no comments on my post... :(

Last I checked: One of nature DOES NOT resist the Grab and Overwhelm effect of Ogre and blight wolves.

One thing I have discovered when testing my Bloodmage/ BM/Keeper build (on Anders), is that he's too "squishy". Without using the right killer spell combinations ...

Arcane Warrior Specializations - AW/Keeper build?

There's been a long and heated discussion on how to play an AW. But there are very few mentions of an AW/Keeper build (I saw only one post online, without a conclusive answer). So here I shall reopen the topic and welcome any suggestion or comments. I shall discuss the build, and possibly also the ...

Gosh.. if I have 2 One shots then the game would be totally unbalanced..90 damage is more than enough to disrupt enemy spell casting (the bigby's...the range is ridiculous) before hiding back into shadows. The trick is to stay as far as I can, sneak attack, run, one shot, hide. Even so I still have ...

"(..In fact because of this it's a good way to get a concealment bonus (50%) for "free" even if they can target you (..because of Spot or Listen or Sniff). If you have regen equipment on you just hide and make sure your character doesn't start attacking. )"

Great. :) Now with the picture you've drawn I think I have everything planned out.
-My net concentration will be in the low 20's, with Listen and Spot maxed.
-You said invisibility purge will be break the rougue's instant sneak attacks. Do see invibility, blind sight, and True Seing have the ...

Thanks for the comments, but let's set the context:

First of all, the build is designed for PvP, or else spot and listen skills doesn't make too much sense.

Secondly, you seem to imply that Listen is better than Spot -> it's better to sacrifice Spot for concentration, than to sacrifice Listen. But ...

Thanks for the heads up...yea, I figured that bumping spot to max may be a waste for an anti-stealth character. Since I get amplify so cheap, and listening is enough for anti-stealth (both checks must be passed to remain stealthy). Since my listening skill should be pretty high anyways, it might be ...

Hi, long time no see. The part where your build "shines", is that it has high Strengh (hence a low possbility of being bull-rushed by mages at the start of battle) and all the benefits that come along, and preserves a "stealty" character.

I can't offer any useful suggestions to your half-way ...

Need HELP on Bard spell/feat selection

I'm half way through a stealth/anti-stealth build, designed for PvP, with only 8 bard levels: Bard 8/ Fighter 12/AA 9/ SD 1. Drow: STR: 14, DEX 18->28 (to get One Shot), CON: 12, INT: 16, WIS: 8, CHA: 14. Spot, Listen, Move Silently, Hide are maxed, Concentration and Tumble are aimed at 30. The rest ...

I think red wizard levels only help with caster level on the specialized school, and improve overall spell DC. Check this:

Red Wizard of Thay - NWN2Wiki, the Neverwinter Nights 2 wiki - Races, classes, skills, and more

The information is inside, but I can't open it now for some reason.

So for ...

Aha, it worked. I changed my influence with OoM from 100 to 51, gained the feat, and then from 51 back to 100, gained the greater version of the feat.

It happens to be that I must accept the "negative aura" when my influence is 51-74, before accepting the "greater negative aura". I can't get both ...

OoM has the Greater negative aura automatically listed in its "history feats" (I assume the benefits are included), but I don't have the equivalent feats (nor the benefits).

It must be a bug that assumes that I turned down OoM's offer after I spoke to it (once) about becoming the warlock. Now it ...

One of Many influence bug? (spoilers)

I read in the MotB walkthrough that my PC is supposed to get the Greater Negative Aura from One of Many after talking to him once his influence hits 75. I'm 84 with him now, and talking doesn't yield anything, other than him telling me that when the time is right he will answer my questions so on so ...

I will take Orb of Acid and dump Icestorm (I kind of miss this no-save evocation spell).

I won't regret not taking polar ray though. It's evocation, and it's average damage is lower than a maxed IGMS. I took protection from spells ...

I never felt the need to use Assay in any given situation yet...

Highest SR is 41, MD lowers it to 31. My CastLev. is 28. I miss 10% without Assay. Duh....

Orbs are good. But I still consider Lesser Issacs more reliable. Concealment is common and it doesn't appear to be dispelled by MD. Epic dodge ...

Enervation DOES stack. After 9 castings of maximized Enervation on a Orglash, it finally dropped dead. Negative levels lower saves and BAB, but don't seem to lower hit ...

Energy Drain is a joke. I was wondering why game developers consistantly put this "worst utility for price" spell in BGII , NWN, and NWN2.
