Thanks for you help on the Warlock. They are a fun build to play and while similar to a wizard/sorcerer, much different in other ways. I'm not sure which I like better between the 2. The ability to have endless "spells" is quite nice.

The best tank I've had was a Dwarven Defender. Most Red Dragon's I've used have been solid as well, but the Defender was the best for a pure tank.

I am looking at a different party and wondering what people's opinions on who I should take for the final member. This is for SOZ. I have a trickster, cleric, and red dragon tank. I am also going to bring along the druid and the ranger. I am looking at the following options:
Arcane Archer with ...

If you're not into Tricksters, this is an example of a powerfull build:

The Archmage « Build | NWN2DB.

I personally like Sorcerer's better, but I find I need more skill points in NWN2 compared to IWD2, so go with a Wizard instead.

I'd consider taking the Arcane Trickster with the Practised Spellcaster feat. You still get a full fledged wizard, but also get a decent rogue as well. You get a tonne of skill points this way, so if you take able learner off the start, you can maximize a lot of skills. You also get access to ...

Nevermind, I figured it out. It turns out you have to take the feat when you are leveling up as a cleric. I had leveled up as a fighter when I took the feat.

My cleric's animal companion is supposed to be a dino, but is still the original animal. Is there some type of bug? I took the Dino feat.

I played through the game once with a druid and a cleric who both had dino companions without problem. Now, I decided to drop the druid and bring along Umoja to ...

I noticed they started to attack you personally on there. They had previously done this to me as well, so I pulled all my builds off of the public board. I really hate that site.

Thank you for the help you 2 are giving me. It is exlaining a lot.

I have found 2 builds on that site that do a lot of explaining and seem to be popular. One has dropped Charisma though, but does give a reason as to why.

So a Warlock is a different variation of a Sorcerer/Wizard from what I am seeing, but requires 2 abilities to be boost instead of one. I know there is a debate as to which is more powerfull, Sorcerer or Wizard, and it basically comes down to playing style. In IWD2, I liked the Sorcerer much better ...

So are kind of a Paladin/Ranger cross then?

I've never used a warlock before, but would like to try one out. I recommends taking DEX and CHA for abilities. What exactly are DEX and CHA used for? I know you need DEX to hit things with ranged attack. Is that how you are hitting enemies with warlocks, with ranged attacks, not spells? What do you ...

Thank you for your help everyone. It has made playing the game much better.

I feel really dumb for asking this, but just can't figure it out. How do you use your characters special abilities in this game? For example, how do you raise your animal companion, how do you change into an animal as a druid, how do you use your special ability as a Stormlord? I swear I've pushed ...

I just remembered another party that I made up recently that was quite challenging. I tried to put together a party made up of characters from the Lord of the Rings. No clerics there, and you've got a fighter that specializes in bows. It was quite challenging. I decided to stop part way through ...

I can't think of a more challenging front end fighter than a bard. You will need to put points in every category for this character(wisdom so they don't get easily controlled). I guess you will have a very balanced character, but not one that will excell at anything.
I'd stick with a human to get ...

If you are looking for a challenge, don't take any clerics. It makes the game much more difficult. I find pure rangers and bards more difficult to play as a whole, so here is a party that should be more difficult.

Elf Ranger
Half Elf Paladin
Gray Dwarf Druid
Strongheart Halfing Rogue
Gnome Bard ...

I needed to start a new game to make mine effective. I actually installed the more difficult undead Targos, found one part too challenging, so uninstalled it, and I couldn't get any further in the game and had to restart.

It wasn't easy, but I made it through the warehouse and underground part. My party level is up to 8 already. I am mixing up my sorcerer spells to have a nice variety amongst the 3 along with all of them getting the most important ones.

I decided to re-work my party and give it another go around.
1. Assimar Pal(2)/Cleric
2. Human Rogue(2)/Sorcerer
3. Assimar Pal(2)/Sorcerer
4. Drow Fighter(4)/Monk(3)/Cleric
5. Half Orc Barb(3)/Cleric
6. Wild Elf Sorcerer

This should give me more summons at the start, which I clearly needed. 3 ...
