![]() Sorry for the long quote, but Quartz has spoken the complete truth. That Dispel Magic ability is always helpful. Me personally? I tend to go with either the Kensai, the Archer, or the Inquisitor. You'll be just a little better than a ranger or paladin when fighting normal enemies, but you'll never have an enemy that you're especially good at killing, which is where the ranger and paladin shine. Your THAC0 will be the same when fighting a skeleton as when fighting a dragon, and you'll always deal the same damage to both. If you choose a kit that grants you immunity to charm, for instance, you'll never have to worry about killing your friends.įighters are always as good as they look. The Archer kit for the ranger, however, is just about the best ranged weapon user you can create, because you do get the grand mastery, as well as a number of other bonuses that make you the best at what you do.įor paladins, it tends to be all about the immunities. A ranger's favored enemy bonus is killer against the favored enemy, but useless against everything else. These abilities the Ranger and Paladin get are not only more exciting, but also effective.Ī paladin's turn undead ability is really handy when you're fighting undead, but slightly less useful when fighting off a horde of gibberlings. Can't be overlooked.įighters, while undoubtedly effective of course, are quite boring. Charm Animal has its uses, and best of all if you're so obsessed with weapon pips it's worth mentioning that Rangers start out with two pips ** in Two Weapon Style. ![]() Rangers get Stealth, and the proper +4 attack bonus for attacking from stealth. Cavalier gets plenty of Remove Fear, and Inquisitor toss those out for True Sight and Dispel Magic (which are awesome). And this isn't even looking at the other kits. That spell gives you immunity to some effects that usually own fighters, and a flat -2 AC bonus. If you look at Paladin, they get tons of Protection From Evil. Experience cap isn't raising, best you can do is High Mastery ****. First and foremost, you won't be able to get Grand Mastery in BG:EE. ![]() Basically, do ranger or paladin abilities compensate for not having a fighters grand mastery?Short answer: Yes. Ranger, fighter, and paladin all fit the role I'm looking for, but what would be the reasoning behind choosing one over the other.
