[Celacena]

I got UAI (now level 30 of last night) and didn't like the thief in metal - (elven) PC has got 20 dex (19 + machine +1 ) - the Toll took a point of wisdom (back to 17) instead of dex. didn't get the +1 on the deck of many things, but did get 1,000,000 points just for the PC - hence the level 30 BEFORE underdark or the end of WK

using:
black dragon scale armour
ring of gaxx
swapping between cloak of non-detection/reflection (spell damage)
ioun stone
swapping rings - danger sense/lock picks/earth elemental control
staff of the magi
amulet of power (only to prevent level drain)
boots of speed
paladin's bracers (for HP) swapping to gloves of pickpocketing, when needed (but as have 150% plus skill, it's a safety measure only)

then using staff of the ram (+4) or ?avagadrul? +4 or Daystar (if the bonuses apply e.g. undead)

I can now use the staff to turn invisible & get away to hide in shadows, then return for the big hits. with the assassination skill - I don't know how much that can get to, but it is x7 backstab multiplier and I have already obliterated a number of mid-level enemies. I can hardly wait for ToB proper, but I want to play the party through.

will the SotM and cloak of non-detection work against the big bosses in ToB?


As for the BMU - you can only get that if you started in BG1, surely? Pantaloons etc
