First of all, Hi everyone! This is my first post at Ironworks. Nice to meet you all.
I've just decided to try a solo Kensai/Mage through SoA and ToB, and I've got a few firsts going on - first Tactics game, first Insane game, first solo game...
Lots of reloading going on.
Anyway, I've got Tactics, Ascension, Item Upgrade, and Ease of use (infinite stacking, GM, and Mage THAC0) mods installed, And I somehow managed to get past Improved Illych (Not solo, though!) I've just hit level 12, and am in Chapter 3. Here's a few questions:
What should I spend my proficiency on for Level 12? I've got GM in Katanas (Never used CF before) and 2 in 2-weapon style. I'm wondering if points I put into, say, Daggers or Quarterstaves before dualling will be overwritten by points I put in while my Kensai is inactive. The last point for -2 THAC0 on the off hand of 2-weapon style seems a little wasted. Planning to get specialized in Daggers(Fire tooth) and Quarterstaves(SotM) as utility weapons.
How well can I take on the Twisted Rune with a scroll of Prot. Magic? It would seem to nullify 3 of them, I can toss Azureedge at the vampire, leaving only the Thief to worry about. Then again, maybe I should be worried about MMM in Tactics... I'm hoping to get into Magery with the Big 3 - Amulet of Power, Robe of Vecna, Staff of the Magi.
Finally, is it worth using the Illithium to upgrade the MoD/Azureedge? I'll have NPP from Amulet of Power, and MoD is +4 already, meaning it can hit Kangaxx - The extra XP should be more useful at this stage, yes?
