You can do it with weapons too. Furthermore, you can make a valid dupe of the item, rather than a 'stolen' copy.

-Go in and modify your armor/weapons appearance and get it how you would like.

-Quicksave your game before you hit 'make the changes'. Exit the dialogue and load that save.

-You now ...

So epic spells are feat-based? *goes back to the drawing board*

The really fun (in a sick, sadistic kind of way) puzzle is somewhere in Undermountain. it's a simple room with a chest.

Only the catch is, when you walk towards the chest, and it reappears on the opposite side of the room. Walk towards that chest, and it moves back again.

After you walk back and ...

Dungeon siege is a good tide over for a while (and the Aranna expansion, and the sequal is looking solid so far (if the trailer is any indication).

I don't know of any player-made modules for NWN that are any good, although I'm open to suggestions myself if anyone has any reccomendations (I've been ...

Yea, order matters in the first twenty levels.

If I go 10 fighter/10 wizard, I would be stuck forever at 3 main hand attacks. as far as BAB is concerned, there is no difference between wizard and fighter bonuses once you are epic, they both follow the 'epic' progression (+1 every other level)

This ...

good PvP stuff, although I'm not so absorbed by the game to care about power builds, and we could go back and forth all day about double-casting mantles and bow-swapping, etc. If I had cared about maxmizing power, I'd have rebuilt it around short swords and Finesse for more attack bonus, kept Keen ...

Some of those builds are just plain sick ;p

The tattooed head I think is one of the standard character model heads for a male, I'm going to guess human.

I'm not going to say that the fighter/sorc is invulnerable, it's effective in it's own right, and plain fun to play, particularly trying to survive the lower levels is remarkably fun (you have to progressively take some spells and do a lot of swapping as you go).

There are ways to make it better ...

Well.. I've got you with a close match vs wizards. Spell Mantles soak up your level 9 spells easy, crossed with dispels/breaches to eat the wards in the meantime, and I do believe that dispel affects Black Blade, and I may think of investing in Dismissal. It would be a tight fight, but if I can dig ...

It's easy to 'beat' any particular build. My fighter-sorc build has his weaknesses, and the island of the maker was a pain in the butt. Right now those weaknesses stand at fire/magic immune, critical immune, and anything with an exceptional attack and armor rating.

Strength wise, is probably the ...

only catch with Vampiric regen is that it's not per-hit, but per-round

I'd love to refute everything you said about hybridizing a caster, Noober ;p If you want, I can post the specs on my fighter/sorc (level 26 or 27, I forget).

I seem to recall finding that staff (and selling it off since I was a paladin/rogue at the time). I don't think I found it that early in the game. You may have a better bet in the next chapter, however.

I agree. Just because it says 'prestige' and you're eligible for it, doesn't always mean it's good stuff.

RDD itself is absolutely abhorrent for Sorcerers. Bards have it easy with several prestige classes literally built for them: Shadow Dancer, Harper, RDD, Arcane Archer.

If you are a sorcerer, I ...

True, but I wanted to address some more unconventional hybrids, rather than one level wonders like the paladin or monk..

I have found one completely unsuccesful hybrid in the wizard/sorcerer. That was a waste of time.

I honestly don't think that Prestige classes are any better than the normal ...

I had trouble with Enserric the first time i played, simply because my character specialized in the use of a two bladed sword. Talk about letdown.

Rather than deprive myself the often amusing experience by selling the poor bastard, I went into the toolset and passed 'him' into a two-bladed weapon ...

Recently, Bioware unnofficially released a Community Pack expansion (CEP) and those hosts are probably running CEP-adapted modules.

CEP is a 120MB free download that you can track down pretty easily from their NWN site.

I've played around a LOT with hybrid classes (other than prestiges) and I have to say, the game treats them like brutal rejects.

I've played a Wizard/Shadowdancer, Sorcerer/Rogue, Paladin/rogue, and a successful Fighter/Sorcerer, Fighter/Rogue/Shadowdancer and I'm working on a Fighter/Bard/Weapon ...

HotU was a little dissappointing.. fun and epic, but dissappointing.

First, the early stages where they strip you of any and all level-appropriate gear is probably the most challenging part of the game. This really brings out the old fashion dungeon-crawl on a budget, and it's fun. Trying to figure ...

I've found that the easiest class to play is the paladin. Keeping to your alignment isn't difficult, and you get gear thrown at you left and right.

If you start with some good strength/stamina, and then dump into charisma. Paladins fight nearly as good as warriors, but aren't hobbled by bad mind ...
