You can find a ton of examples where the NwN rules doesn't match the official 3/3.5 ED D&D rules. If this is bad or not, I don't really care much for. There are elements in all computer games that doens't comply to things they are built around.


As for the Power Attack feat, I was able as a sorcerer with str. 14 to take it (just tested it), so I don't know why you couldn't.
I could select it both at character creation and in-game while leveling.

I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again, but I could have sworn that it was unavailable to me when I created my sorc. Thanks for confirming my memory wrong; I'll see if I can repro it.
It may be better to be a live jackal than a dead lion but it is better still to be a live lion - and usually easier.

oh.. and one other thing. how does the attribute bonus work into extra/bonus spells for spellcasters?

like say i have a CHA 18 (+4) for a sorceror, i would have 4 bonus spells right? how are these bonus spells determined? in NWN and as it is supposed to be in 3E. i know u should not get 4 extra lvl 1 spells... do u get 1 extra spell for each level 1-4? or else? :confused:

The bonus spells for sorcerers means you can cast your known spells more times. For instance if you get a bonus spell of 1 level 1, you can cast a level 1 spell 1 more time.

You don't get more known spells, just an increase in the number of times you can cast.

As for the number of bonus spells, then there is a scheme on p. 69 of the manual.
It says with a spell casting attribut of 18 (+4) you will get a bonus spell of level 1, 2, 3 and 4.
This means you can cast one more spell of thoese spell levels.

Rogue all the way + 1 lvl of Shadowdancer for the hide in plain sight that just fits my character like a glove. :)
So far, ennemies are dropping like flees, but I also got Linu and Deekin. :cool: For once, they even manage not to get killed too often. :D :p
