    my primary character right now is Kattath, a gnome only child. he has mastered, force, conveyance, and phantasm. he also knows charm, stun, harm, agility of fire, wall of fire, and fireflash. he will max out int and wp and will put 2 points into ch so he can have 2 followers + dog because of his blessings. constitution will also be maxed through the ring of virility and the +4 con necklace. he needs suggestions on other skills. he will probably master the fire school and perhaps black necromacy as well. raising dx is also an option but i am curious as to what people think this character would benefit most from. he carries several mage and arcane staffs so he always has plenty of mana. he has no combat skills whatsoever, though dodge is an option if dx is raised. mostly im looking for help on what to do at the end with this character. also for my followers i was thinking either virgil, raven, perriman smith, or jormund as well as dog. any suggestions about this would be helpful as well.

    If you wanted an unstopable mage all you really need, is the black necro spell, "harm" and a 100% magickal skill rating. Then just watch the bodies fly.

    I'm not sure what you think, but the best race to learn the most spells to me is half-orc. WHY? It's because as a frequent multiplayer, I cannot always have potions comfortably in my belt, so i require 18 constitution 4 my maintain spells., But if you ask me, 15 months OF PAINSTAKING BRAIN RACKING AND HOURS OF LEVELING AND FIELD TESTING has told me, in multiplayer the BEST kind of multiplayer character is a hybrid, one closer to tech.

    do the gods quest. When you finish it, your mage won't run out of mana again! I did the quest and it put my health and mana over 200. My character feels unstoppable now!

    i noticed his quadruple posting, but we have been new people to this forum and he may have messed up. so forgiveness is warranted if it was a mistake and if it wasnt, well he shouldnt do it again...

    Jormund can be a free follower. He needs an open slot to join, but, like Dante, when asked to wait & rejoin, he no longer fills one. Got the CH of a rock? Just have Vergil wait while you get him to join & wait & rejoin.

    ive never liked dante and my computer has been slowing down so im trying to avoid lots of followers, but in addition to dog and jormund im considering having: vigil and raven, virgil and perriman smith, or raven and perriman smith. which would be best?

    Well, I think if you're a good person, then Virgil won't be there for much longer, just hold onto the three charachters.

    hmmmm, never ran into that, I think the only guys that would possibly if you were evil is magnus, chukka, or gar...or any other really good guy that complains when you kill something.

    Jormund will follow an evil PC, but gripe like any other goody - goody. THere is always the Dark Helm. His MA could stand a boost.
