YigorYigor Member Posts: 908
Name: Bayl'Mifal, NG male dwarf, dwarven defender.
STR=18/88, DEX=17, CON=19, INT=WIS=9, CHA=16.
Initial proficiencies: morning star++, 2 weapons++.

He starts at level 1 but with nice equipment, accumulated in my previous game:

2 Defender Morgensterns+4: AC+2, piercing and slashing resistances +20%, magic resistance +15% (for each weapon);
Durdel Anatha armor+6: AC=-3, physical resistance +10% or
White Dragon armor: AC=-2, cold resistance +50%;
2 rings of fire resistance (+40% each);
Boots of cold resistance (+50%) and others.

It gives, while in Defensive Stance, the immunity to piercing and slashing damage, great resistance to crushing and ranged damages and also the immunity to cold and fire.

Protection vs crushing damage and electricity can be completed with Potions of Absorption. 😎

N.B. AC=-17 and can be improved to AC=-19.

    It never happened to me before and it makes pleasure to get zero damage from multiple hits (while being surrounded by undead of the Burial Isle ☠️). The game states:

    immunity to slashing damage! 👍

    Is it possible to get high physical resistances (ideally, immunities) in BG2? what equipment? 🤔
