Baldur's Gate Icewind dale all dwarf party

[razvedchiki]

so i picked icewind dale ee from gog for 10 euros and thinking of making a party consisting only of dwarfs,an idead that brew in my mind for many years.

lorewise it will be a company from a long lost dwarf hold,survivors that founded a merc company lending their axes for a living and a sack of gold.
aligment wouid range from chaotic good to neutral.

this is my generall idea for classes

party leader- dwarven defender,1handed axes+shield
1st melee-berserker,2handed axe
2nd melee-barbarian,dual wield maces
fighet/cleric,warhammer+shield
fighter/thief,light crossbow
fighter,heavy crossbow

so no magic at all,only any passive stuff from cleric.i wish i could have a skald to boost THACO/AC but dwarfs cant be bards
planning to take them through original campaign then heart of winter and heart of fury.

any suggestions are welcome.

Actually, Tolkein took the names for Thorin and company from the Norse Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson.

a paladin would fit much better as party leader,even if i couldnt use any swords but 2.5 rules dont allow dwarfs to become paladins

 

[Somberlain]

Seriously speaking though, your barbarian can probably pick another weapon to specialize in in addition to maces, since barbarians can only put 2 points in weapon proficiencies. There are plenty of good longswords in the game so that might be a good choice.

 

[razvedchiki]

i think that dwarfs in DnD dont use longswords or any kind of bow except crossbows.

im thinking either to use flails or maces,what would be best available at the time.

one advantage of an all dwarf melee party is that i could sell anything magic related,spell scrolls wands and non dwarf weaponry.
that way i would be able to buy earlier the magic weaponsform the blacksmith in kudahar

Grumpy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey and Doc?

I did sort of the same thing recently except I also took one gnome as a mage and one halfling as a thief. The rest of my party were all dwarves (two pure fighters and two fighter/cleric). I specialized one of my fighters in two-handed axes and boy did he deal some damage with that super-expensive two-handed axe you can buy in Kuldahar and that grants you +1 constitution.

Played with the IWD Fixpack, UB, Item Upgrade, Tweak Pack, 1PP High-Quality Music and Widescreen, which all work fine (no EE though).

i thought at first to add a gnome illusionist/thief but thwn decided against it thinking that all dwarf party would add to the difficulty.
have you finished the game?tried heart of fury?

Finished the game (and enjoyed it except for Dragon's Eye) but didn't have enough motivation to play through HOW or TotL. Didn't try heart of fury mode either.

Actually, it was the first time I was playing IWD.

 

[razvedchiki]

suposedly in heart of fury mod you get new unique umber weapons and new enemies though i havent confirmed these claims.

 

[Dr Skeleton]

There are no barbarians in IWD 1 unless you're playing the EE or something. Just base fighters, rangers and paladins. Other than that, the party seems nice, without a wizard it's a completely different (more difficult and better IMO) game.

HoF is kinda like playing Diablo on the next difficulty level, it's all the same shit just with better stats on everything, if I remember correctly the new "unique" items are just the same you get normally, but +5 instead of +1 for example. I love IWD, but I never got past act 2 in HoF, hp bloat + high level D&D just doesn't do it for me.

HoW is good.

He probably just assumed you're not a complete retard who'd play EE instead of the original version. I suppose he didn't see

Listen to me edgyfagot i played rpgs before you were born so piss off with your codexian lectures about join date=rpg experience and go troll rpgwatch.

I wanted to try an all-dorf party once but couldn't really resist the temptation to get some gnomes and halflings there.
They still couldn't ride rollercoasters, so I guess it was half-cheating
