SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

Hey guys, last night watch for the first time The Shining with 2 friends!

No you are not...Twillight...ugh

and Kate Beckinsale is yummy.

Hence why the Beastmaster is an insanely useless class. Not as bad as a Wizard Slayer is when compared to a Paladin or a normal fighter (since both can use magic items which actually make you resistant to magic in a meaningful way), but still, it's pretty pointless. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't know Throne Of Bhaal would come up and I'd find I could only use clubs and staffs and my summoned animals would die in one hit.

Hardcore!

Less of a problem in BG1 since blunt weapons also covers quarterstaffs, but yeah, the +2 club from the Druid Grove really isn't enough. Not that I've beat BG2 yet, I've gotten sidetracked by my foolish BG1 adventure.

Which one's your favorite, Luke?

Disco Volante is probably the album that got me into avant-garde music, so it holds the honor of being my favorite Mr. Bungle album. And as much as I like California, DV is just so much weirder, but in a good way.

Jaheira has the larger problem of being worthless. In BG2 you can give her a strength enhancing item and she's great, but nobody wants a druid that can't cast iron skins and summon fire elemental.

And got to about level 5. Or preferably 9. And preferably have stoneskin and mirror image so can cast it with impunity. And preferably that ring mathingy that doubles your first level spell slots. But it's a good spell.

Yeah, low level mages have problems. I think I ended up alternating blindness, running away, casting larloch's minor drain (well, it stops mirror image more reliably than magic missile) and sacrificing party members who nag me too much. Jaheira went right down.
