A question about dual wielding and weapons

Post by ShadowOnTheSun »

I want to make a dex dual wielder tiefling rogue but i dont know what weapons to use :( i was thinking of using short swords (personaly i dont really like the way they look in nwn 2 hehe) but i always see people talking about kukris and daggers so i am confused. plus i'd like to include invisible blade to my build but i heard that short swords could still do bleeding damage.

so what is actually better short swords (small weapons) or kukris (tiny weapons) for dual wielding?

Well, short swords do 1d6 damage, and crits at 19-20/x2, while kukris do 1d4 and crits at 18-20/x2.

I think both look ugly, but I'd probably go with kukris. :p

You'll need a class with martial weapons proficiency to use kukris I believe. Rogue doesn't have it.

Kukri is usually better, since I think the weapon enhancement bonus multiplies on a crit and thats going to be worth more damage than the extra 1 pt avg damage on a shortsword.

Daggers sometimes people who want to be Invisible blades (but don't have martial weapons -> kukri) take.

Shortsword is fine since a high rogue is not about criticals, he is about sneak attack damage! If you play epic make sure to get crippling strike/epic precision to protect your sneak dice. HIPS and Epic Dodge is also nice.
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.

which one...

I played MoTB (female drow) and started :
Rogue (7) (open locks, hide, move silently and so on..)
Fighter (2) (quick improve of parry, gain extra HP)
Assassin (4)
Silent blade (5) (cause bleeding wounds, 5 is max lvl for SB)
greater two weapon fighting, weapon spec - kukri
char looks nice, BUT it quite sucked :/
in OC it would be better since there are a lot of great kukris (but also daggers) and you dont have to pick neeshka since you will be rogue, but.... still not enough good :/

considered that a drow has wizard as a favourite class wouldn't that build of yours bring Xp penalty(the highest class should have been wizard ,not rogue that would have been fitted for tiefling instead)?
