Multiclassing in the expensions

Stilgar · Post by **Stilgar** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 5:32 am

Hevent been here for a while, but finally have both expensions for NWN.
Now i have a few questions
First, when i multiclass with the prestigeclasses do the prestigeclasses count for the exp-penalty?

Second about becomming "epic"(?), do you become epic as soon as your total level is over 20 or when one class is over 20?

And finally any good advice on how to multi-class my elven sorcerer?

There isn't a exp penalty from prestige classes.

You become an epic 'character' at level 21. You become an epic of a class when you exceed 20 (basic classes) or 10 (prestige classes).

I level or so of Paladin can help a lot (divine shield etc.) because of your high charisma. You could try Arcane Archer, but then your spellcasting abilities will be greatly weakened. I personally prefer just pure sorceror.

I was thinking of going reddragon deciple, and maybe 1level arcanearcher for the +1 arrows (he uses a bow)
could that work?

Personally - I see little to no reason to multiclass to a RDD for any spell caster that wants to cast spells, as you don't gain any spell abilities as a RDD.

RDD as I see it is a Fluff class (wohoo - I can get wings

) in the official NwN, or possible usefull for a character with lower level spell casting that whish to be more meele orientated - for instance a bard.

If you wish to cast high level spells - RDD is a poor choice, unless you plan to use the same character in more games, so you can gain very high level.

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'd consider staying that way and get your epic spells. You will find that the power in the higher tiers (black blade, time stop, horrid wilting, etc) far outweigh nearly any combination of prestige class powers.

Mmm, i´ll see it can still go both ways.
Thanks for the advice.

Just one more small question, I downloaded the undead lord from the bioware epic builds site.
He has tatoo's on his head. I can you do that?

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.

Nope, no tatoos on that head (if I had the correct one)
