Hello,
I am receiving this game soon and have begun to think about my party. My preference is to do as much as possible at range, so this is what I was thinking: Male Hobbit Fighter Male Mook Ranger Male Human Ranger Female Hobbit Gadgeteer Female Hobbit Bard Female Farie Bishop Thinking: 1. Hobbit fighter: his senses won't be so low as the Lizard or Dracon. Important (?) because he will learn both sword and bow. 2. Two rangers - they are ideal ranged fighers, no? The mook for the Great Sword and the Human for higher magic stats, to act as an alchemist. 3. Having both the Gadgeteer and a Bard - seems like two "pseudocasters" will be good, given that I only have one bishop. Also, the ranged party should have an omnigun. I'm reading that the bard's power is too great to ignore. 4. Bishop will study all schools. Maybe will follow something like the following: http://www.geocities.com/shau185/bishop.html 5. Bard, fighter, and rangers will learn bow. 6. I will recruit robot monk for the front and vi for the flank, for additional melee power. I am seeking general comments but also answers to some specific questions: Does anybody think a purely thrown-combat ninja beats the second ranger? Can one get two Great Swords? Then maybe two mook rangers is better? Any problems with the hobbit as the fighter? Will I have ammo problems? Thanks in advance. |

Here's what I suggest. Make your Rangers Female as well. Tripleshot crossbows are big stamina drainers, and you find a few medicine bags later on to go with the necklaces of endurance you find early on.
Instead of the Fighter, I'd like to suggest a Samurai. Have him use Bloodlust for most of the game (to get the fighter's berserk) and develop his magic for range.. If you want a ranged party, then this will help while you're still at range. Hobbits make great Samurai. As for great arrows, Sadok in Martens Bluff sells Viper Arrows... best in the game till you can get lightning bolts and mystic arrows consistently. Anna in Arnika and Crock in the Swamp sell plenty of Hunter Quarrels though and they do fine. Crock is also great for Impaling stones for your gadgeteer.

I found out that a Human Monk do perform better then a Hobbit. You better take a Elf Bishop, they can where much more armors and weapons. The Ferie race bonus is only worth at the very begining of the game. After Arnika it's not a real bonus anymore

for the Giant's Sword: you can get them from several Death Lords (Sea Caves, South East Wilderness) .. the Swords seem to be guaranted in the loot ... futhermore you have a small chance to find it in the Queen's Chest in Rapax Castle..
