Help with terms

What do all these terms mean like: keen, soak, mighty etc?

Keen doubles the threat range for a critical hit. ie a weapon that normally does a critical on a 20 will do a critical on a 19 or 20 (and this can be insanely powerful in somewhere like EfU)

Mighty adds strength bonuses to the damage from bows.

Are the rest listed anywhere?

..couldn't really find anything there, but it's a good link anyway.

Try this one...

That one had most of them, thanks. I still can't find soak though. Maybe it absorbs damage?

robertthebard · 09-08-2006, 09:46 PM

Yeah. A +5 soak 10 means that it absorbs the first 10 points of damage from up to a +5 weapon. I think it's usually written like this +5/10, or something to that effect.

This forum is pretty dead. Is it 'cause it's an older game and I just started later that everyone else?

SpiritWarrior · 09-10-2006, 01:40 PM

Yep. With NWN's 2 on the horizon also...

While NWN's is a fun game, it is old now and can look pretty dated (especially graphicswise) so many have moved on to newer things or are awaiting the sequel.
