What is your favorite Race, class, and Build for NWN2? Post here you favorites and if it is for multiplayer, pvp or campaign.

Thanks

Hmmmm, interesting. I can never seem to drift away fromm the cliché fighter build. Heres how it works, run into group, great cleave, and your done:blush:. What kind of build would help me get away from that style of play?

Only thing I can think or is something with range or Tome of Battle: The Book of the Nine Swords

[nicethugbert]

As far as combat in standard NWN2, there is only range or melee.  So spellcaster or missle user is what I have in mind as your alternative.  Kaedrin's class Pack has a lot of new stuff, especially for casters, bards, rangers, paladins.  Or, Tome of Battle: The Book of the Nine Swords

One without Fighter? A mage? A Rogue? Bard? Druid? Ranger?

A brilliant idea!

I know what your saying, but i just think having 100 spells to choose from is a little overwhelming. I might try a Ranger after my FS/SL/DC build.

I might even throw in some Arcane Archer. That sounds interesting.

[Tyler Sorrells]

My bad ^^^, I seem to fail at quoting. Sorry about that.

[Kaldor Silverwand]

I always like to play a rogue with some melee capabilities and a little arcane skills. Think Fritz Lieber's Gray Mouser character. Capable of handling himself in most melee situations, use most magic items, and cast some decent spells. Weak on healing, but there are potions for that, and if the character is hard to hit and dodges most spell damage and traps then healing isn't as critical. I always play multiple characters though. I like building a team that balances well.

FS/SL is better than FS/SL/DC. DC doesn't have such good bonus feats.

[Sarielle]

I enjoy playing both Drow and Tieflings...I enjoy having people be suspicious of me, and the dialogue options are different.



My favorite build/playthrough still remains a smooth-talking, utterly amoral half-drow bard (with a couple rogue levels to take care of locks etc...which were also in character). The game always ends up labeling her as chaotic evil, though I'm not sure I totally agree with that. Evil to me suggests some intention to harm...where as Chloe is just so self-centered not to really think about other people, lol.

[Tyler Sorrells]

Thanks for all of the replies, I love to hear opinions.

Kaldor: hmmm I might try a rouge assassin with some spellcasting class in it based on you idea, thanks!

nicethugbert: Thanks for the tip, ill take some fighter for bonus feats (maybe paladin)

Sarielle: I love drow! Drow is my favorite race of nwn2 so far. It looks cool, has good stat modifiers, and i love to surprise people with a lawful good drow;) For some reason, bard has never really appealed to me that much, I dont know , it could be great,  but I've never gotten around to trying it because it sounded pretty weak to me.

nwn2db.com/

Lots of builds there with search function.

[Tyler Sorrells]

Thanks for the reference. I have actually been using that site for a few months now though.

You can try a Bard/Assassin for that. It should be funny.

Are you looking for a specific playstyle?

If you want to play a caster and have problems choosing spells, try a memorizing class first (Wizard, Cleric, Druid). I prefer spontaneus casting, but choosing the right spells may be difficult if you don't know what you're doing.

As for races, it depends on the build. Human is usually a safe bet, though there are better races sometimes.

Are you going to play the official campaings, modules, or what?

[Tyler Sorrells]

I don't care what play style really, I just want to try something different.



I'm about to play the OC (again for the 100 time) and i know its easy enough for any build, but i want to make one that will be fun to play.

[painofdungeoneternal]

Try doing a theme, ie watch a movie, read a web comic, etc.

I've got a few order of the stick characters, doing star wars is fun too.

I did a Yoda halfling paladin/sorceror/eldritch knight, did gust of wind ( i modded that to actually knock people over ) and force wave ( custom spell on my pw ) for jedi powahz. Only thing i could not get was him being green. I still waded in with rapier flying ( there is a lightsabre rapier mod on the vault ). But you can do almost any character you know and like, especially one with oddball fighting style.

Half the fun is trying to find ways you can make things those characters can do be something you can legally do. If in SP you can download custom content to help with appearance, but most PW's already have a lot. Note that many PW's do frown on a bunch of "Yoda" running around faerun since seeing jedi can really destroy the feeling of being in their medeival world, but if you talk to a DM and use it as more inspiration than literally copying, they can actually help give you the same problems the character you are basing yourself on has, and help you make such a character fit into the lore they are trying to establish.

wow haha why not just make Rambo and slaughter all enemies with a .50 cal? haha just kidding but the yoda thing is a great idea

Modifié par Tyler Sorrells, 24 novembre 2010 - 07:02 .

[painofdungeoneternal]

Rambo with a dagger ( knife ), and a longbow. I'd go arcane archer (AA), you get fireball arrows which are like when he blew up that helicopter with an exploding arrow. Probably 1 bard level ( so you can go AA ) and lots of ranger levels for any level you cannot do arcane archer. You can probably look up a good build on that website with all the builds.

Won't kill everyone, but then those movies were a high level fighter taking out a bunch of low levels and making it look dramatic.

[Tyler Sorrells]

That's a great idea but i was being sarcastic haha. ill try that sometime soon though. I'm looking for more of a role playing build here (like a character that would fit in the nwn2 setting nicely and work with the party members that they give you)

[painofdungeoneternal]

You have examples of that in movie after movie.

Watch any fantasy movie, Conan, the D&D movies, even harry potter, or even historical figures. 3 Musketeers, Zorro, even the Marx brothers. (  a Harpo would be very interesting, not sure on the horn ) How about lethal weapon. A good one is Stargate, its so campy i just can't help but enjoy it. You also can read the many pulp books about faerun ( just don't let anyone else see you playing Drizzt as there is a new guy doing that each week )

Don't focus on the literal ( they have guns ), focus on the equivalents. Creativity is often juxtaposing something borrowed, but putting it into a new situation, and seeing what happens. What if Lex Luthor happened to be a warlock who summoned demons. Or someone like Loki. Imagine someone like that wading in, i don't think so, i see them setting up a trap and watching a slaughter.

The question was that you had, how do i make the game play different, what i am suggesting is a tactic to make you follow a script different than what you are used to. The games playstyle is really up to you, it's not a just a build you need, its also playing a role, and using things you know as you start out can really help you move to that next level.

I think I get what you're saying. I guess its time to start brainstorming. Thanks for the ideas everybody who contributed to this topic.

[SnakeKing]

Race: Deep Gnome, class: Rogue / Monk / Assassin
High DEX, Very High AC (at least 70 - 75< when you do it right) , SR, Assassin spells like improved Invisibility.
Primal Skills: Hide, Move Silently, Parry, Tumble
Primal Feats: Dodge, Mobility,  Improved Combat Expertise, Improved Parry, Spring Attack, Two Weapom Fighing, Weapon Finest.
Primal Epic Feats: Epic Dodge, Perfect Two Weapon Fighting.

+
This character is not easy to hit.
This character is not easy to spot or to listen.
This character have a high initiative and a good chance to make sneak attack attacksthis chracters can still make nice attacks even whem it is small size and not have a high STR
But \\this character level up slow ( ECL +3)
Low HP
No match vs a Grey Ogre Barbarian, Bard, Dragon Disciple ( When this specialy build vs a
Deep Gnome Rogue / Monk / Assassin )

i used a liitle short version but i hope you get the idea of it.

[Arkalezth]

Parry is bad. Improved Parry is very bad. Spring Attack is totally useless with high Tumble. Same for Mobility. Dodge isn't worth a feat. You don't have Epic Precision (most important feat for that character, by far). With those classes and ICE your AB will be very bad.

Etc.
