Crafting itens

And a mage can do it with her bare fist.

But watch out for those multiple long-reach troll AoO's. They will put you on your face FAST!

 

Yeah, I like to get them all prone, sometimes seeing how much subduel damage I can do to one, then CDG them all at once. I like to think I cut their heads off.

 

My first time through the game i did the same thing - then found the cdg option

I think its more of a hangover from playing too much baldur's gate (must keep fire/acid spell ready, just in case)

 

Yeah, I brought that idea over from Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, too. I'll still back off from a group of downed trolls and fireball them, then send in a wimp to CDG the leftovers.

 

I knew of CDG before and used it quite effectively, just never on Trolls.

I was still of the old school PnP and later BG, IWD thinking when it came down to finishing off trolls. Nice to know I wasn't alone. :roll:

 

On a whim, tried cdg on a troll in vanilla. It worked. After that, I stopped avoiding multiple troll encounters. :thumbsup:

 

Dude, I go looking for multiple Troll encounters in the mid-levels they give so much experience. Once your arcane caster gets Web they are history: make certain everyone in your party has Longspears, Glaives, and/or missile weapons to stay out of reach, give Lareth's Ring of Free Action to someone with Spring Attack, and it's all over except the dyin'.

By the way, has anyone ever tried creating a Ring of False Life, a la DDO? Would that be always on, like a Ring of Protection, or would it have to be activated?
