    I just picked up demon souls and I would like to know if it is possible to emulate my preferred build from dark souls in demon souls and if so the best way.
    Sage Knight
    Black Iron Battle Mage
    These are the two loadouts I normally use on the build. I guess my play style would normally be battle mage with mid and close range casting combined with melee.

    It's definitely possible, but I'd advise you to forget about builds if this is your first time, just enjoy the game your first playthrough. silly

    I guess Ill do that. Just started a knight because it looked like it had the most even stat allocation at the start.

    Cool I'll have to keep an eye out for that gear. Still messing about with the dragon on the bridge in the boletarian palace. Haven't level up yet so after this I guess Ill look into how I'm going to lay my stats down for the first few levels.

    Edit: oh yeah I forgot this game had gender specific stuff. I made a female character. Will that come back and bite me on gear?

    Pick the classes with the lowest Luck stat, like Temple Knight, Priest and Royalty.

    I think the Theif is a good class, and she starts with the sexiest outfit. ❤ I liked the Demons' Souls version of Black Leather better.

    Honestly, I prefer females. They can were the silver bracelets. They go on the hands and increase the amount of souls gained. Female clothing is also lighter then male clothing, but less protective.

    Keep an eye out for an outfit called Rouge Armor. It's my favorite. It's lightweight and has high magic defense. It's female only.

    Well this is my first character so I can learn a few tricks. Might do a male royal next. It took me 3 runs before I figured out what I liked in dark souls so it could take a few in this as well. As of right now though I miss my magic sad

    ^ The royal is good. It starts with soul arrow and fragrant ring. It can make the first area a little easier.

    Find the guy who'll likely call you a brute. I won't spoil it for you, but it's an indication as to what you have to do to get him to talk. silly

    Ok so intelligence is like attunement? If that is the case and I only want 4 slots I would just need to go up to 24?

    This is how I would do your Battle Mage. Since you picked the knight class I think it will turn out very good.

    Increase your stats EXACTLY as I have them here. Att = Int, Int = Mag, Res = Luck (don't increase it):

    http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=198807737559286553

    Equipment:

    -Large Sword of Moonlight
    -Baby's Nail
    -Dark Silver Shield
    -Talisman of Beasts
    -Any armor combo that lets you have less than 50% equipload for fast roll.

    Rings:

    -Phantom: Friend's/Foe's Ring and Cling Ring
    -Host: Ring of Magical Sharpness and the Cloranthy Ring equivalent (forgot)

    Spells:

    -Homing Soulmass
    -Soul Ray
    -Warding
    -Second Chance
    -Wrath of Gods

    This is an interesting build which uses max AR from the MLGS through Faith and at the same time it has powerful defensive spells. Use Warding when Second Chance fades. Use Baby's Nail to inflict toxic status on most builds with 5 hits spam.

    This could be interesting. I have go to start finding stuff so I can make build work. Can you transfer things like in darksouls using another player? If you can that would make every build after this a cake walk.

    Yeah you can. Also if you wanna use Combustion (bit slower than in DkS though), increase Int to 24 and lower Faith to 30. You will have 1 unused Faith slot because Second Chance takes 2 slots. Attune any miracle you would like but they aren't as useful as magic. I recommend Resurrection for the lulz.

    Yeah lol. Miracles are too slow for PvP, and most of them are self buffs. Once you cast Second Chance you won't be able to use the useful ones, like Regeneration.

    Well Im working my way through ok. the bosses so far have been a joke, big knight guy and a giant spider. the only things that have really killed me are the squid guys in latria. Im about to go after large sharp stone, just have to find the guy in the second part of that mine. then I can upgrade bastard sword and winged spear. I still have complete trash armor, thats the next goal.
