Ring of the Wood Elves

In the Chapter 1 finale, there is a young boy in the storeroom with a surprising amount of magical items for sale. One item is a ring of the Wood Elves. Its description is that it was once owned by Aribeth.

Its attribute is spell resistance, but I can't recall the level ...

At the end of the Chapter 2 finale in Luskan, I went to purchase the Greater Belt of the Archer before moving on to Chapter 3. I had already cleaned out the Arcane Brotherhood's tower and needed only to meet with Aarin Gend before moving on.

Oddly enough, I could not purchase any additional ...

In Charpter 2, I picked up the Greater Swordsman Belt and the Greater Brawler's Belt. Each absorbs up to 20 points of damage per hit depending upon type, slashing and bludgeoning repsectively. I passed on the Archer's Belt, given that I hadn't faced too much piercing damage thus far, and the ...

With the plan of moving onto SofU after finishing NWN, I purchased and reviewed the additional manual.

Certain Feats and Character Classes require specific feats. An example might be the Shadowdancer needing Dodge and Mobility, among other things.

Had I known this info, I would have made ...

Feats & Levels

It's odd to me that the description of when feats are acquired and when bonus attribute points are acquired are in very different sections of the manual. I find it helpful, approaching a certain Level (say 12), to know at the glance at a chart whether an attribute, a feat, or both ...

The Phylactery

I tried the "keeping the Phylactery" approach.

It freed everyone, including the Demon (who cackled a bit after he left).

The item allows the bearer to to cast two Sanctuary spells a day. All that fuss over an item that lets someone cast two 1st Level Cleric spells? I think ...

I'm not real thrilled with the options available as Judge in castle Jhareg. Finding both brothers guilty is not an option.

If a confession is obtained from the demon (at the expense of a valuable magical item), the only way to judge the demon is to find both brothers innocent. Not only is that ...

Found a few trolls remaining. Still as a L11 character, tried all the combinations.

Interestingly, regardless of whether henchman, familiar or summoned creature, adding one companion to the party dropped the XP from 19 to 15. Adding a second dropped the XP to 12, adding all three dropped to 11 ...

Henchman Levelling Up

Whacked the same Troll a few times. I'm a L11 character.

On my own, 19 XP per troll.
w/Daelan at L8, 15 XP
w/Daelan at L10, 15 XP
w/Daelan, familiar and summoned creature, 11 XP

It would appear that the level of the Henchman has no effect on the XP penalty.

It ...

In Chapter 2, at Level 9, Grimgnaw basically mows through opponents before my character even has a chance to engage them. While impressive to watch, it doesn't make for a very interesting or challenging game. So, I primarily solo, unless it's a boss monster that I can't devise a strategy to defeat ...

Thanks for the feedback!

All is well with the world, Mage armor spell learned.

It is a good point that only a couple of levels of Wizard may not be the best allocation of levels.

It's always bittersweet to read the FAQs and advice half-way through a game and think back as to what you ...

Mage Spells/Multiclass with Monk

I've planned to add two to three levels of Wizard to my Monk since character creation, allocating ability scores appropriately.

My goal would be to allow the character to cast Mage Armor upon himself prior to difficult battles. If I take 3 levels of Wizard ...
