Dragons blood is good for the blacksmith, the other reagents aren't. But in Eltoora's lab (Many-starred cloak) in chapter 2 and 3 you can craft some magical items out of the other reagents. But you don't need more than, say 2 or 3 of each.

[Jamski]

Diamonds, ironwood, fariry dust are good for the blacksmith too. Oh, and gargoyle skulls.

But you'll need a +1 weapon of the right type as well. Off the top of y head, the diamond goes well with a Scimitar or Katana.

And the broadsword. I made one of them, buying a diamond back at around 1000 gold. The improved sword didn't quite pay for that kind of investment.

But at least I have a nifty backup weapon.

On the question of whether a rogue's sneak attack and an assassin's death strike stacks,

I can testify that it does

[Jamski]

The +2 scimatar with the extra +1d6 fire damage is worth using the diamond for. Its sweet

Extra fire/cold/acid/sonic/electric damage is great because you can use it to smash down doors and locked chests with ease. They only resist physical damage.

[Skanky Burns]

That is what my henchman is good for though.

[Jamski]

Wait till you get boots of speed. Then you'll want to disintigrate the damm henchman

Lol, I should have added "of those he listed", to be clear. To be complete Special Holy Water and Adamantite should be mentioned as well.

[Skanky Burns]

Why is that Jam? If my guess is right, your problem is because the henchman is too slow running and catching up to you. In my experience, if you get too far away from them they just teleport back near you.

[Jamski]

No - you always reach combat first is the problem. You want the big ugly half orc to be their first, so YOU are the second attacker (and can make sneak attacks)

On the other hand, BoS are GREAT if you have a rogue henchman and you are the main fighter.

I had a complete list somewhere of all the stuff the smiths could make... I'll have to try and find it again...

-Jam

[Harovan]

Boots of Speed are always good, because besides increasing mobility they add attacks per round and a +4 AC.

[Jamski]

(Although in the PHB they should only increase speed. NWN just makes them apply Haste as a permanant effect)

*duke is amazed at the extent of Jamski's geeky knowledge*

[Jamski]

No - be amazed at the depth. The extent is VERY small
