So you're saying that once I get to the Abyssal Fortress I should go with the following?

CG - Stalker
CE - Sarevok
LG - Anomen
TN - Jaheira
CN - Jan
NG - Imoen

Do I have enough tanking power? I prefer melee over casters, but there are some pretty nasty fights in Ascension...
Between Jan and ...

@ serjeLeBlade - I'm sorry about not having much in the way of advice. It looks like you are using weapons and mods I am unfamiliar with so chances are you have the ability to get some weapons that are even better than those in the game! However, in Aerie's case if you don't have a good Quarterstaff ...

I agree about Keldorn and Sarevok being similar - however I feel Sarevok is essential from a plot perspective and for Keldorn I think his character is fantastic plus there are some serious paladin only items that are too good to pass up on. Since I am unwilling to play one myself Keldorn is the next ...

@ serjeLeBlade

Who are you using in your party? I could probably give you some ideas once you tell me who you have. I find some of the good weapons fit certain NPC's perfectly...

@ serjeLeBlade - Don't worry about the spoilers. I checked out the epilogues a long time ago, it's just the parts that get you there that I haven't experienced! Actually, I've completed all three through SoA, it's the interactions throughout ToB that I'm interested in. In terms of storyline in the ...

I plan on running a fairly balanced, traditional party through SoA that comprises of:

CG - PC Stalker
LG - Keldorn
LN - Anomen
TN - Jaheira
CN - Jan
NG - Imoen

However, once I hit the pocket plane I intend to pick up Sarevok for both the plot enhancement and the melee power. Which would give me ...

I know this subject has been extensively covered, but I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for, hence another question about NPC romances.
For those of you who have brought them to completion, what are your views on the romances for Aerie, Jaheira and Viconia for both SoA and/or ToB? Which ...

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

Best weapon for Aerie is the Staff of the Magi, coupled with the Robe of Vecna. Why? First, Aerie is a spell chucker, pure and simple. So all the benefits of the SotM are ideal for her - especially being consistently invisible. Since Aerie is often targeted due to her low HP ...

I would definitely recommend the 'Ascension' mod for ToB and the improved fights that accompany it. Check the BG Crossroads thread at the top for the link.
Also, if you haven't installed it already, get the latest Baldurdash fixpack for SoA and ToB. It's amazing how many bugs and glitches it ...

Yshania - Very true, that I do not dispute! However, the difference between being able to disable DC<25 as opposed to DC<35 seems rather significant. From what I understand, many of the traps in the single player campaign range in the high-20's to mid-30's in terms of their DC check. If that is the ...

Hey to all. I found a discrepancy between the manual and the game that applies to the skill Disable Traps. The manual states that only Rogues may disarm a trap with a DC of 25 or greater, whereas in the character creation screen it states that for both Disable Traps and Search (Find Traps) only a ...

My apologies...

Sorry about that Xandax. It was meant to be more of Neverwinter specific question. Basically in a roundabout way I'm trying to find ways to increase performance for NwN without dropping a ton of money on a new video card. Right now I'm running a 32MB Riva TNT2 and was hoping to ...

Forgive me if this sounds like a dumb question, but I'm not exactly up to speed on tech stuff!
I'm currently running a system with a 900Mhz Celeron Socket 370 with 256 Megs of SDRAM. There are some pretty good deals on CPU's and RAM around here right now so I was thinking of upgrading to a 1.2Ghz ...

Sounds like you have some experience with playing a Ranger! I used to love playing them in BG2, but I'm finding it a bit tougher with the 3rd Edition rule changes. Any advice as to which skills are must haves? Or which ones are a complete waste of time to spend anything on? Ideally I would like this ...

Cross class skill taking?

I don't think I want to take the monk - I guess I just have this thing against evil-aligned characters. My main question would be if I dump points into the cross-class skills of Open Lock and Disarm Traps as a ranger, can I do them effectively enough? Or would Sharwyn's ...

Ah, it's good to be back! Finally picked up NWN and spent last night rolling up a pretty cool Archer PC. Not too sure if I understand all the 3rd edition skills and rules (ie: is it worth spending points on open locks and disarm traps for my Ranger, or should this be saved for Rogues?) but the ...

I usually just go melee on everything also. However, I discovered the sanctuary trick during a game a while back. I was running a party with mostly low HP's and bad melee (Aerie, Jan, Nalia, PC Jester), Minsc and Anomen were injured and low on potions. But I really wanted the Flail Head and Elven ...

Actually, there is another quest that will take you inside the Temple of Lathander. After you finish the Sir Sarles the Sculptor quest, Guardian Telwyn will refer you to Dawnbringer Sain at the Temple of Lathander for a mission to help retrieve an artifact that was stolen by the rival Talossans. So ...

As the title says. I'm posting this with the hope of putting together a complete list of all the weapons and items that will PERMANENTLY increase a characters number of attacks per round while equipped.
I'll start with the ones I know of and hopefully some of you can point the way to ones that I ...

Sojourner - As always, you are a font of information. Thanks for the link to the 'No Death, No Reloads' thread. Very interesting stuff, and some good tips to boot!
You mentioned that you have used the Blade before. Any particular spells and/or spell strategies that I should not miss? Ideally, I ...
