Going by the PNP rules (I know this isn't too much of a help, but it's what I'm familiar with), DR doesn't stack. You always take the best one in any given sitiuation. So, if someone attacked the barbarian with a piercing weapon, he'd use the belt of archery's DR. If they attacked with another kind ...

That is correct, for some reason (D&D rules?)
Correct. All the max dex applies to is your AC bonus. In the actual game rules, you still apply your full dexterity bonus to your reflex saves, your dex skills, your To Hit rolls with ranged weapons (and finessed melee weapons), and anything else that ...

First of all, what you're talking about isn't really spell resistance. SR is the ability to negate spells that are cast on you. Energy resistance is like damage reduction for a particular type of energy.

And no, they do not stack.

30 dex is as high as you can go.

not quite. You just can't have more than +12 to any ability from items. If your base dexterity is 18, then that's the highest you can get (excluding any ability points you add in from levels and epic feats)

Yep, it worked just fine. *cheers*

I have to head off to work now, but I glanced over that and it looks exactly like what I wa slooking for.

Thanks a ton!

I was playing around in the toolset and saw that you can add different types of wings to an NPC. Very cool.

Is there any way for me to load my PC from the single player game into the toolset, add demon wings, then be able to play them in the game again? My rogue is a tiefling (just a human called a ...

Okay, there's one very mild item that I created with the toolset earlier that was for my character. It was, essentially, a cloak of position, showing that he was recognized by a certain group for noble acts.

Howver, at the start of HotU, my stuff is stolen.. is there any way for me to just import ...

Tensers Transformation uses its own weapon
Ah, thanks. I wasn't aware of that. I'm really familiar with the pnp rules, but don't know all the changes that were made to the NWN engine to make it work out in a video-game environment.

What I want is for this guy to rely on his magic to augment and ...

Okay, here's my problem. I'm trying to figure out how to best make a character who is all or mostly an arcane caster (Sorcerer or Wizard) and focus mainly on melee combat. I realize this will be fairly hard to play, and won't be able to out-melee a fighter/barbarian/paladin/etc.

Right now I'm ...

Simple question.. most of you have gone through this game more times than any sane person would (And no, that's not really an insult :) ). I imagine after the 10th time of saving Nalia's keep or rescuing Haer Dalis' can get boring.. and Chapter 2 just takes so long if you do most of the quests.

I'm ...

Holy cow, Xyx's reference is... wow. *starts reading*

you dont actually use spells against spell casters, do you???

Um... yes? *wonders if that is a bad thing*

*blinks* That's kind of simple.

Thanks. I guess I just need to learn which spells counter which protections.. it's like a game of rock-paper-scissors with 5 elements. Ugh

Hey, is there a chart somewhere that lists what counters what?

Okay.. so Breach gets rid of melee protections and RRoR/PM/SW take care of spells that block against my spells?

There's so many different ways of countering enemy mage spells.. Breach, Spell Thrust, Secret Word, Pierce Magic, Ruby Ray, Pierce Shield, etc.

What spells do what? When a battle starts, enemy mages become a swirling and pulsing blob of colors.. and I need to figure out how to bring those colors ...

*nods* Jan likes his Flasher Bruiser Mates. So do I

*looks up ToB weapons on GB's website..*

Nightmare: Would your choices be the same for ToB? There's certainly a bunch of cool weapons there as well

Er, forgot another point.

Doing this, I won't have anyone to use a lot of the cooler weapons in the game (Crom Faeyr, various axes/bastard swords/long swords).. Too many weapons, not enough arms

Party:
PC (Undead Hunter)
Minsc (Berserker)
Jaheira
Viconia
Imoen (Jan until I get her back)
Edwin

I compiled a list of possible weapons.. and accidentally lost it when I copied something else before pasting it in this message window :P

Basically, I want to know what a nice selection of weapons ...
