Once you get to BG2.ranged suffers.A LOT (all the crazy powerful arrows that exist in BG1/EE are either gone completely, or heavily nerfed), as the attack advantage vs melee is largely lost due to increased base attacks and the fact only 4 weapons the archer's bonus applies to have strength bonuses (Dart, Dart+1, Sling of Seeking, Sling of Everard) (Technically dart and dart +1 are the best archer weapons in the game, but they can't hit enemies requiring magical or +2 or higher weapons, respectively). Nothing is immune to blunt damage in the whole saga, nor is anything specifically resistant vs it (only general physical resistance) also most armors are either weak vs it or no bonus (except splint mail which has a +2 ac bonus vs it, though it is an extremely rare type of armor, so not a huge deal), meaning it's much easier to hit most targets vs using piercing or slashing. While archers are somewhat prevalent, most are so weak they'll die in a single hit, so it's easy to simply kill them before they can kill you, aside from a handful of named or rare enemy types.ĭuring BG1, you can easily rely on your bows, though yes a blunt melee is an excellent weapon choice. Only ranged enemies are a threat to an archer, with completely defangs the brainguzzlers, and the majority of enemies. Str, 18 anything (it'll get pumped to 19 with the str tome), dex maxed, con 15+, int whatever, wis 14, cha maxed, if you want.Ĭon and int aren't very important, unless you have stats to spare. But on the other hand, they probably benefit the least out of any class in terms of stat boosting, so playing through one in BG1 for the sake of importing doesn't hold as much of a tangible game advantage. Sorcerers are pretty weak in early BG1 since they don't get level 2 spells until character level 4, but by the end of the game they should be perfectly fine. The main benefit of importing to BG2 is that you get the stat boosts that you may have earned from some unique items in BG1. It's not like the Mass Effect series, for example. It's helped me make a better decision.īG2 assumes you made several canonical decisions regarding party composition, and most other aspects of the story don't continue from BG1. But should I be thinking of that? Are there any real perks to importing?Īny suggestions for another class to roll alongside this one which would be useful in this game as well as when I import it to BG2:EE?Īlso, thank you for all of your comments. I'd love to roll something that would be useful in both but didn't know if Sorcerors were that great in BG, so I thought I'd just create a new character for BG2:EE. In BG2: Shadows of Amn (with ToB), archers were not that powerful, in fact, I found them very weak in comparison to other kits.
