I got this idea from the D&D Hero Builder's Guide Book.

Get an assassin to level 15 then duel class him to a fighter. When he gets to level 16 he should be a grand master in Katana, a grand master in War Hammer and his two handed weapon skill maxed. Use Crom on the off hand to get his Srength to 25 and Celestrial Fury on his main hand. Use the clock of Non-Detection, Poison your weapon, hide in shadows and then do a backstab X5. You should be able to do a 200-400 damange plus poison damage. Then drink a poition of invisability and find another target. But this dont work if a mage has stoned skin on. Also this dont work on Dragons, liches and demoms who can detect illusions.

With stealth, with surprise, and a single death blow. You don't exspect a thief to fight a warrior hand to hand or a mage to fight a warrior hand to hand. Therefore you should except an assassin to backstab you.

And that you needed a book for? :rolleyes:

LOL. Yeah, sure.

Are you sure you want to spend your time waiting to get back up to level 15 after you dual?

BTW, I'm not that certain one can backstab when dualwielding. Yoshimo backstabs with one katana OK, but I had Valygar try to backstab while dual-wielding katanas, and I received a message that he can't. Which is sorta stupid, it's not like I want to hit with both of them at the same time, but anyhow...

Nope, you can backstab whilst dual-wielding. Where you using his family blade? For some reason the game won't let you backstab with this, although you can whilst dual-wielding other katanas, or any other for that matter.

Orgrim u are at it again!

Me and WhoDeany are gonna get a reputation of about 3 soon at this rate.

But cummon man? do you not find that just blatantly broing and unfair? the first time... yeah okey... wikked... but after that this tactic must be hihgly boring. If i was DMing a proper PnP game... i just wouldn't allow someone to have a character of that power. But hell that's me!

Well my evil party has a reputation of 1 in BG 2.

I gotta argue with you there. How is it unfair? Boring, maybe, but unfair? In case you haven't noticed, this isn't p&p. I have no doubt you wouldn't let someone have a character that powerfull, but the game does. And he did it without cheating. A little planning, sure, but no cheating(for a change :)). Besides, you couldn't do that till late in the game anyway. And by that time, unless you ruthlessly handicap yourself, you will be powerfull anyway.
