actually, as you get more attacks per round, the Speed Factor will contribute less and less, as the game engine will have to "fit" more attacks into 6 seconds. This is true even if your weapon details "say" it has a high Speed Factor.

Aasimar Dwarf Paladin 2/Fighter X (all 2-handed weapons + Holy Avenger)

Human Monk 1/Paladin 1/Cleric of Illmater X (general Divine support, self-buffing undamagable tank in specific battles)

Human Rogue 1/Sorcerer X (Arcane caster + negotiation skills + alchemist)

Drow Fighter X/Rogue X ...

From my expiereince with archers (I've finished ToB twice with an archer in a party), you shoud defenately specialize in Shortbows and Crossbows.

Here's why:
A. Tuigan Bow +1/Light Crossbow of Speed +1/Drow Crossbow of Speed +3:
all these weapons add an EXTRA ATTACK PER ROUND. With Archer's ...

the "-2" message is a bug

I'm totally with Cuchulain82 on this one: since a Consular will mainly fight with the Force, what you want from your first class is a better defensive abilities (to let you stay alive while using the force) rather than offensive abilities.

And Scouts have exellent abilities:
- free Implant feats ...

My favorite was Solari+Phond+Mantle of the Force. Insane damage, some of which is of Phisical and Light Side damage types (meaning it piercess through shields, that protect against Energy damage)

"Keen" weapon is a wepon that has it's Critical Threat Range doubled. For example, a single-bladed lightsaber, that usualy has a Crit Range of 19-20, with a keen property has a threat range of 17-20.

From a powergaming point of view a sniper-build isn't a choice in IWD2:
[/QUOTE]

I beg to differ! While high-level spells are of course mor powerful and versatile, in some situations a carefully built (and properly used) sniper is the best man for the job.

Bards get bard spells, not sorcerer spells - the selection is a lot more limited for them. You can look it up in IWD2 section of Gamebanshee.

As to the adding 'sniper' capabilities to the support caster: I would advise against it. the reason you have spells is to... well, use them! When a ...

Sorcerer (pure DD) - taking this all the way, race? skills? spells? Remember, DD first. edit - maybe Drow for this, planning on taking the party into HoF after the first run through.

From my expierience sorcs are best utilized with one or two 'best' direct damage spells ...

I think I got it form the fight that happens just as you enter Severed Hand. But I think many fights/containers in Severed Hand can produce it - you just have to be patient and reload a lot.

Here the best weapons types and the specific example you want to buy/find depend on what build you want to use:

1. High-STR tanking char: the clear winner here is Axes. That's why:

- flexebility to use 1-handed axe with shield or two-handed axes, depending on tactickal situation nad the specific ...

Unfortunately, you cannot chose Unarmed Strike as a Weapon of Choice in NwN.

You can, however, chose Kama... (which, if used by a monk, uses the 'monk unarmed attack table' to determine your number of attacks per round)

Kamas will also be usable by a duel-weilding char. Actually, a char with a BAB ...

[QUOTE=Sgt.Pepper]Slings, Bows or Crossbows?[/QUOTE]

well, that depends...

i guess overall slings are the most effective:
- do blunt damage - very common resistance in IWD2
- works with Rapid Shot
- good sling available very early in the game
- an UBER version available: Sling of Pain +5: +5 ...

Unfortunately, number of attacks is capped at 5/round, 6 while Hasted. So there's no reason for a monk to get BAB above +13/+10/+7/+4/+1 (from the number of attacks point of view, of course - better BAB is always welcome, of course).

2 more attacks can be added if duel-weilding Kamas - thus giving ...

Favorite:

Tank's weapons:
Great Axe of course - Widow's Sorrow (I tend to use it over other greataxes, up until +4! The extra criticals are really something!)

Haft Over Head - my tanks tend to have specialization in axes anyway, so a bit of flying +1 bludgeoning damage is extremeny useful.
