From what I understand, you cannot even raise the bastardsword +4 to a +5, as it requires an empty slot to place in the +5, before the +4 is overwritten.


This is correct.

You can, however, upgrade the enchantment (+1 to +2...+5) as long as that third slot (or 2 slots) is left open. Then once ...

I will definitely check that out, I haven't played with the toolset in months....

Thanks

Heh, that would be interesting to see for GB members.

I have around 120 hours, but it would take another 200 hours or so for me to complete everything I would guess (including all the time I waste fiddling with inventory, creating spells, potions, enchanting gear, etc.).

Anyone else want to ...

I made a breastplate wearin' greatsword wieldin' drow elf bard that was fun and very powerful, but extremely slow progression at the beginning.

I don't recommend this for the beginner as it might take some of the fun out of the game. But the build was quite powerful at later levels with the spell ...

Yeah, you can't plan a build around that weapon for reasons already pointed out. It will decrease your AB for most characters and the extra damage doesn't make up for that IMO.

I suppose a pure wizard with just the basic weapon proficiencies could actually inflict a little melee damage with it ...

In NWN, you used to be able to save as many as you like, but in NWN 2 you can only save 5 per level.

Bad news for certain builds, but whatcha gonna do?

Heh, this is a new one for sure...

You are thinking of Elistraee.

You can take off all your armor and run around a wooded area but you will still have some clothes on. Nothing you can hunt, per se.

There aren't any real perks to choosing a deity in the game that I have noticed or heard of ...

Pretty popular build, I prefer to take 2 levels of fighter to get some extra feats so you can be more powerful in combat. It wouldn't hurt, IMO, to take 4 levels at the cost of sneak attack and some skill pts.

Sneak attack is powerful, but there are a number of enemies that are immune.

I see you ...

Yeah definitely.

They are not really linked as mentioned. NWN was a slower gaming experience with more hack n slash.

The best part of NWN was playing Hordes of the Underdark imo. The first time I played NWN I got burned out before I finished and quit (played mp mods though) until the expansions ...

Best shortsword or wakizashi you can find and absorb health around 20 pts got me through the game along with a shortsword or dagger with paralyze.

I was going to say around level 20-25 for Ur. But as you mentioned, it helps if you planned out your character rather than wander around

Rogue/mage is my first choice in all games I have played including BG series, IWD series, NWN series, and Elder Scrolls series

Here is a list of what I found to be must haves by level:

Mage

1: Magic Missile
2: Mirror Image
3: Melf's Minute Meteors
4: Stoneskin, Minor Sequencer, Improved Invisibility, Spirit Armor in that order (tough to pick one there are a lot of must haves at this level)
5: Cloudkill, Monster Summoning ...

You can actually see what the total is and where each percentage comes from if you select the spells page and then select the tab farthest on the right (I believe).

There is a list of ALL effects on your character here as well.

Np

Asking for gaming laptops these days is like opening Pandora's Box!

Sooooo many options and configurations and resellers....I spent months doin my homework before I bought mine nearly2 years ago. And if I had the cash to get a new I could easily do the same again.

I narrowed my choice down ...

Ewwww...tough question.

I would look at this list: Tech ARP - Mobile GPU Comparison Guide Rev. 6.8 (scroll down, nvidia is on the next page) and pick something with at least a 7800 from nvidia or a x1800 from ATI.

Those would allow you to play, but not at the best res or framerates.

There are ...

Don't know if you figured it out yet or if this will make a difference, but there were 3 will o wisps outside the cave in my game.

Look for them again if you already haven't. Hopefully traveling and resting worked out for ya.

I am going at a pace of about 1 level every 6 hrs.

I am only level 14, but I have played over 80 hours so far. I took the GB guide's advice and mostly took majors I wouldn't use (but some I use a lot). I am only close to maxing one skill (major): Conjuration which is a blast and very useful BTW ...

This is kind of a lame response, but I like the regular rogue leather armor and regular druid armor you get at the beginning of the game.

There are other nice armors, but nothing really stands out in my mind

The other possibility is a level drain effect. That would cause her to lose spell slots, but i don't recall this effect occurring til late in the game.

Yeah, it is fairly well known that when you reload and load games spells in your quickbar dissappear, but I never experienced a time where an item ...

With my AT, I maxed use magic device and used the duelists armor (I don't recall how high it must be to use it, but I think I able to wear it by level 10 or so).

Extra hastes and it looks good IMO.

Any fighter/wizard/eldritch knight build will be the closest you can come to a kensai/mage.
