    I personally like

    1) Worthless Mutt
    2) Virgil
    3) Sogg
    4) Sabastian
    5) Raven (I'm a softie for female elves, esp ones running around in combat wearing nothing but a slip... :lol: )
    6) Magnus

    Those are the only ones I've used alot, others I've never used, or only used for a small ammount of time before ending the game or leaving them somewhere.

    Won't do you much good if you get him considering he's in the void

    Thats the controversy my friend, which IS better? only fate can decide that one.




    ...of course magic is stronger and cheaper in every way...

    *spoiler*

    The Void is where the last part of the game takes place, I *think* all lv 50 chars are found here. When you do pick them up here you probably only have about 1-2 hours of gameplay left, not a whole lot to put them to good use.

    Torain Kel is stronger and cheaper in every way!

    Torian Kel is the best, he's a neutral Pure-Melee! Although he has a penalty of -1 Strength, +1 Beauty. So he never gets 20 strength. :( And Worthless Mutt is excellent too, but he can't wear a Machined Plate and a PyroAxe as Torain does!

    The Bane of Kree is much the same as Torian Kel, just that he's already lvl 50, but the bad part is you get him five minutes before finishing the game.

    Don't think so, it's not on the map, plus what good would it do, once you get there you can't come back (correct me if i'm wrong)

    Darn...Because I'm more the type that reads the beginning and ending of a book before the middle (where the writers throw all the boring trash in)

    Well, there is. Force Stringy Pete's cove. Get his boat. Sail to Thanatos. Kill Nasrudin. You will be transported to the Void. Or so I am told.

    Actually, in my view Tech is stronger due to the fact that a good technologist has an endless supply of money, and overall five mech arachnids with a modded machined plate dwarf with good firearms AND a tesla gun could kill any kind of mage.
    The game is better balanced than most people give it credit for.

    Actually it's pretty unbalanced if you ask me. The prowling master has access to 25 automatons (maybe more)

    Oh but mages have those nasty spells like disintegrate and quench life, when all they need to do to kill the dwarf in any plate is to be the first ones attacking.

    And since their spells ALWAYS hit (except for saves) they can be just on the edge of sight halfway behind an object and still hit you 100% of the time and you can only hit them like 50%

    Good point.
    Though wouldn’t the Magick/tech thing more or less guarantee that the first few spells would fail?
    Magick might be better for battle, but Tech gets you money anyway.

    With magick you can mindcontrol the person and make them give you their money!

    682, 1339.

    25? Are there realy 25 of those things in Vendigroth? I have done it with AoF & speed potions. One from each room is all you can get that way. Personal best, 9. Invisibility should get them all as well.
