Definitive answer on the Ranger/Cleric.

[StarVid]

It turns out that the spell selection is just really screwed up for Rangers to begin with. I talked to someone at the Wizards of the coast who said this:

quote:
In the 2nd Edition PHB, rangers of 8th level or higher only had access to the plant & animal spheres, not to all the spheres that druids did.
You should keep each class's spell lists & casting level separate from others (just like in 3rd Edition), so a ranger/cleric would cast:
1. rangers spells from the ranger's spheres using the ranger's spell-casting level; &
2. cleric spells from the cleric's spheres using the cleric's spell-casting level.

:end quote

Basically, spell selection works the same as if you dualed a mage. For example, if you dual at level 8, when you catch up, you should only be able to cast one extra 1st level spell from the plant or animal sphere, rather than have access to every sphere of spells.

Anywhos, this is for all who are interested.

Does anyone know anything about the new Aurora engine and if it's going to adhere to the 3rd ed rules better than the infinity engine stuck to the 2nd ed. rules? I've only heard vague rumors about the engine in general.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that before. But yeah, you're right. As far as the Aurora engine goes, only Trent Oster and the boys can say for sure. I imagine that it will have some of the same minor problems that BG 2 does. Most of these problems will be remedied by patches. But remember this - if you are playing the online version of NWN, the DM will be able to script rules changes. Therefore if you recognize a problem, simply report it to your DM and he should be able to fix it.

I doubt I'll be doing online play though. I mean, if I could get a bunch of people together to play DnD, then I'd rather just do the PnP version. All this cRPG stuff is just my methadone, while PnP is my real smack. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
