Since a lot of the big bad boss type enemies are immune to backstab, having her just try to dispel with that could be fairly useful. The game has only been out for 3 days, "Let's wrestle" "Okay" "You're hot" "So are you" "Next time, we should wrestle naked" "Okay". She also has a couple of offensive abilities including Domination and a weak summons. Not sure about CHARNAME yet, considering Cleric/Illusionist. Turns out Haxxet figures out and slaps Dorn, who in turn stomps Haxxet and there is nothing my female character can do about it because well she is not male so how could she take on Dorn to protect Haxxet? So, this is the first time I've played the EE version of BG2 and I've triggered the Hexxat romance. To recruit Hexxat, you'll need to complete the quest given by Hexxat (aka Clara) in the Copper Coronet in the Slums District.

Can I romance her as a male character regardless by using the girdle of feminity to trigger it or something, or are is the romance totally based on female-female?Come on this has to be a fucking joke I already pictured my neutral-evil war mage travelling around with Hexxat and his other friends and this just ruined it man. That, and her special abilities make her really good. Bring Clara to Graveyard District. When you return him to his friends, he will be captured again. This is more of a gimmick than anything else, so replace it with the Army Scythe that Bernard sells; Jan can even steal it. Especially if you give her a pip in something better than shortsword. Jan is a versatile utility character who comes fully equipped for the role. Also, his defence is compromised by using two-handed weapons and his HP are lacking. Both lead to Phreya and Korkorran. You may want to give him points in axes for the Azuredge and, assuming your long time goal is to have him wielding Carsomyr, points in Two-Handed Weapon Style.

In the room beyond is a chevron-shaped trap (x=750, y=1220), behind which lurks a Bloated Spider, plus a chatty, hand-hungry face over at (x=650, y=800). By virtue of his specialisation and Family Amulet, Edwin is the best spellcaster you can recruit simply because of the amount of magic he can cast - two more spells of each level per day than Imoen, for example. Sheis quite open to flattery, and you can: With the Shroud of the Unproved and no hostiles around, Hexxat will prompt you to leave, which you may postpone, as usual. If you want an evil fighter-type who revels in carnage, stick with Korgan. You have two ways to build him if you're going to use him past level 12: you can either have him switch to Flails for the Flail of Ages or take Maces to Mastery and beyond. Taking back the Piece of Silk will not reactivate these traps, so read on to see what they do before making that decision. Rasaad can wear the Big Metal Unit and it will give him absurdly low AC if he does so (it will also make him look like an Iron Golem so that may create doorway difficulties).

Hexxat was a vampire from Mezro who worked as an agent for a powerful and mysterious individual. Wilson is a bear and doesn't care overmuch. RecruitmentMazzy is a prisoner in the Temple Ruins. Unlike most companions, Jan comes fully equipped with skill boosting gear and an excellent suit of armour that you may never change (since damage resistance is eventually more useful than AC). However, short swords are one of the less effective weapon categories in the game so you may want to wean him off them and into long swords, for example.

He has two particular problems. Thief skills: OL: 65, FT: 100, PP: 25, MS: 60, HS: 50, ST: 35. The following characters benefit most from the Strength boost: Jaheira, Valygar, Viconia, Aerie.

I got into this game for hexxat and her romance so this means a lot to me. You'll have to kick out potentially more useful members to bring him into the party. If you dismiss him from your party, he will go to his home in the Slums District and you will find him downstairs. Open any sarcophagi nearby to awake five angry Greater Mummies to deal with, the middle sarcophagi (x=2100, y=1420) has The Jade Fang dagger. Behind it you will find a necrotic barrier that only hexxat may pass, so go ahead and split the party. Inc. All Rights Reserved. I never used Hexxat before (I know about her condition) but a single class thief without any kit seems horrible. Too much to keep track of and it's not like I'd lack arcane power with Edwin in my party. With Hexxat in your party, go to The Zephir in Amkethran to meet up with Cabrina. RecruitmentEdwin is in Mae'Var's Guildhall in the Docks District. Axes are an OK proficiency and you'll acquire the best axes that can be acquired (until the expansion at least) very early on. The Big Metal Unit is a type of armour you can eventually create that is created from the Golden Pantaloons (imported from BGEE), the Silver Pantaloons (found in SoA), and the Bronze Pantalettes.
