I'm playing an Agent right now, level 8. I'm pretty stuck in the game.
Thahds in the Lair of the Creator just beat the crud out of me, even the worms (especially Ice Worms) below Fort Khandi (I think its called?) can beat me up.
I have the Agent NPC you can get to join you with me, also.
I was thinking the Guardian might be better, but he ran off early on and I havent gone back to get him (so he might be a little weak...)
Also, is there a regenerating stock or location of Living Tools? I ran out and need 2 more to open the 2nd door in that Lair.
I'm starting to think I should of played a Shaper... but I recall Agents being tough to play early on in Geneforge 1 and then being awesome later, so i'll see (I havent played Geneforge 2 yet)
