Since most enemies in HotU are immune to mind-affecting spells anyways, this is a pretty easy school to drop. Illusion is a good choice for specialization, as it only gives up Enchantment. Therferon: 1) Skills are not really important but i need advices on feats and which school to focus on. So how do we actually play mage style? Do we need to heavily rely on our henchman/summon if we dont want to rest constantly? Or i am missing something else to be reliable for solo. Wands are ok but they are not infinite, crafting wand doesnt seem to appeal me because you spend XP! to craft? Some rods are infinite but i think theres only rod frost which actually damages and it only does 5-6 damage:D

Since i can only use very few spells per day it feels like i will have to rest after every battle to recharge my spells and move on. Now i am only level 3 i am relying my henchman, its pretty effortless but if i will go solo the resting part really irritates me. Because in solo you level up fast but monsters start giving you 4 exp and you start getting like 1 level per chapter.ģ) The gameplay is very differrent to fighter type playing. I am not sure if its better to go with henchman or even henchman + summon creature rather than solo. But i think it only affects first few levels? (On last playthrough i was fighter/Cotm/WM with no xp penalty) priests gain more xp than warriors because its more difficult to play with it.

I have read somewhere that experience gain is also affected by the class you play, i.e. But seeing the level cap is 20 for OC 17 seemed low for me. And yes i had done all the side quests with best possible experience rewards. The problem was most of the time i was only getting 4 exp per monster. I only used my henchman to speak and complete their quests. On my last play, i ended up level 17 at the end of OC, even if i dumped my henchman at the mid of chapter 1 and went only solo afterwards. I will be playing it through at the end of HOTU, so i will be planing it mostly for late game.ġ) Skills are not really important but i need advices on feats and which school to focus on.Ģ) I want to power level but experience gain mechanics confuses me. I am thinking of making pure wizard, because i havent played any magic based character before and i want it only wizard just because of higher spell DCs.
