    ok, a part of my question is involved in the fact that I don´t know if I should play Berserker or Barbarian... ( Plus that I wanted to know the best armours to these classes :p )
    Does the fighters(berserkers) get MUCH more ac than barbarians?
    hm. I hate myself for never beeing able to descide anything........... :(

    You seem to like hack'n slashing. No offense I stayed in the army. Hack'n slash is great sometimes. Then I would use the Barbarian. Not because of the Armor but mainly because he can get immune to Imprisonment. Then You can really hack those evil liches. But armor is definately The shadow armor I think. I just found it and its great. Makes him look dark and cool.

    [​IMG] yup. I acctually made a Barb. but I haven´t played him for so long. I do love Hack´n´slash, and I want my char. to be the coolest, strongest, meanest half-orc bastard in my party :)
    humm. perhaps I should make my own topic about bar. and ber.
    Gee, ones again I´m sorry for changing the topics... But as I recall, there were another topic about the very same thing but I can´t find it :p

    does it matter? its Your own thread? If the moderators don't like it they can just delete the thread. Anyway to Your hero. I can begin to see him before me.

    Shagroth the Halforc Barbarian
    str: 19
    dex: 16-18
    con: 19
    wis: +8
    int: +9(cool if you will use scrolls.I just experienced that :( )
    cha: +1

    Halberd "the Wave" and shadow armor.

    Please call him Grummsh I think he is the coolest hero ever.Better than my mage/thief (I tried to make a male Imoen)

    Hehe, sorry but Shagroth it is :D
    His stats are right now ( I made a try-out char. ) :
    str.19
    dex.18
    con.19
    int.5 :) ( I figured that he´s really stupid or sumthin´)
    wis.7
    char.5-6 (Don´t remember excactly...)
    (Chaotic evil)
    I try to make him as "real" as possible hence the low int. wis. and char.
    When I made him I still had about 10 left to pick on stats but I didn´t.
    It´s all for the roleplayin :)

    Haha, you really regret now that you didn´t make yerself a bar.-half orc instead of your male imoen figure? :D
    Well. restart the game! I think that I´ve done that about a million times :)

    a million times. That's quite a lot. :p Perhaps I will Take my own Copy of Grummsh/Shagroth someday. I played all day and don't feel like playing through that again. But I found this new game that looked interesting. I think I'll check it out. Can't say its name here obviously its forbidden. But let me know how Shagroth is doing. great I hope.

    There is no rule that says you can't mention the name of another game. This is an independent site. You shouldn't get into a big discussion about it in the BG2 forum, since it is off-topic, and you shouldn't link to illegal copies, but there is no rule about mentionning other games in the FAQ. If so, Extremist would be in trouble for how often he mentions Planescape ;->.

    Oh, man... The Nomad, does this mean that I have to make one of those "Shagroth, the soloing Barbarian´s saga"? Like Nobleman´s?
    :)
    hehe, ok well .. I´ll tell you how it works out for him but I won´t do that entire story thing :D
