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.
