f/m or m/t

Simply put, my question is whether a mage multi-class is a viable character in an tactics enhanced game? I will be part of a small group so won't be hitting 6 exp until near the end...

Detect Illusion

I am going to start up another game (when I get bored with my druid) I am either going down the f/m, f/illusionist, t/m or f/t route. However, my question is does detect illusion actually work? And if so, what range does it need to become effective... and if it is passive...

"... erm ever played Morrowind?"

Well, I did buy elder scrolls II from the bethesda hq... but haven't played morrowind...

I am tempted to start a new game, thinking f/m or dual f/m any suggestions? (druid is great, but i love starting new chars...)

"If there were any more games out there like BG, I'd miss breakfast lunch AND dinner!"

Isn't this the truth, what game since BG has even come close to the level of customization... I mean when I played WOW i got bored almost from creation you have all the abilities you will ever have! I mean with ...

True, if you attempt the keep early it would probably be wise to purchase a few potions of absorbtion, as you not have to worry so much about getting hit :)

Honestly though, golems are perhaps the easiest of all the enemies to defeat, even with a low level party, this one especially since they are blue... (and blue killing is as easy as it gets) It is all about speed, haste works wonders and if you kill it fast enough you can do it before the slow is ...

I would reccommend killing them, as golems tend to die relatively quickly... easy exp...

if your really in trouble/difficulty the girdle with a +3 to blunt, plus the potion of absorption +10 for
an extra +13 AC vs. Blunt... and amulet of poison protection...

fire elementals and invisible servants and haste makes it rather academic... Merely attack one at a time, they turn red in pairs so don't be surprised... and save the iron golem for last, with any luck... your mage won't be able to do much though you could also cast lower resistance a several times ...

main reason, staff from bonus merchants is +10, end of soa is +20, aegis armor +15, which would be +45 to most res, plus machine in watchers keep (if I remember correctly) and the druids bonus, would make him basically invulnerable to elemental attacks...

All druids gain them :)
It is in the TOB manual, but since the exp cap is removed in SOA, I was just wondering if anyone had a manual handy...

Druid Powers, short question

Just a quick question, I have lost my guide. Can someone tell me the levels at which Druids gain the extra resistances, and if it is +10% or +20% and to what elements it applies to.

Thanks!

Abi Dalzim's Wilting Horror is definitely a mainstay spell, as it is one of the most useful 8th level spells... haven't used hopelessness, have to give that one a shoot when I get immy back...

It is very consistant with the Pen and paper version. as 10% is awarded to all experience... skills monsters whatever...

So, they may have figured that it is simpler to simply add the experience bonus onto the characters as most people will have at least a 16 in their prime stat. Also for example ...
