    Ive beaten the game with
    -technologist/fighter :boxing:
    -mage/fighter :boxing:
    -Pure Mage
    -Gunfighter/thief/techie :rifle:
    -pure fighter :smash:

    Any new Ideas I should try? Im really sick of Melee Fighting and Mages. I dont like followers because they take my XP and make my computer go SLOW, So no character ideas that would need followers to fight for me.

    I went through a game with my character being a barbarian once - a half orc that nobody liked, background : barbarian and he only wore barbarian armors, that was interesting, basically a pure fighter but people react to you more. You could try that.

    Thanks Deadly Bread!

    I like the half orc Barbarian Deadly Bread, but with a twist, I put 2 cps into summoning and 5 into meta so I can summon Orcs and then cast reflection shield on them and have orc followers. A Half orc leading a tribe of orcs, YESSSSSSSSS!

    Orc tribe, that's beautiful, I still need to make a shepherd with an invincible army of sheep(via reflection shield and polymorph) - I can't decide whether to give him any practical skills though, I might just give him all the useless spells and try to go through the game without investing in anything that's useful in any way...

    I just made the Orc tribe leader, no one will talk to me so I guess it will be one of those destroy the world characters!!!

    Oh now I have some new ideas
    -the herd of undead cows
    -the group of false demons (nightmare)
    -billions of vorpal bunnies or if you have low magig apt. an army of cougars!

    Oh how I now love reflection shield, Any other funny ideas?

    Well, I can't take all the credit for my plan, somebody else mentioned the sheep trick, and I just expanded it to it's logical extreme.

    You only need enough inteligence to have 2 spells running at once. Cast the creature you want, Cast reflection shield on it, Cancel the creature, Cancel the Reflection Shield and Viola! A summoned follower that dosent use fatigue.
    A warning however, Some creatures, when they are with you will not let NPC's talk to you, and you cant de-summon them.


    Oh I have another interesting Idea, Miniature Orcs! The shrink spell should come in Handy Here... God I need spring break to be over so I can get my life back... :grin:
