if you want a position - you can also play a rouge.
You can also get the magic-wing, if you'd like?

Mmmm, still undecided on which class to take. Possibly just take in my sorc, from BG2.
However it looks like Xandax will be in charge of the mage wing, and I have no problem with that.

hehe, your a funny dude Xandax. Guess I'll nominate myself for second in command, and we now have the largest wing, for now anyway.
How many people, do you think we'll be able to get into this guild. Taking into account the last minute rush into this forum, when NWN is finally release.

Ah, organization and elections... You people
do realize that this can lead to endless debate, right?
Personally, I'm in favor of technocracy; decisions are made by qualified people (which might exclude Barbarians
). Furthermore, decision making should be quick and un-bureaucratic, but with the Guild's long term interests in mind.
I'll be playing a Sorcerer that works well with others, but has a problem with (other peoples') authority (not unlike Jaheira in both respects). I hope Xandax has no problems with that...

Like I say my two favourite classes are Paladins and either True fighters or Bezerkers. I'll go for any of those two.

Maybe it shouldn't be me that is leader of the wing of magi since I'm most likely gonna have a character with low charisma

@Nippy - no it is because I'm gonna be a mage - a sorcerer get his/her spells from charisma

WEll, I am gonna fall in line with the Mage Wing. I normally play with a Ranger multi to a Cleric, but I have been having fun lately learning how to play as a mage and am enjoying it!(God Bless whomever came up with Skull Trap!!!)

Since there are no Kits in NWN, there are no Berserkers. However, Barbarians can Rage at first level, and it's perfectly doable to be a Barbarian/Fighter.

Skull Trap didn't make it into the 3E Player's Handbook, so I doubt it'll be in NWN. However, Fireball should be an excellent substitute for the most time, since you won't make it past level 10 that quickly.

I've been messing around a bit with the character generater located at WoTC - and have understood a bit more about character generation in 3ed.
So this is how my character presently is going to look for NwN:
Class: Specialist mage - Abjurer
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Stats:
STR: 10
DEX: 12
CON: 14
INT: 16
WIS: 11
CHA: 8

I think I'm gonna wait until I see the creation screen before I look at stats.

I can fully recomend trying a character generator, it clears up a lot about savethrow, stats, feats, skills, etc.
I haven't tried the one on the BG2 disk, since I couldn't get it to work, so I don't know if it is the same as the one from WoTC (i would imagine that).

The one I downloaded from WOTC is still a demo. Is there an official one out yet? Or does the demo do pretty much all one would need?

There is no demo for NwN-generation and I really doubt there will be one.
But I found the one from WoTC good enought, also since I had no idea as to how character generation worked in NwN and 3.ed.
just remember if you use it, and you roll for stats to choose pointbuy and 25 which is the number they've mentioned most in regards of NwN.

Xandax, can you post the link to the one you are talking about. The program I have DEFINITELY says Demo when I fire it up. We may be talking about totally different things. Thanks!
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2001 3:23 pm
by Nippy
I have that program also. Actually I just think I am going to use it now to get my stats.
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2001 3:38 pm
by Nippy
OK this is what I reckon will be my stats when the time comes:
Paladin or Fighter
LG
Str 14
Dex 14
Con 14
Int 8
Wis 11
Cha 12
Do people think this might be a little powergamey?
