Hello everybody again, I've got a new MAGIC STICK AND A SUPER DOOPER SWORD.

First off, I haven't posted here for a couple of years but that doesn't mean I haven't been playing BG.
So lets start with a big "Hello, love you guys, missed you all so much, mwah, mwah"
(and let's just overlook me driving my family nuts mentioning BG...a lot..."what are we having for supper?"..."Well I just so happen to have this recipe for soup that an old Elven Mage gave me"....why does everybody suddenly want to go to McDonalds?...)
The point of this thread.
So I am a very boring player, I mean really boring. I nearly always play a swashbuckler, I just like the thieving skills and traps too much.
But then I discovered, you can be a thief and a fighter (I mean theoretically I always knew that but never bothered, went for dualing instead plus being a half elf was far, far too close to bloody Neera)
But this run, soloing, I went for F/T/M !!!!!!!!
I am stupidly overpowered anyway but then you get SotM.
And then you get 'Use Any Item'
And then you can use Carsomyre.
And then you get plenty of "SPIKE TRAPS" and even more 'GREATER WHIRLWIND'
And then you are a GOD.
Bugger Bhaalspawn powers, I am a God (GODDESS actually) in my own right.
So anyway, that's what's going on with me.
I expect you all to be suitably overawed should we meet and to practice your genuflecting just in case.

Thankyou, that's comforting. I can hardly say "half elf"...I hear it in her voice.
But now I have Godlike powers, I can smite her.
(I always do in BG anyway.)
Carsomyr is great and all that, but try using GWW and the Silver Sword for some even better slicing & dicing. Heck, if you really dig Godhood, use EEKeeper, make yourself a Fighter/Mage/Swashbuckler and become the God of the Cuisinart!
You mean the two-handed sword which lets off a random fireball every so often isn't the best?
(The party will be immune to fire at high levels. All six of them. And no dodges like the Cloak of Mirroring or 100% magic resistance.
Then again, random fireballs won't hold a candle to all the incendiary clouds and fire storms I'll be throwing around by then.
I really should get back to actually playing the run, instead of just talking about it.)
I can't decide if you are joking or serious.
Why is Soul Reaver the better sword?
I find the dispell on Carsomyr to be vital.
I usually use the Staff of the Magi for +5 weapon dispels since more characters can use it, and before that, I just have my typically magic-heavy parties memorize a couple of Secret Word spells and a Breach to debuff enemy mages on round 1. Carsomyr can do the work a lot of the time--even when PFMW and SI: Abj are up, you can still have another party member take down the latter so Carsomyr's Dispel Magic can break through--but I normally find other methods to do the dispelling.
