All paladin/Cleric party (roleplaying)

[jim ström]

I am creating an all paladin party, and i want to use all of the kits from the paladin and some clerics. Basically my part looks like this:

Cavalier
Inqusitor
Undeadhunter
Fighter/cleric
Cleric/Thief
Cleric of helm

now my problem is, to get equipment for these heroes, and i want it to be equipment which suits the role, like the daystar, purifier, Holy avenger etc etc, so tell me which equipment should i use, and which proffiency points?

[Ekental]

Ugh? It's your party, though if you want the equipment that suits, that means that you can't use anything but the suited equipment?
Like you can't use Storm Star? Answerer? Or just that you can't use items with descriptions that say they are evil?
Good combos are Purifier/Answerer (Answerer is not tech. "equipment which suits the role") (bastard sword and long sword)
Something Holy and Crom Faeyr (though again, Crom Faeyr, does that count as "equipment which suits the role"?)
And what about ranged weapons? What ranged weapons suit the role? Can you be more specific in what items you want to limit your choices to?

[jim ström]

okay, i want equipment that is typical good, you know like Daystar and the holy avenger and armor of haart, not typical evil weapons like adjatha the drinker or sword of chaos, missile wapons could be anything which is'nt evil.

Get the Sling of Avoreen +4

Will you take some NPCs or only created characters? You could take Keldorn as Inquisitor, Anomen as Fighter/Cleric.

BTW : You could change your Fighter/Cleric for a Mage/Cleric (You have enough tank with 3 Paladins, and some mage spells like Haste could be really usefull...) Aerie could be a great choice there.

[Stats.]

well if you plan on cheating to get these weapons then i suggest the croem fayr, carsomyr, equilizer(tho im not sure anyone in your party can use it) sling of evereen(or however you spell it), the purifier and thats about all the good weapons i can think off.

[Ekental]

KK then,
Again...
Purifier/Answerer is a powerful combo for the paladin, it's like a more offensive version of Carsomyr
Of course you want to pick up the Rune Hammer or Mace of Disruption, both are great for undead,
Anyone can use Crom Faeyr in the offhand and be good, you don't even need proficiency in war hammer, the only thing you need it for is the str bonus,
Same goes for Angurvadhil (Prolly spelled that wrong)
Daystar isn't that great, it hits as a +2 (despite what it says about +4 against undead, thats dmg only) and it's only useful for the sunray ability

Ranged weapons... Sling of Seeking +2 is great as you get your str bonus added to dmg, even though it's +2 it will do more dmg than any other sling if the mobs not immune to your dmg, even then equipping the correct bullet normally does the trick.
Firetooth crossbow is good for obvious reasons
Maybe get the Taralash and upgrade it

For prof points just concentrate on the weapons that you choose, i.e. purifier/answerer combo, take 2 in bastard sword, long sword, and 3 in two weapon fighitng. Plan what exactly you want and then follow it through

[SP101]

Inquisitor should wield Casomyr +5 (Upgraded to +6 in ToB)

Cavalier should dual-wield Purifier & Answerer

Undead Hunter could dual-wield Mace of Disruption with any other Anti-Undead weapon

Fighter/cleric could have Crom Feyr & a shield

Cleric/Thief should be equiped with sling & shield

Cleric can have whatever he wants, because you don't need another tank, you need a support spellcaster & a healer.

If you replace the Fighter/Cleric by a Mage/Cleric, he could wield slings too (Or staves), and let Crom Feyr to your Cleric of Helm.

[jim ström]

Now thats intresting, i think i should change my fighter/cleric to a mage/cleric, maybe i take Aerie.

[SP101]

If you take Aerie, then you'll have a romance for your PC

[Pepsimax_x5]

Theres that Axe fatty sells in the Copper Cornet if u free the slaves. Stonfire or something. Got bonusses against undead so i think itd count as a 'good' weapon.

[Thrain]

the axe you're refering to is Azuredge.

he also sells stonefire, one of the two best axes in SoA

[lompo]

Some suggestion for the party if you want NPC:
PC=Cavalier
Keldorn=Inquisitor
Minsc=Undead hunter (with SK)
Anomen=cleric
Aerie=Cleric/mage
Imoen= tief dualled to mage, she isn't a cleric, but she is your sister and RPG wise being a good party you shouldn't abandon her.
As for weapons (RPG wise):
Gswords: Carsomir, Hallowed Redeemer (upgradable with mod)), Flame of the North, Spider bane
Bswords: Purifier, Foebane
Axe: Azuredge, axe of Hrothgar
Lswords: Daystar (upgradable with mods), Answerer, sword of Balduran, Dragon slayer, Equalizer, blade of Roses, Flametongue
Mace: MoD, mace of Jarrod
Club: Bone club
Hammer: Runehammer
Spears: spear of Unicorn.
Flails/M.stars: Everard's M.star
those should be "good weapons" or specifically anti "evil" weapons. I didn't consider ranged weapon.
As for armour:
Plate armour: Armour of the hart, Firecam armour, Pride of Legion, plate of Blduran
Chain/leather: Bladesinger/Asylferund and other elven mails, armour of Faith, robe of the good Archimagi

[Thrain]

the crom can be considered an anti-evil weapon. the guy who made it went out to battle trolls - evil creatures

If you're playing with any MODs, it could fundamentally alter the recommendations, but I'll assume you're playing a basic game, maybe with the bonus merchants. We'll deal with the pallies last, since they have a pretty broad choice of weapons. You're not going to be restricted much - there are only a few weapons in either game that could reasonably be considered evil - Neb's nasty cutter (whoopee), maybe the Stiletto of what's her face (De Marchioness?), Bloodrazror, Adjatha, Sword of Chaos, Soul Reaver (the +4 two hander from the underdark), maybe the Blade of war from ToB. That's about it.

Your cleric thief will want a backstab capable weapon, so go staves, ultimately using the staff of the ram, probably, or Rynn when knockback is undesirable.

Single class cleric - well, any blunt, by ToB they'll have adequate proficiency in them all, the Mauler's arm (18 STR) is a great weapon (off or main hand) for a priest with non-stellar strength, and the Defender of Easthaven (bonus merchants) is a super too - AC + damage resist, woo hoo!

Fighter/cleric - Flails (DoE/FoA) or Hammers (CF/Runehammer)

Paladins - one or two two hander guys - one for Carsomyr, one for Liarcor/Psion blade, one should certainly be using axes, there's such a range of good ones - Frostreaver, Stonefire, Azuredge, K'logarth, and Axe of the Stoic , one should maybe go katanas (especially if you have tactics - Cel.Fury+Sanchuudoku) - but also don't forget the other two handers -spear (Impaler, etc.) or halberd (That nice +4 with multi-elemental damage from the Underdark, and the ToB halbard). Missile weapons to taste.

Finally, don't forget - dual wielders can get the benefits form off-handers so lang as they can equip them - you don't need any longsword skill to get the immunities form the Equalizer, or hammer skill to get the STR from CF.

Also, don't forget, you can hack your fave Bioware NPCs into paladins, etc. It may lead to some bizarre dialogue, but what the heck

Hey, nice party... try improving your buffing skills... they will become very handy. Dont worry bout weapons at the beggining, you got plenty of spells with weapons.

Try Carsy for pallys. The only problem you might have is when you get high levels, cause not many maces and staves are +4 or higher.

Imo, just exchange one of them pallys for an evil Wizard Slayer, with proficiencies on two handed sword.
