If you are a beginner and you want to use magic, divine magic is usually the easier choice. Arcane casters also have the lowest hit points of all classes. Arcane magic does often more damage and there are also lots of spells that protect you and weaken the enemy, but wearing armor causes a chance of spell failure. When you want to fight with magic, you have the choice between arcane and divine magic.ĭivine magic can heal, protect, hinder enemies and cause damage and it can be cast while wearing armor. I think this is only good for divine casters. You lose damage and increase your chance of not getting hit. class abilities that cause damage independent of weapon damage (such as sneak attack)

Strength is not so important, because damage bonus is halved for off-hand-weapons.

Use only small or tiny weapons and take all 2-weapon-fighting feats. These chars need lots of dexterity and the feat weapon finesse. fight with a weapon in each hand (dual wielding) High strength means also a high chance to hit. Those chars need tons of strength, because the (strength modifier * 1.5) is added to your damage when using a 2-handed-weapon or holding 1-handed-weapon in both hands. Take the biggest weapon you find and start killing. You have the choice between the following combat styles: Whatever you do, focus on one fighting style and try to be perfect in this one. There are hundreds of spells and even I have problems to tell which one is most useful now. This leads to: do you want to use weapons or magic?įor beginners, fighting with weapons is easier because if you use magic you need to know what spells you need in which situation. The first question you should ask yourself is: how is the char supposed to fight? When talking about good chars, I mean chars that are good in fighting A dumb char with no dialogue skills might not always get what he wants, but he will be able to finish the game. When you cannot go on in this game, it is most likely because you cannot win a fight. Please make comments for what of these things are different in NWN1. If you want a char that is good in several different things, ask somebody else. This means, my characters are focused on doing one thing very good. If you know what you are doing, you can completely ignore this. I am NOT talking about pvp and I assume that you are in a group together with other npc.
#NEVERWINTER NIGHTS ENHANCED EDITION CHARACTER CREATION MODS#
I am talking about NWN2 as you get it on gog, no mods or other things And when I read the forum here on gog, it looks like many other people have questions too. NWN has the most complex character creation I have ever seen and even I was very confused when I played it the first time. I have played NWN2, Baldurs Gate 1+2, Planescape Tornment and lots of other RPGs (and other genres).
