Can anyone help with this problem

[ll1728]

Im having a problem with starting out. Is there any other way of getting the stats or character as your main character predestined to say a starting class i prefer. I want to use a class but i keep having problems with getting the one i want.

What i would like to know is if there is a mod or something that can allow you to pick your class?

Edit-Oh yeah and do the characters just follow a set way about their stats, or does leveling up work like quest where you get to assign stats. Ive yet to lvl up but im still a little lost, i read the review with info but is there a pdf with each classes strengths and weaknesses?

Thanks,

Hi Dave - it's great to see somebody still plays with this classic. : )

You get a new character every time you start a new game. It's a random character from a collection, so try to start a new game many times until you find your favorite class. And of course when you arrive to inns, you can replace him/her and/or hire new characters from the class you need. (The characters at the inns are randomly changing from time to time too.)

As far as I remember the leveling up works like in The Quest so you can spend your bonus points to anything you want.

I hope you read this review because it's full of info about getting started:

Thanks for that info.

I found the pdf which talks about party management. I am a little unsure as to what the difference is between the fighters however. In the pdf, it says you should never use the highlander or adventurer as they are useless and that you have to have 2 mages in the back. Is that pdf a powergamer's way of playing or is that the norm because frankly i was going to use a highlander and or adventurer.

I just want to know what in reality is different from the classes of fighters. If you can explain that, id be very grateful as i want to know who to team up with my adventurer.

Use the classes you want, don't care about what that document says, it's just a review, a personal view of one of Legacy's betatesters.

As for the classes, here is what I found in one of our document about the game:

"The game has seven different character classes, most of them have advantages and disadvantages. Increasing the prominent attributes are recommended.
1. Adventurer: a balanced class, with no special advantages - but no disadvantages. This class can advance the easiest. No prominent attributes.
2. Knight: can wear and take advantage of shields, heavy armors and heavy weapons (mostly blades), and can cast some cure spells. Prominent attributes: strength, endurance.
3. Highlander: tough character, with large endurance and strength. Excells with heavy weapons. Prominent attributes: strength, endurance.
4. Swordmaster: excellent fighter when armed with swords, sabres and battle swords, but unskilled in using heavy weapons and in wearing heavy armors. Prominent attribute: dexterity.
5. Mage: feeble character who is very unskilled in using armors, weapons and shields, but can cast any kind of spells. This class can advance the hardest. Prominent attribute: intelligence.
6. Cleric: somewhat stronger than the mage, can use light weapons, armors, and skilled in using maces and hammers. Can cast party and cure spells. Prominent attributes: intelligence, endurance.
7. Battlemage: somewhat stronger than the mage, can use light weapons, armors and weapons, but can cast only curse and attack spells. Prominent attribute: intelligence."

I hope it helps. : ) So the prominent attributes are the real difference. Of course different weapons and items needs different attributes to use them effectively. For example, if you want to wear/use a heavy armor/weapon with a mage class you can wield it with a penalty so it's not recommended to do that. : )
