Extra Healing, killed all the Goblin with the throwing axes (that she used all in that action) and talked to the dryads, theses poor women weren't strong enough to save themselves, so she did not want to help them. After finding an Air elemental figurine and opening a door, she fought against some annoying Mephits that were slain after using two Potions of Extra Healing, two of Healing and two Horror spells with a Magic Missile and Haste on top. The Genie is willing to "give back" a sword from hers so she went to search for these Idiot's jar/flask, the dryads had it so she killed them because she did not want to save them, then she wrote the level six spell "Summon Air Elemental" into her spell book and memorized another Web spell in the extra spell slot the amulet she found gave her.
Active quests: Give the flask to the genie to get the sword he was offering to me.

CrevsDaak

So... after reading @Blackraven's Cleric/Thief run, I thought that it will be nice to continue this run, so played for a while on saturday and did not had time to write this before.
I gave the flask to the friggin' Djinni, got a TWS+2 that cae very handy since I'm using that proficiency. Picked up some stuff I had forgotten and went towards the next level!
Yoshimo warned me of the Mephits, but he forgot to warn the Mephits about Darhaina a single Melf's Minute Meteor's + two Poison Weapon did the job, I got blinded anyway (SCS Mephits :I).
The fight against the Escaped Clone wasn't a pain, since I threw a Web + Skull Trap and the remaining Poisoned Meteors to the Clone while it was not hostile. All the rest of the level was easy and fell easily under my TWS+2 and a bunch of Sleep and magic missiles.
Just two hits with Kai active and the vampire died, it's a pretty weak vampire, that's why, the assassins didn't damage me at all, killed Frendann (the doplegganger) and picked up more stuff, then I got ready to leave!! I left the antidotes and grabbed the Potions of Health (restore 10 HP + removes poison) because they are better, consumed lots of Potions of Healing since I won't use them much since 9HP=not worth carrying.3 Critical hits in ONE round! pretty insane, as the toughest enemy of that battle fell at the start, it was just a go-slay-the-other-fools, exited the building and saw a massacre and Imoen got kidnapped, Darhaina promised revenge against Irenicus for torturing her! I did the Circus quest, easy for a K/C/A of my type :P 'The princess is 40 and the prince is 30' pretty easy, plus it gives the same XP than answering 'Nothing' to the easier question. I used Aerie to identify all my stuff (she has more Lore that my PC, and can use Identify spells & scrolls) and told her to wait there, cleaned the other floors and LEARNED STONESKIN which did not affect my emotions in any way, I assure you! (and left her nude without her Traveller's Robe hehehe)<img src="https://forums.beamdog.com/uploads/FileUpload/30/14305cc1b0f79b6c3d94cda887e28b.png"/> I used the Friends scroll and the Ring of CHA set at 18 to get 24 CHA to buy some scrolls (Sunfire & Minor Globe of Invunerability IRC)I went to the Slums, talked with Galen Bayle out and inside his home, did the slaver's quest at the Copper Coronet and talked to a Replicant who was built in 2016 (Blade Runner, anyone? Pris is a replicant from Blade Runner & a prostitute, so this is COMPLETELY related and it's an awesome easter egg) Killed the guards with a lots of protections, they DROPPED A SPEAR+3 which was immoral and game breaking, besides some scrolls that say that I am being lucky with this run. later I went to the Graveyard district to give Wellyn his Littlebear stuffed man, but I refused and he turned into a revenant which I happily destroyed.The Skeleton Warriors were a tough fight, they never missed a hit (Kensai AC :I) and they had nice damage reduction, I killed one, rested and killed the other, and used a bunch of Potions of Extra Healing also. I killed the spiders, I know this is insane, but there are two things I really need.
1) Pale Green Ioun Stone, to protect from critical hits.
2) Spell Immunity. I used the Skull Trap x2 and Minor GoI (very cheesy) tactic to kill some spiders, which did not give me as much trouble as this little spider did (3 critical misses :I) To kill the Spiders and the Drow, I simply used Melf Minute Meteors+Poison Weapon on her and Sunfire for the spiders, I didn't get hurt at all and got all the loot I need. I even got poisoned and I was foolish enough to use the four Potions of Health I had with me, anyway I didn't get killed and rested again. I got ambushed by Slavers, and then by Mercenaries, in a row. when trying to go to the City Gates to kill the Lich that resides there. I told a pair of lovers that love is everything and life is short they thanked me and I blamed how I was roleplaying CE.
I set some traps I didn't use at all, as this Lich only wanted to cast spells on me and not following me outside, I used strategy (2), Melf's Minute Meteor's + Poison Weapon, which killed the Lich even if it had Improved Mantle. I went to Gorch's, just to buy 4 Potions of Master Thievery and to stole him several times, he did not notice that, and I raised my gold to 30k+. I had to leave a bunch of stuff in the Lich's chest, this tiny inventory :I of BG... I also charged my Wand of Cloudkill!!
The bad news: I've messed my BG2 install today at morning, I'll had to install everything again to continue this playthrough.

Flashburn

You know, I miss the shiny ink used on some of the more powerful scrolls like the Mantle line of spells. I wish there was a mod that would reintroduce them to the scrolls and spellbook icons of BG2EE.

CrevsDaak

@Flashburn I am working on such, but it's more difficult that what you can imagine, now I'll have to try with NI Mass Export function which left me out of excuses to finish the mod.

Ryofu

which mod allows multi-kit multi class?

Blackraven

A few close calls, but lots of progress! Sorry to hear about you messed up install.
Multikits sounds really nice btw. Is it the following mod?
http://www.shsforums.net/topic/45258-multiclassed-multikit-builder-mod-experimental/

CrevsDaak

@Ryofu http://www.shsforums.net/topic/45258-multiclassed-multikit-builder-mod-experimental/ Only BG2 vanilla compatible, needs the G3 Fixpack and TobEx to work.

CrevsDaak

@Blackraven you've nailed it! Exactly that one!
It's the 6th time I mess my install, this time it's more serious since I have less hard drive space (just 6 GB free while my disk is of 60 GB XD) than the last time because now I have the EEs installed. I'll continue as I make everything work again, it might take a while :I to instal SCS, the game does not take much to install, nor any of the other mods does. Good luck tomorrow I don't have school so I can play since the early morning, plus I think I'll leave SCS installing at night.

Blackraven

Ouch difficult...
I have BG1EE, but BG2EE not yet because my creditcard isn't working and I live outside my country
What versions do you have? Steam? I was thinking of keeping my original BGT for heavily modded playthroughs, and Steam BGEE with only a few mods (SCS1 & 2, Ascension, BG1 NPCs, and maybe Item Randomization) for a more orginal 'feel'.

I think I won't be trying out the multikit builder mod. It sounds a bit messy, plus I don't like starting games in BG2 (I always want/need to go through BG1 first).

Good luck with your Ninja Assassin Killer Mage Goddess
I'm hoping to finish BG1 with my Cleric/Thief in an hour or so.

CrevsDaak

@Blackraven you can use the Multikit for BGT's BG1 part (it will work better than just BG2, because you'll have your kit abilities since level one). I know that it IS messy, but if you just select a single multikit build (K/C/A for example) it works awesome, thanks for wishing me luck, hope you're lucky too!

Blackraven

@CrevsDaak, what do you mean by a single multikit build? Only on one character? (For example charname..)
Thank you for your wished. I completed BG1. I will take my Cleric/Thief into SoA, but am also contemplating on a new playthrough.

CrevsDaak

@Blackraven somehow yes. For example, you want to use a Fighter/Mage/Cleric as a Barbarian/Wild Mage/Priest of Lathander, if you create another multi-class kitted option, for example, Fighter/Mage as Wizard Slayer/Conjurer, the kit with the Berkserker will get the Magic Resistance bonus from the Wizard Slayer/Conjurer and otherwise too, the WS/C will get the Damage reduction bonus from the B/WM/PoL.
So, if I use a Avenger/Kensai multi-class for Jaheira, a Kensai/Swashbuckler for my PC, the bonuses will be given correctly. But if I add Anomen as a Wizard Slayer, that will make it give MR to Jaheira and to my PC.

Blackraven

Confusing. At this point I won't be trying it out, though I love the extra variety the mod offers (not even to create the most OP character possible, but rather to think of fun combos).

vangoat

whaaaaaaaaaat? Wellyn turns into a revenant if you don't give him his bear?? I thought I knew everything!

booinyoureyes

According to your record sheet your character is a kensai lvl7/conjurer lvl7/assassin lvl7

Yet according to your portrait, your character is a stripper lvl 29



Crevs, does this mod work okay, or have you run into major problems? I kinda wanna make a Kensai/Shadowdancer

FinneousPJ

Kensai/SD would be crazy.

CrevsDaak

@booinyoureyes it's a vanilla BG2 only mod, it does cause problems, I've mentioned them

in that post.
And as the SD isn't in BG2 vanilla, you'll need to choose another combo.
It works with mod that add kits (Divine Remix for example, which is very cool since it adds several cleric/druid/ranger kits), I do not know if it has the '9 kits per class' restriction, I think that bo since it needs TobEx to work (it install the part it needs so don't worry) abd the G3 BG2 fixpack (which you kinda should have installed before by default :P).

CrevsDaak

OK, I re-re-continued this.
I have done several quests and other stuff like the Bridge district's murderers (haven't killed the enemies on the lowest floor yet), got a 'new deal' from Gaelan to lower the price from 60k GP to 45k GP.

Got the quest to go and search for Valygar, pickpicketed the Ring of the Ram from Tolgerias and got randomly attacked by SCS improved thieves.

I got ambushed by SCS bandits and ran away, but a Dire Charm was already cast, luckily I made a successful saving throw!

I went to steal Ribald's ring of Regeneration, pick the stuff I left on the Crooked Crane's Lich's lair and to see the items that RR added.

I went to Gorch and continued stealing until I had enough money to pay Gaelan and an extra 15k. I payed to Gaelan and went to see Aran, I met with some silly people in my way to his lair.

I have the RR/aTweaks component that adds Dimension Door back to the game like the P&P spell, but it is even more OP, I'll just delete from my spellbook and don't use it

I got to a battle against a SCS cleric, he casted Aerial Servant, which is a pretty difficult foe in P&P, I used a few potions and used backstab, being a lvl 9 Kensai and an Assassin, with 19 STR and a 1d8+2, it was pretty easy by using Potions of Invisibility before the cleric could cast True sight.

I killed a chicken and got an awesome dialog besides a Bejuril.

Then I bought the Robe of Vecna, doing a great favor to my AC and my casting time!

And got the most awesome Irenicus dream YAAAY!!

EDIT: at some moment (can't recall when) I went to Watcher's Keep to buy a Potion Case and the Dimension Door scroll.

[/spoiler] I am using the highest resolution that you can set from the BGConfig program, which is awesome.
I installed the Wizard Slayer Rebalancing mod before SCS to make the enemies that get a WS kit in SCS tougher.

I tried to travel to Trademeet but got ambushed again by SCS bandits, but this time I fought them back and won the battle.


I went to Treademeet, talked to Neeber, got a quest from the Great Merchant and recruited Cernd, talked to a man who, if the right dialog options are picked, gives you 1k XP and 1k GP.

The trolls from SCS are quite difficult, on the first try they killed Cernd, but I slain them and raised Cernd at the Waukeen Temple in Trademeet.

The SCS improved spiders were quite easy with Improved Invisibility+Sunfire x2, but they used tricky things like Web Tangle and their spawning number was astonishing.


Sunfire was used a lot, and then Flaming Sword, cast by Cernd.

Apparently, either SCS or aTweaks added a Elder Earth Elemental to the Druid's Grove, who chunked Cernd, thus making this quest impossible (at least what I know) to finish. He gave me a very tough fight, because of dealing 20-50 damage in a single melee hit and having Invisibility at will, being immune to +2 and having lots of HP.
Luckily he was not immune to backstab nor to thief traps, so I used Daystar against it with a Potion of Invisibility and the Ring of Invisibility besides my Improved Invisibility spell to backstab him, after having lowered his Hit-points by setting traps far away and luring him into them.


I am really sorry for the last picture to be off-screen, but I accidentally moved the mouse in that moment.
Khittix was used to draw attention so he (Elder Earth Elemental) could got visible by attacking it.
I killed the group that was battling the trolls and killed the beasts.

Did you not free Jaheira in Irenicus' Dungeon? If your released her, you could use her instead of Cernd to fight Faldorn.

@Blackraven‌ oh, thank you. Now I feel ashamed I haven't thought about that thanks for the tip!

I rested to get full HP (I have a Ring of Regeneration) and to get my spells back. Buffed for the battle against the Shadow Druids, which are a complete joke in vanilla, but in SCS they even get kits, so they use their Avenger/Shapeshifter abilities accordingly. The fight was easy because I buffed a lot, the most noticeable buff is Improved Invisibility + Spell Immunity: Divination, so they couldn't hit me with their spells.

I used the Wand of Fire a lot, they were a lot and moved behind me in their shapeshifted forms, besides summoning Nyphs with their spells.

I kept using the Wand of Fire until only one charge remained (only used the Flamethrower ability to not to hurt myself) and three Poison Weapon, besides some throwing axes. Their leader ran away when everyone else was dead and he was badly damaged, what a coward, and he made me lose some XP from him.

I kept going and found some Mushroom Generators™, who generated mushrooms that casted Confusion over me, I didn't save against it, but made the wise choice to keep attacking.

When the confusion effect wore off I used the Wand of Fire's fireball ability, and killed some of the Mushroom Generators™.


I got confused again as it seems that the whole bridge had Mushroom Generators™ on it, and some Trolls that lived under the bridge got out and attacked me on sight.

My PC decided to fuck me by failing her saving throws and attacking the Ice Troll when it was in the ground, all the enemies kept on chasing and attacking her, the bad AC was one of the causes of her dead, besides me being an idiot and not using all those Potions of Invisibility she had and all the other consumables.
