Skills points - Does it matter when I use them?

I am playing NWN for the first time, and intend to play a Barbarian/Cleric/Champion of Torm focusing on Conc/Disc/Taunt/Tumble. As the title states, does it matter when I spend my skill points? I am trying to see if there is some strategy for dumping points into class skills vs cross-class skills.

New APR cheese?

I don't have the game installed, so could someone test this out for me? I got this from Scythesong's guide on Blades from Sorcerer's Place. You Polymorph Self, than transform into a sword spider.

Woo, finally started playing, and I'm all patched up--this game is great, esp. now that I understand how the leveling system works. Peace Lore, thanks for all your tips. :mischief:

One different but related question.

If Sneak is a major skill with x3 multiplier for Agility, and Marksman is a miscellaneous skill leveled once for a x2 multiplier to Agility, is there now a x5 multiplier for Agility? Faqs I read seemed to suggest this, just wanted to check here.

Thanks for all your info Lored. Can you see any difference between having 50 speed and 100 speed when it comes to attacking speed, as with a long blade or axe for example? The others you explained well :) .

Explain the attributes...

I have some questions on specific ones:

Speed determines how fast I move? Does this just mean how fast I run, or does this also affect attack speed (or anything else?)? What do the personality and luck attributes do in the course of the game? Please don't give me the definitions from the game ...

EDIT: I understand now, you level endurance early because you don't have infinite levels (unless you exploit). Thus, you want to get it to 100 as soon as possible if you are powergaming :P , because all the levels you gain in others skills will give you 10% of your previous life.

Multipliers and Skill/Stat caps

I am too lazy to read every thread on stats/skills...

I want to max my stats my first time through this game. Is it possible without being anal about every level? I mean, if you only get the bare minimum multiplier (x2) every level, can you get a level 100 stat by playing/training long enough ...

Wow, very informative Lore, thank you. It seems that the best skills are not just what is planned to be used the most, but also provide the greatest return in attributes when leveling.

Just to make sure I understand, the only differences between one race with level 100 skills and another with ...

Races

Just got Morrowind for $2. Would someone please explain the races' starting skills? I read some FAQS, people write, "You don't want 2 Armor Skills" and stuff like that, but can't you level every skill to 100? Are these racial skills just bonuses to help you level your skills faster in the early game ...

The best longsword in SoA is Blackrazor for its proc (chance to drain level/steal life/gain strength from one sword), which you get about 20 minutes before the end of the game.

Poor Berethor, let 'ol Grampy-bone help ye. Best level to dual kensai to mage is level 13, level 9 is just a mage with more hit points. 13 you get a THACO of 1 and +2 to saves. You are right, you can not dual at level 2 because you start the game at level 7. In order to duel to a mage from a kensai ...
