Powergaming my way through Black Pits

Klorox

I've never played past the first couple of rounds of the pits.

What do you guys think of this party?

1) Gnome Fighter/Illusionist. First spot can get a familiar, right?

2) Human Inquisitor.

3) Human Berserker 3 > Druid

4) Elf Sorcerer

5) Human Berserker 3 > Cleric

6) Elf Archer

Any advice on proficiencies?

Not throwing dagger. They don't sell throwing daggers.
I think.
That might be bp2. But there was something they don't sell. In one of them.
I would consider making 1. A illusionist/thief, especially of you plan on going on to bp2. There is one battle where you might need thieves, and backstabbing can be useful.

I would also just take a straight cleric kit. You already have a berserker->Druid, and cleric kits are pretty awesome. I like lathander, but they're all good.

1), regardless of class,
dart**(put all the rest in here to)
Short sword**

2)**two-handed sword
(Is inquisitor the one that can't missile weapon? Whatever)
**longbow

3) **club, because he's a berserker/Druid
**sling, obviously (put all the next **'s in sling)

4)he's a sorcerer. Probably Q-staff cause darts are taken and I'm not sure about daggers.

5), regardless of class, mace**
And I'll just be lazy and say sling, cause I can't remember if fighter/clerics can use bows.

6)xbow man. Cause they awesome. And I think the army scythe is in bp2. No one cares about an archers Melee *. Longsword cause it's not taken yet, I guess.

Thanks a lot.

I was messing around with creating a party.

Are there any mind flayers? I ask because I did a total powergamer move and dropped INT to 3 when I could to get better stats.

I also rolled my elf archer with a mutha fuggin roll of 98. I've never, ever seen a roll that good.

The real shame is I'm not even going to keep the party. I was just doing a "fast and loose" sample for myself. I wasn't into the Proficiencies I picked or anything.

Another question: will weapons break? I read somewhere they might, but it never happened to me.

As in my proposed IWD party, I'm dropping the Berserker > Druid for an Avenger. The dual class option has really difficult stat requirements.

Confession: I still haven't tried the Black Pits yet.

I've never had a weapon break, but I guess I don't play much. I would worry about it, normal weapons aren't that expensive.
I think there are illithids somewhere in bp2, but I don't remember any specifics.

Cool. I'm not worried about BP2 just yet. These games will be played on my iPhone 6+, and I'm currently using an android (so I don't think I can transfer saves).
