Weapons and Classes

Would it be wrong for me to post and ask for what I missed to be filled in?

I would like to figure out exactly what classes can use what weapons. Should be common sense, but I cant be bothered to roll 16 new chars just to type skill. I wont ask about the qclasses of course.

If its ok ill go ahead and post what I (think) I know, and kindly ask for the rest to be filled in by those who do know.

So..seems there are no objections. God I feel like such a noob with this post

What race?

I think illithids get the skills, they just cant wield the weapons...I mean what would be the point of an inherent parry if they have no understanding of any weapon at all?

They don't have the skills.

I thought it was weird myself when I wrote it.

Then I realized I was looking at a squid.

I thought Necros could wield weapons... just not illithid necros... perhaps I'm wrong though... shrugs

Non-illithid Necros can wield weapons and also get a very cool spell for their weapons.

Yeah, thats why i knew something was wrong. I remember not practicing that spell on my illithid.

cough

This also explains why my illithid never parried anything. Maybe they should get inherent dodge instead. Or even better (since it is tentacle based) give the illithid tentacles that sacrifice themselves so save the illithid. Sorta like a parry but instead of getting hurt the illithids tentacle will be cut off, then he can regrow them. Maybe give the illithid one tentacle per 10 ranks and have them regen every 2 ticks or something.

so..you can parry one attack every 2 ticks?

Who needs parry when you have up to 5 "things" jumping in front of you like the Secret Service?

not at pinn, theyd have 5 tentacles. Maybe they would take a few hits to chop off...The balance would be up to the coders, im just thinking that parry doesnt work much when being attacked with a weapon you dont know. So why do illithids even have parry if they know no weapons?

Looking over your answers chayesh. Im thinking Monks also learn about polearms, and maybe even maces. Anyone to confirm?

That list comes from actual viewing of characters in game.
