Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance/Adrianna

Background
A strikingly beautiful female elf with exotic features, the elven sorceress can create magic the way a poet creates poems, by drawing on the raw power within herself... and unleashing it with devastating effects. The Sorceress has the ability to cast spells (an ability unavailable to the others) and she has a number of specialized metamagic feats and spells available to her as she advances in level. Unlike the other characters, however, the Sorceress cannot use weapons that require more than one hand, such as two-handed swords and two-handed axes.

Tips and Strategies in using the Elven Sorceress
This is the only woman available to play as in this game. If you decide to play as Adrianna, the first thing you really need to upgrade is her HP and defense so she won't die so easily. You will also need powerful weapons, because her strength is weak, making it difficult to defeat enemies early in the game. Unlike the others, Adrianna is unable to wield two weapons at the same time. To be sure, the weapons you can't use is the hammers, axes and the great swords (except for the staff) but don't worry because there are plenty of other weapons that you can use to take don't hordes of monsters.

Her heavy weight is also limited, so you're going to need to recall to the safehouse to where the shopkeeper is depending on what act are you in. The reason you need to because once you reach the maximum weight, you're going to have to sell all these items that you don't need for the quest and not have to worry about how many items you need to carry throughout the game unless you're playing with two people. Until you reach another level, you'll still be able to carry more items depending on how far you get into the quest.

The sorceress' real strength is using magic. Any magic is perfect for her to use and is also great at long range when attacking an enemy. Because she doesn't really require physical defense and offense items, most of what you buy for her is cheaper than what you would purchase as one of the other characters. As far as expenses goes, Dwarven Fighter would get the most expensive items, Arcane Archer will have normal items but lucky for Elven Sorceress, she'll get the cheaper items.
