You loose only about 5 spell points per level up where one spell domain is left needlessly empty. Not very much, even if you mess up totally with your spell picks a single extra level up is enough to overcompensate.

To be fair i was down two days thinking that end of the word is come.
I was very upset.

Then i hold tight my teeth and start again.
From the beginning of my gamer life i am poor spellcaster. Y'now i like AK-47 and crushing the opps as Conan the Barbarian. This is my gen.

...Good news.
Yes, i got that Captain Matey. How?
Oh, battle after battle till suddenly during one of routine attempts ..voila.. you killed the monster!
Bravo, brave, schon!
How? KMONSTR casts Blind. Then BRAVE use Stink bomb, again same bomb from Paco. CAPO stops another supporters by Lute, TWIIL uses Hold monsters and SCATTY -sleep.
The next round the same action only PACO uses Cherry bomb. 2-3 rounds after and monster kaput. Yes, priest TWILL goes to healing process to heal some wounded first line warriors as SCATTY or himself.
But there is very nice legal trick. Listen and write down:
- You have to have Silver key. During the battle you feel You are going down. Force the priest to play Run. No problem where will be the team. Carefully (DO NOT TRY TO LEAVE THE ROOM!!! N O !! THE CAPTAIN WILL APPEAR IMMEDIATELY!!) face this door (colored white-green, just after Captain) and use Silver key. You will find some stuff but this is not important. The good news is the the whole party is in save place and priest can start healing the team. Rest and rest. Yes, i was attacked by 4 Vines but ha ha ha. So, step by step You may rest fully and now direct to door to force new round of battle. If You feel bad use again and again.
Written?

Woot, I have a shitload of mana!
And a hack of a supporter. For start I bless the party, hold the monster, haste the party so they can hack it away under the given duration, heal if accident happens (fighters knocking a rock, me cutting my finger by pages of spellbook), then cure paralysation on monster and pretend we did heroic act :ouch:

To be fair, barat, the priest TWILL is a very, very useful member of my party. BTW i like the priests in every my game.
Hold monsters - very, very handy spell, especially when Captain Matey attacked me with 10 supporters
Heal wounds - is priceless esp. when my front line warriors aka SCATTY and BRAVE ARE BADLY WOUNDED.
Please, do not forget that battle is not as in Ultima UW 2 when hero used atom bomb and voilaaa... no, here the battles last more than 15 rounds.
Haste - nice spell indeed.

Thanks to Kmonster my team is balanced and ready to meet every challenge even to be used in Wiz 7.
True, Master Scatty?
I would like to share with You when i was hit badly and hide in the save place with no Captain before me, the first act was; the priest imm. heal wounds of poor SCATTY winch life meter was thick as a hair. 2 times. Then Rest, rest and rest and again same process. BRAVE and the same priest were also in bad condition. One may tell me:
- yoga, why not use rest only?
--Because, amigo, You may be attacked in yr sleep from monsters as yoga was attacked. Gladly, my commandos were in 80% of health and the attack was stop..
Moreover do not forget that Priest is front line warrior with SCATTY AND BRAVE.
Not like KMONSTR, CAPO, PACO hide safely behind the backs of 3 -front heroes.
:hihihi:
ha ha ha
It is joke of course.
I like every team member!

Dear twillight, do You play now or played the game? I think - Yes.

Like Jesus Christ :OK:

Nope. I only played Wizardry 4 to get the feeling of the series (it is very nice, just a little uncomfortable), and Ultima 8 (where I could not get accustomed to the heaps of items and quit).

Currently I'm playing Dungeons of Dredmor, where I plan to play El Pollo Diablo (man, I always wanned it for real). Just have the trouble solving some hit-chance problem.

OFF
Dear Mr. Rickett,
may i very politely ask You if i meet problem (i met already) with NWN may i hope You will have time to help a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle?
Merci
:smile2:

Your party is good enough, certainly very good for playing this game for the first time. One could argue it can be better here and there, with this stat and that spell, but that's for those who played the game extensively and know the stuff like their five fingers, so don't worry. Perfect isn't that necessary here, the point is to be able to win the game.

I never played NW1, im playing NW2 ;)
