Ability Rolls?

[Gruenwald]

Just me again asking stupid questions.

When determining your character abilities why is it that I have noticed that the rolls for characters such as Paladins, Rangers and Druids are higher than that of fighters (especially berserkers). Am I just extremely unlucky with my character construction or is this the programmers doing?

Cheers

Since the rolls are completly random, the answer is no your not unlucky you just have to sit there clicking roll for ages, or another way is to put your charisma down to like 5 or 6 and use the extra points to raise the stats untill you get the ring of human influence (Charisma 18)

[Gruenwald]

ahh cheers for that.

Another quick question is of I was to use SK, would it permanently mark my character as being modified. In cases such as NeverWinter Nights (which i can't wait for), would that game detect the use of SK?

[Glorfindel]

For a start... Druids etc have higher rolls because they have higher Minimums [img]smile.gif[/img] ... and as for NWN it wont permanately mark it... but u wont be able to load your BG2 characters into NWN despite what one of the loading screens says

Gruenwald,

the classes you mentioned have some (fairly high) minimum attributes for one or more stats, which makes it easier to get a better total than for other classes. For example, a paladin needs a minimum CHA of 17, so the die roll for that attribute will *always* be 17 or 18.

Ranger/clerics can also get some fairly decent rolls

Glorfindal,

You've lost me on that point about not being able to load in our BG2 characters into NWN. I thought the whole idea of NWN was to allow us to continue with our characters from BG2 (although not the actual story as it ended with ToB).

Cheers

Well, you will get to keep the name, the class and the race. But the character will have 1 exp, you must reroll the stats and reselect your spells. And you won't be allowed to keep any items.
So, technically, you can import your BG2-character, but it won't benefit in any way.

Actually, Bioware announced on February 20th that they will not be allowing BG imports at all, since it would be pointless.

Importing of BG and BGII characters?

[Preston] In NWN we will not be supporting the importing of BG characters. In the past we had expressed a desire to do so, but after recent events we revisited the earlier decision. We now have a slight conflict regarding this feature, as NWN in published through Infogrames and the BG line of games are published by Interplay. We also found this planned feature to be somewhat redundant after we noticed our QA team had already re-created all their favorite character from the past using the toolset
