Anyone out there other then little sicko old me like to kill using the death by obsence number of trap method?? I really get a kick out of watching those allmighty draons or Liches die and not knowing what happened.
Hack its even useful against Melissan. I've try every single class in the game and I still like this best lol

It's considered "cheese"--in other words, it takes advantange of a hole in the game mechanics. Not saying you *shouldn't* do it; after all, you purchased the game, and you're welcome to do whatever you want with it. Just don't expect to earn a helluva lot of respect for announcing that fact.
It's been a regular item for discussion, up here.
I seem to recall that somebody did a bugfix for this--Baldurdash, perhaps?--but don't recall who.
Personally, I get the greatest thrill out of beating something fairly, not because I can plant traps in plain sight that the AI can't deal with.
But each to their own.

I believe Kevin Dorner released it, but the author may have been different, Manveru? KensaiRyu?

Bards have traps aswell so with your tactics bards should be doable. Blades imo are one of the best if not the best solo class.
