Yeah, well I have had NWN's for a LONNNNNNNNGGGG time and I think I will finally finish it this time, as I am really enjoying playing as a Bard, probably because almost every BG1-2 and NWN's game I have played has been played as a rogue of some sort, I know the bard is slightly similar in BG2, but this is NWN's.
Anyway, now that I have HOTU I have been fiercly arguing with myself over what prestige class I want to play, I know I dont have to choose one, but to me they represent something more powerfull and thats what I want, which brings me to my first question:

1)Is it really worth it to become a Red dragon Diciple? I mean, they sound awesome and I have seen that your character actually grows wings which looks sweet, and would fit my character perfectly, so would my bard be better off staying as a bard? Or should I take the plunge and grow some wings and unlock the power within?

2)Currently, Daelen (sp?) the half-orc is my henchman, mainly because I would prefer someone else to deal out the big damage, I normally go with the monk that is obsesed with death, but my first ever game was with daelen and he is pretty cool (and cheap

) So, im wondering, is he really the best henchman for my character? I constantly switch between my spear and crosbow so that may change alot, but I just want to know if there would be a better henchman to compensate for the bards lack of abilities in comparison to other classes, as in trap handeling, lockpicking, major spellcasting (I dont have the highest inteligance...well, my character doesnt [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and so on.

3)Weapons...you know the question, as im sure you guys hear it all the time, what is the best weapon blah blah blah, I dont really want the best weapon in he game, I just want it to fit my (Probably) dragnon like character and look really evil and cool, I have always loved the look of the scythe, and have used it once which was with a rogue. So what would you recommend for a Bard/Red dragon deciple? I would like to know the best melee and ranged weapon too if you dont mind [img]tongue.gif[/img]

4)Spells, you know what im going to ask, what are the best spells for my bard? i will note that I like summoning creatures and I tend to forget/avoid many defence speels often [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, I will leave it at that, thanks in advance
