Favorite class ability?

Pyrenk · 07-31-2003, 08:26 AM

See topic. By class ability I mean Turn Undead, Stealth, Detect Traps, Pick Pockets, (What's the Bard song called?), etc. Anything that the class starts with, and that you can use as many times as you want.

I'd have to say Stealth. If my F->D had access to Stealth, I'd be in heaven. Instant invisibility for free. *sigh*

The Bard Song is called....Bard Song!

Stealth and/or invisibility becuase 98% creatures in BG II don`t see trough invisibility.

Edit: Bard song stacks! So if you`re singing and you Clone is singing...get my drift?

gotta love the stealth [img]smile.gif[/img]

i'm tempted to say find/remove traps though - it just seems such an important part of moving competently through your environment - whenever i think about just walking through traps i get a cartoon-like image of some blundering buffoon

"Charge!" - click - WHACK - eurgh - - click - WHHAAKK - etc . . . singed edges, birds flying in circles round your head . . .

its what's put me off the idea of non-thief-element solos - i know the numbers work, but the idea . . .

Rangers should have Find/Remove traps as well, but only in natural surroundings, lol. I'm implying that there would be traps as well...

Pyrenk · 07-31-2003, 09:03 AM

Too bad there isn't a way for a druid to have Stealth. I'd love a Thief->Druid, though. Or a Ranger->Thief...

It's also VERY nice to use Turn Undead. I love it when the undeads that attack me in packs explode into tiny bits

Happened to a load of shadows outside the Ruins.

Pyrenk · 07-31-2003, 10:20 AM

That's the funny thing. How does a Shadow explode into meaty chunks? (That sounds so strange) It's a shadow, it has no body, and yet in can detonate and become flesh and blood. Strange, eh?

My favorite ability.. would have to be trap detections and disarm traps, thieves are really handy in the game.

Turn Undead for me, for the reason that JrKASperov mentioned

.

Quivering Palm is not a choice, Gangrell. I mean abilities that can be used from the interface on the bottom, not the special abilities button. Leave it if you want to, though.
