Neverwinter Nights Reloaded

Yep, i used that to zap open chests, but you have to be a wiz or sorc.

ACK!

[Harovan]

This wand you get only if you are an INT caster in level 1. The build in question does have a sorceror level indeed, but I don't know when it was added.

[Qilue]

What I'm about to suggest is really munchkin character building if your ultimate goal is a rogue/AA. Start with a level of rogue and get to level 2 in the prelude and take wizard. Export your character and restart the prelude as a level 2 rogue/wizard and get the wand, then take rogue levels until your ready to switch to AA.

This way, you get the starting x4 rogue skill points and the unlimited wand.

[Harovan]

Possible, but 1) that smells like cheating, and 2) it's not a good idea to base a character build on items found in a specific campaign.

But that aside, I once built a rogue/bard/AA, and that combination rocked, with quite some rogue skills (hide, move silently, search, disarm and unlock) developed pretty high, a nice bardic song for yourself and your allies, and three fireball arrows per day.

[Qilue]

I define cheating as using non-game resources to boost a character (non-game being editors or the console). What I described above I define as exploitation as it uses the game system.

[Harovan]

Ok, that's a question of definition. I give this point to you, it's not a cheat, but an exploit. But how ever we finally call it, it's not a "normally developed" character, that was my point. Although, opportunities in this game are rich and everything providing fun is allowed.

[Dis]

yeah you are exploiting the knowledge of the game.

Woo hoo!
Despite having taken a day off work (so no lunchtime posting), here I am at 'poly!
I've just had my third interview in a week, and since I've got school tonight at 6, I've come to the university to finally get my log-in sorted out. So, er, here I am at an odd time.

I played some more of the Neverwinter Wood this morning, and have only the cave and the altar to do now. I managed to pick up a random knock spell in a chest, but I haven't been bothered to go all the way back down to the Creator Ruins to find out what was in that chest. The cheapest bow I could find was a +1 composite shortbow, but since I've nearly got 40k now, I wasn't too bothered. I'm not selling any more elemental arrows I find now though. The witch's cave was quite good fun, and those invisible stalkers are nice, but they could have been so much better with better AI - running away from you when you hit them to exploit their invisibility and hit you again/force you to use a potion of clarity. Still, all good fun.
I still find dire bears quite tough, but maybe that's just because I'm a weakling. Tomi's only got 2 less HP than I do, and he's a level below me.

Clarity is against mind affecting spells and doesn't affect your vision. What you want is "see invisible"; it is not available as potion, only as spell or scroll.

Aha! Oops.

I'd be a hell of a lot better if I liked .pdf manuals.
And if my manual for HotU wasn't in Thai.

[Dis]

learn to read Thai then

[duke o' york]

That is one option, certainly.

But I've got some canine friends who may be able to help me with this one.

[DrSpike]

Getting a true seeing item is tough, I don't recall one in the OC. Still, there aren't many invisible foes.

[duke o' york]

How am I supposed to know that? I can't bloody see them!

[DrSpike]

Well there might be lots I guess. There aren't many that attack you though.
