We all get stuck at Lvl 20, but when fully done up, what is the most powerful character? What feats are the best? What weapons? Or which character do just love to be? I quite like being a MONK or Theif - but as far as equipment goes - I think that you cant beat a nice big GREATSWORD :D Although the criticals on a sycthe are amazing [img]tongue.gif[/img]

cleric is probably the most powerful/versatile
For example: Dwarven Cleric with un-altered stats at 20th is: 16 stre 4 dex 19 con 8 int 20 wis 6 cha now using the maximize spell feat along with stat boosting spells you can raise all stats by +5. using non-player made equipment you could go with: Red dragonscale Cloak of protection +5 Hammer of thunderbolts Hastsezinis Shield Boots of speed Ring of power Amulet of the silent lord Ring of regeneration Belt of Fire giant strength Bracer and helm of choice - i go with the +5 dex bracer and the helm of persuasion usually so i dont have to buff dex I usually only buff stre con cha and barkskin but heres the equipment worn + buffs 26 stre 13 dex 28 cons 8 int 20 wis 13 cha 46 ac 308 hp Attack bonus: +29/+24/+19 the domains i prefer are magic and plant, but you could go plant and air or some other combo of plant and X. So basically, this cleric has the raw fighting power of a warrior combined with the firepower and defence of a caster. [ 04-25-2003, 06:05 PM: Message edited by: Gabrielles blades ] |
Havent tested my self, but ive heard that druids are amazingly powerful in nwn.

I agree, the Cleric is one of the reigning classes. There are also so many bugs/exploits that a PVP Cleric has access to that just makes him/her all the more powerful. Druids are really just a weaker version of the Cleric.
The Monk seems to log in at number 2 - although I have never felt drawn to this class at all...somehow fighting with your fists does not do it for me and, I have a hard time accepting this class into D&D. I'd prefer a good old magical sword any day :D [ 04-25-2003, 07:31 PM: Message edited by: SpiritWarrior ] |
20th level specialist mage.
Time stop. Chain lightning (20d6 dmg) Chain Lightning (20d6 dmg) Time stop. Chain lightning (20d6 dmg) Chain Lightning (20d6 dmg) Time stop. Chain lightning (20d6 dmg) Chain Lightning (20d6 dmg) Ok. I'm out of times tops. You can hit me with your great sword now. |
Do the specialist mages get the extra spell per spell level as they do in the other games?

However, I do have to agree with the cleric. Played through with one, and there are extremely versatile. They can fight in close quarters wearing heavy armor (take the feat Martial Weapon Proficiency and they can use all of the weapons warriors can), and they cast some great spells. Once you get to higher levels, my tough fights would work like this: Cast gate (oh, hello Mr. Tank-from-Hell) While Balor engages tough enemy, cast Harm (drops them down to 1-4 hp left) Balor takes one swing and finishes them off I am a big proponent of the Animal domain, which upgrades your summons (for example, when you cast Summon Monster I, you instead get the creature from Summon Monster II). Even the druid, who is supposed to be in greater touch with nature, cannot match a cleric with the Animal domain. |
Well It seems that Clerics are the most loved class. I've always like monks but I havent tried Cleric since BG2. Ah Well, lets see.. ;)

I almost finished with a level 20 druid, and they have great spells.
Mine died on final battle. |
Although I favor all the different classe's, race's, and backrounds, one of my favorite and honorable 20th level character's had the following attribute's listed below. Now keep in mind that when your in battle your equipment's condition, effectiveness, and specialties vary at all times. Quick slot your different selections accordingly. Like potions and healing gear on one line key, throwing, slinging, Spell Casting or whatever, it makes the game much easier for you. Just slot the Stone of Recall on your number 1 slot and hit it in emergency's and that will allow you to regroup at the Temple in difficult times. </p>Human-Golem

I am not understanding this "Golem" thing.
I notice 2 levels druid in the mix, are you shape shifting into something ? I thought druids couldn't shape shift until level 5 ? And My Tensors transformation sticks me with a "tensors sword" and doesn't let me use equipment. Does a druid's shape shift let you use equipment ? What's this whole golem thing ? It sounds like a shape shift of some kind but I am not catching on here. |
I'm a big fan of my evil assassin - Muricho, the Evil Ranger(9)/Rogue(11)
There is no trap he can't disarm, his AC is respectable even without any armour, with cloaks of protection and his insane dexterity score. Any unbashable container, he can pick it. He dual weilds with improved two-weapon fighting, using small weapons and weapon finesse for an insane attack line. With his longbow he is a dead shot, sniping and melting into the shadows when spotted. In a tight spot, he can take recourse to his magical scrolls or wands, or rely on his Robes Of The Shining Hand (Use magical item) to keep him safe. He'll creep up behind you, and whack off (!) a few sneak attacks (+6d6 damage) before you can even blink. He's a cool character, all in all. I don't have his exact stats right now, but you should be able to see what a force he is. Anyway, the most important thing is that he's *exceptionally* fun to play - and that's the main thing. |

An honor of this one's culture is to bestow upon the warrior a shapechange rod (from the toolset ;) ) to use in time's of danger. I don't think any class restrictions are on the shapechange rod but I wouldn't want to try to take it away from him.</p> The shapechanging really helps character's with very few hit points and armor class. You don't need much equipment if you plan on a shapechanging character because it cancel's out personal gear. Although if you cast your protection spells and then rage before shapechanging it adds to your total hit point base.</p> I hope this make's sense for you and battle on!</p>D.W. |
Lv 1 fighter lv 19 Wiz... Good AC to survive against fighters... and what can i say... i beat the snot out of clerics any day... sweap aside the defenses and then pound them ! Shadow shield and spell mantle makes the clerics spells go poff and smack(Yes i know they get dispelled easily...)An occasional Maximised Vampiric touch unless the cleric has set up Negative energy protection to restore life a bit... It's easy... Wizzies are the most versatile class in NWN and i just LOVE playing it ! It's the best for RP and for PvP ! How people can like fighters is beyond me... how much fun is it not to take part in the battle and just watch your stats do the work ?!?!?

Bards rule everything. :D
My lv. 20 Bard was hacking things left right and centre with his dual longswords with his song and spell buffing. :D And apart from being a more than deccent fighter (he could go toe-to-toe with everyone I met in the game) he can cast scrolls. Can anyone say timestop? :D It's horrible... I had dragons and balors dying without touching me. Although, a Level 1/19 Wizard/Monk would me even more devastaing, in that respect. ;) |
its easy everyone OWNZ its just what you like then you play taht char and hell chop everything to bits!

I'm sure most know about this, but I was a bit surprised by it. When I was playing around with 20th level combos, I noticed that Neverwinter Nights uses a simplified save system for the classes. I had a 19 level Cleric with the 20th level spent as a Bard. Now, besides the fact that I was able to get 23 ranks of Use Magic Items and as a result would be able to use just about any magic item available, I also got a nice 6 point boost to my Reflex saves (oh and a tiny lore boost and a little tune to whistle.) Now whether or not losing a level of Clericdom is worth 3 Lightning Reflexes is up for debate.
This also kind of explained something I noticed with my 10/10 Fighter Wizard who had really good saves (although his Reflex saves were boosted by high dex.) I haven't played PVP that much but I would guess these points could make a difference if some Wizkid with an INT boosted into the 30's whipped out some insta-death spell.

D'oh! Me am moron. Looks like I was wrong about that simplified save thing. I was checking the Fighter/Cleric's saves not the the Fighter/Bard. And the saves were only high because that Fighter/Cleric was an experiment in a Dex, dual-wield Cleric, so the saves were inflated by Lightning Reflexes and a high Dex.
Oh well, it was fun while my delusion lasted. [img]tongue.gif[/img] The Use Magical Item angle might still be interesting, however. Could use Mage scrolls and Wands, and some of those wacky Monkey items, which leads me to think of a level of Rogue/Bardism for a Wizard, although they get some nice Robes and probably wouldn't need the Monk items.
