Player's Choice Video Games. Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor (PC)

The book Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor has the basic linear plot of this computer role playing adventure game which uses Advanced Dungeons and Dragons third edition rules. The AD&D third edition simplifies the rules quite a bit. Gone are the racial limitations on levels. All character races can attain high levels in their chosen classes in this third edition. Multi- and dual- classing have been combined into one multi-class model where you can have as many as four classes for any character. The game allows you to go up 32 levels so that you can be level 16 in one class and 16 in another. The maximum level in each class is 16. These multiple classes are an important factor in the game. Picking compatible classes can be very important. Pick compatible classes, such as ranger/rogues, rogue/sorcerers, fighter/clerics, paladin/monks, monk/rogues, and monk/sorcerers. This list of two classed characters has no armor restrictions like other class combinations might have. Character Creation and Non Player Characters (NPC) who can join the party Kestral starts with 12 Strength, 17 dexterity, 11 constitution, 14 intelligence, 11 wisdom and 8 charisma. You can multiclass Kestral to a sorcerer or a ranger or you can multiclass Ghleanna Stormlake (8 strength, 13 dexterity, 13 constitution, 13 intelligence, 9 wisdom and 17 charisma) to a rogue. Ghleanna is a better wizard than Jarial (11 strength, 12 intelligence, 8 wisdom, 16 dexterity, 14 constitution and 17 charisma) who is the first NPC to join the party. There are eight non-player characters you can find in the game who can join your party: Athan, Bronwyn, Eadred, Emmeric, Faeril, Jarial, Kellan, and Tudo. You can replace any party character with another of these eight non-player characters. Your entire party could be people you find in the dungeon if you so desire.

Featuring new character classes and races, such as Barbarians, Monks, Paladins, and Half-Orcs
