And we have six! Righto, I'll just get started then, it's already late though so don't be surprised if you don't get an update until tomorrow.

And in my egarness (Ok I cannot spell that properly, nothing looks right.) to set off I forgot I was still waiting on a little info from Myroc :/

Aaand he's showing as offline, I'll do as much as I can without gaining any experience so that I can just overwrite his character with the information once I get it.

[Vester]

No problemo.

Also just so y'all know I've barley scratched the surface of this game since my urge for perfection often leads to me abandoning parties after a particularly disastrous event, I'll be asking you guys what I should do at major points and I'll give you tips for as far as I know but after a while we'll be sailing blind.

That's what makes Icewind Dale Fun!

Although I just noticed something: we only have 2 meatshields primary warriors. The other four are primary casters.

This will be epic. It's a good thing there's two healers.

[Jreengus]

Yes, with 4 caster, I feel that the boss battles will likely be easiest, while its the minor fights where I'm either going to have to keep heading back to town to rest so we can cast spells again or else try to manage without them where I'll be taxed.

Edit: Also Jonathan you can't use crossbows, if you want a ranged weapon you'll have to pick either daggers or missile weapons.

[Vester]

Hmm... Well, once the mages get fireball, then mass encounters will be no problem. Until then you'll be forced to rely on the Dwarf fighter's meatshield capabilities, and the Ranger's too.

[Jreengus]

Vester, you cant use crossbows. Clerics are limited to crushing weapons so the only available ranged weapon for you would be a sling.

[Myroc]

I'm not offline! Just distracted.

I'll go with a crossbow and Armour as a third spell. Chill Touch if i can't take Armour as a necromancer. If i can't take that either, just pick something yourself.

NOW i will go offline.

[Jreengus]

Mages can't use crossbows!!! What is everyones obsession with crossbows?!?!?!?! Only Fighters rangers paladins and bards may use crossbows!

[Vester]

Shoot, I thought clerics were only restricted from using edged weapons. 

Okay, a sling it is! 

[Jreengus]

Cross bows bolt probably counts an edge? Anyhow I believe it comes from the real life restriction that men of the cloth shouldn't draw blood, hence the loophole that bashing someones brains in isn't technically drawing blood.

[Jim Groovester]

You're missing a thief! How will you pick locks and detect traps if you don't have a thief? I suppose just bash the locks open and have the dwarf walk through the traps then? What a brutish way to do things!

This'll be fun to watch.

[Jreengus]

Yes I am somewhat worried about the lack of a thief, some of the traps are ok to just detonate but some can easily wipe out your entire party, I remember at least one trap which you have to either detonate or disarm which wiped out half my party once.

Remember: Send the Dwarf in first.

Missile Weapons.
