just playing through it for the first time, and I’m admittedly retarded, but how do I dump party members?
there are no dialogue options like ‘wait here’, and I see a ‘reform party’ button on the character screen, but it’s grayed out and unclickable.
I could swap a member out for that modron, but then I think I’d lose them.
while I’m asking, is there any story reason to keep the succubus or ignus over the modron (no spoilers, plz)?
edit: oops – sry if I got the wrong forum on this one.
Click on “Reform Party” on the Nameless One’s profile, then select the member you want and remove them.
Just like Grace says, get whatever you can out of Ignus and then dump his sorry ass, he’s more trouble than it’s worth. Nordom, other than making an awesome fighter after his upgrades and with Optix equipped, also happens to be just adorable.
Grace is the only healer in the game, very smart and a great help solving quite a lot of shit. She’s also very interesting.
nevermind – I got it.
thx for the advice, I could definitely use it on who to keep.
I guess you can’t use the reform party in the modron maze — I just tried again in a flophouse and it lets me now.
in a way I’ve been kind of waiting for ignus to go psycho so I can beat his ass down.
also, I sort of accidentally leveled up to 7 as fighter before switching to mage and think maybe I didn’t ever use my weapon proficiency slots.
can I use those w/o training back as a fighter?
You should NEVER reform your party or leave anything of value inside the maze. Ask the Modron Engineer and he’ll tell you why.
Just trust me, there’s absolutely nothing to gain from bringing Ignus with you. He does absolutely nothing for you. Which I guess is a bit better than the OTHER douchebag you’ll eventually run into as you travel who actively manages to fuck up your shit, except that one’s at least a bit more amusing and fun to screw with, particularily if you’ve got high INT and WIS.
About the proficiency: No. But you can just ask Dak’kon to make you a fighter, find a master to train you in whatever weapon you want (I suggest Edged) and then have Dak switch you back to mage. With Dak’kon and Annah in the party you can change classes at will.
oh, ok — so I just pick right up at the xp level I left off at?
that’s more good advice – thx.
I seem to have lost optix, unfortunately.
isn’t that the unidentified scope you get at the curio shop?
seems to have disappeared from my party, and I’ve been checking shops everywhere to see if I sold it and forgot.
that’s not like me to sell it, though, unless I was really hard up for cash.
know of any way to edit items into the game?
edit: oh, maybe those were the beer goggles.
I know I saw that thing at some point in the game, though.
must’ve been in a segment that never got saved.
more edits…sonofa…just looked it up on this awesome site.
I lost a big chunk of the modron maze when my game crashed and I had to reload.
Man, that fucking Modron Maze. Mapped the whole fucker out by hand >:(
Optix is a random drop from the maze constructs. Actually, the Lens of Seeing Double are probably better in terms of damage, but those mess up his accuracy,
You should finish the game multiple times, because it’s just that awesome. I finished with Ignus the first time, and despite some complications at the end of the game I found it quite rewarding. Falls-From-Grace is pretty much absolutely necessary, though.
I rarely found an absolute need for a healer - The Nameless One took the brunt of most damage even as a mage (And those were averted with Mirror Image/Blur), and I usually had his Con high enough to regenerate as I zipped through Sigil. It is highly convenient that Fall-From-Grace does heal you without having to give her specific instructions to do so.
Maybe I just was lucky enough to get through most combat without getting that beat up… I usually go with Nordom instead of Ignus/Mister Overzealous with Axe, abusing whatever you get out of the two and then dump 'em.
Oh, it isn’t to heal the Nameless One. It’s more to heal Da’akon and whoever else you decide to bring with you.
Chosing a party based on combat efficiency over simple plot/characterization relevance is a bad policy in PS:T given how horrendously broken the game is. Dak’kon in particular, once upgraded and given a couple spells (Improved Strength, Balance in All Things, Enoll Eva’s Duplication), becomes an ungodly meatshredder. That is, of course, without counting the many ways of making the Nameless One literally immortal.
Or you can just cast Bladestorm. That spell just wipes out anything that so much as looks at you ugly.
yeah, me too – just did that monday.
I wandered around a lot, killed the wizard, then found out about nordom after I had reset it, so I went back in and wandered until I broke down and mapped it.
finally found nordom in the very last room…
on some advice, I made my guy a mage w/20+ int/cha/wis , but find that annah, morte, and the gith are a pretty asskicking frontline.
Hey, since we’re talking planescape, I wanna play it again, but have some questions too:
I’ve beat the game before playing the Lawful Good guy until the very end and got the best ending. Is it worth replaying it as a Chaotic Evil character and joining Anarchists/Chaosmen/some other chaotic faction that I don’t remember? Is there any big change if you act evil all the way? Can you still get the best stuff/ending? I was under the impression the game kinda suggests that you play the good guy, as you gets loads of experience by doing so.
Last but not least: Is there any purpose being kind to Annah or Fall-from-Grace aside from the extra dialogue?
Sadly, the game is vastly biased against any other alingment besides LG. Being evil just doesn’t seem to have any real benefit.
Second: No, not really. Especially with Grace, nothing ever happens with her.
By the way, look up Qwinn’s patches for the game. They solve a great amount of shit and have some very neat add-ons.
Well, for the girls, not really, if you really want to piss Annah off, sell her off to slavery. It’s also one of the things you must do to get some stuff out of an evil tome that requires sacrifices in the form of evil deeds.
If you’re being a really evil jerk, you can get the Celestial Fire from Trias as well. Some weapons also aren’t usable by evil characters 
Dak’kon’s blade gets more damage if you act like he was your slave, sacrificing AC bonuses and extra spells. (I think it’s called the streaming blade if you treat him well, chained blade if you’re being so-so and Kinstealer if you’re being a slaver.)
And to up the acting like an arse factor, some things become real once to lie about them often enough. (“My name is Adahn.”) And acting all chaotic also makes some really hilarious responses from NPCs.
Celestial Fire is only usable by Lawful Good characters though, and getting him killed is not an evil option. As a matter of fact, if you bring Vhailor with you and redeem Trias, ole´Judge Dred wannabe will go ahead and kill him anyway. This gets you the weapon, the Celestial Host spell and unlocks BOTH the Redeemer and Betrayer tattoos from Fell. It leaves a bad aftertaste, but gameplay-wise, it’s the perfect option.
The Kinstealer is not worth the trouble. Without the patch, you’d need to know exactly where all the morale-lessening options are and trigger all of them in rapid succesion shortly before getting the last weapon upgrade. WITH the patch, not only is the Streaming Blade leagues better, you’d need to do all that AND leave completion of the Unbroken Circle until after Level 10, since that boosts his morale to the maximum.
To quote Mr. AVGN: ASS! >:( Next time, Gadget. Next time…
I wouldn’t say that telling people your name is Adahn qualifies as arse factor, even with the eventual consequences. Awesome consequences.
how do you guys feel about autorun — is it a cheat/exploit?
I’m at curst, now, and was monkeying w/some settings when I noticed there was autorun, which would normally rock, but really makes fairly easy combat incredibly no-brainer easy.
I may have to turn it off, but then it’ll feel like I’m in molasses.
