Hello all

Just got NWN this Saturday past and after experimenting with it all day Sunday I must say I'm impressed and really looking forward to playing for keeps. As I'm a chronic re-starter ( and I do mean chronic

) I thought I would get a little advice and perhaps save myself some grief.

My plan is to be an Elven Ranger/Rogue/Fighter ( 15/3/2 ) and I realize at some point I will incur a 20% XP penalty but this is the first rpg that I've played where an Elven Ranger has real potential so to hell with the XP!

So, is there value in going solo ( no henchmen ) to make up for the lost XP or would I get the same XP regardless?

I'll start as a Rogue to get the skill points and then level each class evenly til Rogue 3/Ranger 3/ Fighter 2 and then all Ranger from there...is this wise? Also, I'm planning starting stats of STR 14 DEX 18 CON 12 WIS 8 INT 14 ( luv them skill points

) CHA 10. I realize I'll never be a spell caster but I'm a MIGHT orientated player so I don't really mind but will the low wisdom hurt me in other ways? I was thinking of using any rings, necklaces etc of Wisdom to boust it but I thought I noticed that Attribute Bonuses will not stack...I had Hide Armor +1 and Bracers +1 but I only got +1 increase to my AC...is this so?

What FEATS would you recommend for a charcter like this?

Well this is getting long so I'll stop there. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
