Neverwinter nights-revisited

If you mean the ring from the soul-creature-thing, then you're assumed to have gotten it between the two modules somewhere.

Its an odd device, that's for sure.

Ah, yes that one! I need to play this game again soon... I´m starting to forget stuff
I never used it, I tend to keep all kind of stuff for later use and always end up forgetting about them

Spoiler:

It was the thing used for "linking places" right?

hehe, the dead magic zone the first time, my wizard just sent Valen in to do all the dirty work. He had no trouble. Although I couldn't kill the big spidey at the end without first manipulating the ruin stone thingies.

The second time my cleric/dwarven defender struggled a little bit. But it was mostly just tedius. I wasn't using Valen, I was using the drow chick ( I found her to be pretty much useless).

[Jamski]

Since I was playing as a "tank" character with no spells, the chick was pretty handy. Valen was just more of the same, and I didn't want to share any EXP with him

I of course used Deekin.

Actually I started off not using Deekin as I didn't want to share the EXP . Plus I used him last game. So I only used 1 henchman.

But in Chapter 3 I couldn't use that Nathrrya chick as I betrayed the Seer this time around. She wasn't too happy with that and had to be put down. So I used Deekin and that other little lady you find frozen in a cave. I won't spoil it as I'm not sure if you've met her yet.

One interesting thing to note is your henchman level up even if you don't use them- like in KOTOR. I did not realize this.

You realise she's not who she says she is.

Or has she turned from an Elf into a Half Elf? That's a good trick.

I didn't even realize until someone over at the bioware forums mentioned it. I'm not sure what to think about that. Perhaps they just made a mistake

It was St. Georgen Bräu Kellerbier from the brewery across the street, together with a couple of "Williams Birne" pear spirits.

Warum in die Ferne schweifen, wenn das Gute liegt so nah?

Und woher kommt Williams Schnapps?

Looks a nice beer actually.

Anyway... NWN wasn't it?

Re: Miss "A" : Someone from Bioware claimed it was just an error, then he edited his post, trying to make it mysterious. But then another poster pointed out a whole series of other inconsistances, claiming it had to be on purpose. And Bioware/Atari have hinted at another NWN Exp Pack to come in the future... perhaps everything will be explained?

[Unspeakable Horror]

I never noticed!
Maybe it´s part of all that new content they mentioned

Although I couldn't kill the big spidey at the end without first manipulating the ruin stone thingies.

Aah! The Bebilith...
1st time: That **** thing destroyed my Robe of Vecna!
/me reloads...
2nd Time: Drow girl hides and goes to the other side, plays with the runes and everyone returns safely outside...

Ok I've been messing around with NWN this evening. I played the prologue to the original campaign to see the interface.

So I'll probably start on the SoU expansion since most people seem to prefer it. I need to choose a character, stats and skills. I am leaning towards a fighter/rogue, but am not really sure when to start taking the rogue levels. Also there are tonnes of feats and skills.........any I should make sure I include on my fighter to start?

START as a rogue! Get the bonus skill points right away. You don't even have to use them all and can save them for second level when you take fighter class.

ACK!

ok jsut bought the gold edition and the bonus 2nd expansion pack came with it... not bad for $80 i got the whole collectio n 2 expansions and the game.. jsut installed it last night and palyed for 4 hours straight pretty cool.... died a few times being too brave,,,,,


got as far as the prison and having great fun ..

oh i chose a boring old fighter as my character...

[Harovan]

Doc:

Fighter/Rogue is not a good mix, Ranger/Rogue would be better.

Reason: Fighters usually wear heavy armor, which gives penalties in the Rogue's skills. Fighters usually are strength based, while Rogues need dexterity. You could build a DEX based fighter, but a better choice would be a Ranger in this case. Rangers get double wield feats for free, although this works only with light armor. This isn't a big loss, because your dexterity will be your best armor. Since rangers also depend on dexterity, their skills coexist better with the rogue's.

The most powerful character I ever built for the OC was a Ranger/Rogue. In the end he had level 15/3. He went solo for virtually the whole game. Only on rare occasions he had to summon his familiar, the mighty bear. He was able to detect and disarm traps as well as craft and set traps (great fun if you get the trick). He was double-wielding rapiers and was absolutely deadly with them. In the end, he had 6 attacks per round (4 right hand, 2 left), was double wielding a Namarra Rapier +2 (50% Sleep DC-14) and a Mercykiller Blade +2 (Rapier with 1D6 fire vs evil) and killed dragons in the first run without buff.

If you're interested in build details, I can be more specific.

Yep, Rogues get masses of bonus Skill Points at first level only. I'd start almost every character with a level of Rogue - its quite possible to start with 60 skillpoints or something!!!

Ralph, the Fighter gets an extra feat every 2 levels. Your 15/3 build would have SEVEN more feats at those levels if it was a Fighter/Rogue build. Ok, then you can burn 3 of them on Ambidexterity, Two weapon fighting and Improved two weapon fighting, but still have an extra four feats more than the Ranger.

As for the armour issue, my 9/9/7 Fighter/Rogue/Weaponmaster has enough points in "use magic item" to wear Monk Robes That allows me to fully use my DEX of 32+
