Get a dragon mount like the master quest chap? Clearly they are modelled so it seems strange not to get one. Also Would I be right in assuming that blood curse + paragon has incredible exploit potential ? :)
they already are - shields making the difference - leather armour + tower shield gives fair damage absorption
My warrior sovereign soled practically the whole game, but then one of the first drops was a 20 att lance :) At the end he had a club with att 45 and 50% splash to add to the 25% from the belt and the 50% from the tree itself. basically he'd wipe out hordes of troops every attack
Any high level assasin with that maul horn can instakill anything. Mine did the master quest in a single turn :)
