However, the brown bear doesn't appear to give you reach, ...

Reach isn't that great anyways... I gave my Barbarian (who learned Combat Reflexes, since I had no idea what else to choose after Power Attack and Cleave) a Longspear once, just to try, and maybe every third attacker entering the threatened area actually provokes an AoO! Not really that great...

I've actually found it very, very useful. Every so often a combatant gets past without provoking, but most of the time it is dead on.

I have a lvl 6 fighter specialized in longspear with cleave, great cleave, combat reflexes, and he gets a *lot* of extra attacks from combatants that provoke (by moving, spellcasting, etc), and his reach means he always has plenty of opponents nearby to take advantage of any and all cleave opportunities.

Just my experience with it.

One of my fighters in ToEE has spicked chain, reach is VERY useful to me. it gets better when the mage casts enlarge on him and the threat range is bigger.

Brown bears don't get reach in 3.5 anyway: most quadruped have less reach than a similarly-sized biped. Check the monster creation rules in back for details.

But yeah -- due to some bug or another, my gnome druid's movement rate when wildshaped was 10, and he even moved much slower out of combat than anyone else. Combined with his inability to use any ranged weapon (once I'd used all the bullets I bought in town), If he wasn't casting spells in combat, he wasn't doing anything at all.

Well, I only tried it in a few combats, and can't say it was for me!

But that's ok, with the cool Greatsword now my Barbarian is pretty good!

Anyways... where in the game can you buy arcane scrolls?

Because I just recently found out, that my wizard NPC can actually get new spells (that you get from only having a Sorcerer in your party, I didn't really pay attention to the NPC's radial menu that much and missed that copy scroll option (which I had searched for earlier, but at the wrong place (feat page/spellbook)).

In Nulb there was this shop near the brothel, right?
Any other places?

Heya:

Burne in Hommlett has bunches of scrolls for sale and can scribe more for Spugnoir if he joins your group. Hey, Sorcerors can scribe scrolls as long as they take the feat, right? Another option for Spugnoir, then.

Question: I don't remember, is it possible to see Spugnoir's Spellcraft skill? That's what is used to determine if he can successfully scribe the scrolls he find (or is given and told to scribe) right?

Take care,
Dreeble

 

[Thanee]

Ah, right... will check out Burne then!

I think you can see the Skills and Feats with those icons above the inventory.

I posted to this thread waaaaaaaaay back in the beginning. That said, my initial enthusiasm for this game has faded in the face of numerous bugs. Troika plans to have a patch out by Oct. 23rd. I think I'll take a temporary hiatus from the game till then . . .
