Need help with a new build

Post by ensaro dai »

Since I started playing Baldur's Gate 1 I haven't been able to quit playing Bioware's D&D games. Well, I had a few breaks but I started with NWN 2 just a couple of weeks ago. As I'm always up for the challenge to build the 'perfect' built (which applys to a build which i enjoy playing with), I haven't been very succesful. As for now I've got a R(3)/W(6)/AT(2), which is quite fun to play but the character just looks too lame to play with. The AT gear looks just rubbish as wel as any robe which I can let him wear. The roleplaying goes absolutely fine, I find myself wondering sometimes how the game can be this easy (which is strange at playing @ very difficult)..

So now, I want more of a challenge and a character that doens't have the looks of some sort of clown..

I always enjoyed playing F/M's, esspecialy a Kensai/Mage dual classed. I know that is impossible in NWN2 but I'd like a build what might come close to it..

The kensai is supposed to dual wield katana's, be unarmored and the only spellcasting I'd like him/her to have are buffs.. Any suggestions on a Kensai/Mage build or just a pure Kensai build (thought of Monk/Fighter or Monk/Ranger).

Thanks in advance,

Ensaro

this little item saved my hours of game time in creating and testing builds:

CharacterBuildCalculator for NWN2 (CBC2) -- Neverwinter Nights 2 Vault

allows you to plan out your entire character ( stats/ feats/ skills/race/class etc)

without having to run a new game every time you think of something new.

through this i figured out how to make my ranger 6/ bard 2/ AA7/ STA 5
work out

Eldritch Knight would be a good class to include because you get high BAB and spell progression. Since you are not wearing armor you may want a lot of spells to protect yourself.

Wizard5 EK10 Fighter1 HarperAgent4

BAB 16 - 4 attacks :)
Spells 17th level Wizard progression - 9th level spells.

Use self buffs and no save spells (because you won't have the highest intelligence). I think theres a version of this build in the bioware builders guild (done by a builder 10x better than me so check it out)
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.

With my AT, I maxed use magic device and used the duelists armor (I don't recall how high it must be to use it, but I think I able to wear it by level 10 or so).

Extra hastes and it looks good IMO.

Any fighter/wizard/eldritch knight build will be the closest you can come to a kensai/mage.
