Curious Artila Xenodave Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I am about half way through A4 for my first time with a pretty standard 4 character party (2 slith pollarm users, a human mage and a human priest, and my mage is also a (low skilled) archer and (high skilled) lockpicker, and am thinking of starting a second party. I am looking for advice from other A4 fans. Any ideas for another party? I am looking for interesting combinations, especially with archers. Any recomendations? Note I am not planning on trying to solo this game; I save and restart enough as it is. :-) Ircher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note I am not planning on trying to solo this game; I save and restart enough as it is. :-) Myself, I tend to use four custom characters. A human sword fighter with Natural Mage and enough mage and priest skill to cast War Blessing and Haste is my primary tank. A human priest with enough priest skill to cast Smite, enough mage skill to cast Slow, low skill with polearms, and Natural Mage to wear good armor is my main healer/secondary tank. A human wizard with enough mage skill to cast Icy Rain and enough priest skill to cast Protection, along with Natural Mage again just for the bonuses is my main wizard/second healer. I round this out with a nephil archer with high tool use, Sharpshooter, and Nimble Fingers to get past any traps or locks. Then I just increase their stats based on what I use them for or find lacking. It's not The Best Party, but it suits me just fine, and I usually take 2 positive traits, so Slith characters tend to be cost-prohibitive to me.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 For A4, my favorite party was this: Human priest/sword-wielding-warrior Slith mage/spear-wielding-berserker Nephil mage/archer/rogue Human priest All of these characters had the emphasis on the magic part (i.e.: my warrior could cast RETRIBUTION!!!), and it worked beautifully. Sadly, this was my second time through the game, and I couldn't maintain my interest past Fort Remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 For A4 I used a custom party: Nephil divine touch elite warrior - used as an archer Slith divine touch elite warrior - pole weapon primarily Human divine touch natural mage - primarily mage/thief Human divine touch pure spirit - primarily priest The spell casters start at 5/5 mage/priest to get all free spells. I want the priest to get up to lightning spray, but it isn't needed at the Eastern Gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Retrospecter Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I tried doing a solo thing, but it sure didn't work out well, so I tried it with two. I then figured I'd need a 3rd guy to carry all my stuff. I ended up with (all custom, and no extra traits, BTW): a figher/priest slith, an archer/melee weapon figher/weak spellcaster nephil (with lockpicking-ness), and a priest/mage human (with high strength). It's going pretty well so far. I make a new character, load 'im with cave/arcane lore, and delete him afterwards whenever I need more of those stats, which is kinda cheaty, but saves me points nonetheless.
