Is it true that campaign isn't good for melee characters? If I want to play with a Wizard character, what prestige or multy classes would you suggest? Or I just go fully wizard?

TLDR: my rogue build ends the game with baseline +29 to hit when dual-wielding. I feel like this is too low. Is it?

Hello,

For literal years I have been kind of orbiting Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, doing more time coming up with builds than actually playing the game, so while I have a lot figured out, I don't actually know what kind of numbers are good enough to get by the PVE content. I plan on playing on Normal difficulty.

I know NWN2DB exists, but what little I've seen of the community there leaves me unimpressed. This community seems much more relaxed.

I have a nearly pure rogue build in the works that has almost everything I want, from a boatload of skillpoints to high sneak attack damage and decent (for a rogue) will saves, but it only has a base +29 to hit (+31 - 2 from dual-wielding) and I get the impression that even for normal-difficulty PVE content that's low enough to be a problem. I'd prefer not to be stuck flailing at air unless I HIPS or Feint, but I still want sky-high sneak attack damage and skill points.

The finer details of the build. Please note that it's a roleplaying build for a particular character, so some choices are deliberately unoptimal, but effort has still been made to keep the build strong.

Human Rogue 26/Fighter 2/Cleric 1/Shadowdancer 1
Background: Wild Child
STR 14
DEX 16
CON 14
INT 16
WIS 8
CHA 8

All attribute points go to dexterity.

Lawful Good with the Wild Child background, picking Trickery and Earth cleric domains for Feint and Toughness.

Feats: Luck of Heroes, Able Learner, Weapon Finesse, Dodge, Mobility, all Two-Weapon Fighting, Blind Fight, Iron Will, Steadfast Determination, Weapon Focus, Crippling Strike, Epic Precision, Epic DEX for all other epic feats except Perfect TWF.

Skills: Maxed bluff, diplomacy, hide, move silently, search, disable device, set trap and open lock, 30 spellcraft and tumble, 13 craft trap, 14 UMD.

Obviously this is an amateur's PVE build, hence the lack of detection skills (even a human rogue 26 only has so many points to spare.) The character is meant to be cunning and self-reliant.

My main concern is whether or not that base +29 is sufficient accuracy for PVE content on normal difficulty, or if I have to shuffle things around for more accuracy.

Besides that, I'm also all ears for any general advice - both for rogues and for the MOTB campaign - that you might be willing to share.

Thank you in advance!

I'm having a great time with this build in the OC but am reaching the part where I'm mostly fighting undead so all my fun crits are useless. I remember MoTB has similar enemies. Would it not be very fun to play as this class?

This is my very first DnD style game, so I am quite new. I have 20 levels of Monk class from my previous character in the OC, which is the same I am using in MotB. How could I make a viable Monk/Duelist build for the campaign? What feats and upgrades should I choose? Is there a better option for a noob like me? That´s all. Thanks!

I saw a post on Gamespot from 17 years ago that said: "The only reference to Minsk and Boo comes in the shape of a transition message.

'Rashemen is home to legendary heroes, such as the ranger Minsk and his hamster Boo.' Then it mentions something about him serving one of the witches now."

However, in the game, I only found a cosmic hamster totem hinting at Boo in the Academy at the end of the game; I didn't find this section introducing Minsc. Does anyone know where I can find this introduction to Minsc? Thanks.

Hey guys. A lot of people say the best class progression for a lore accurate, good aligned, kalach-cha in nwn2 is fighter/paladin/cot. I'm wondering how this would progression into MotB. Whether there's an additional class that would be added, or maybe continued progression in either fighter or paladin, or maybe there's a better class combination that would work for the entire 2 game campaign that remains lore accurate.

It doesn't need to be the most efficient at dealing damage; however, the classes should still synergize well together. For example, I think an initial class of ranger would be more lore accurate than fighter. The only combination I could think of that fits with this is ranger/fighter/wizard/eldritch knight.

It's a little difficult to find a class combination that works equally well doing massive damage to undead as well as fey and still be lore accurate. What do you guys think?

I had to restart that fight over a dozen times at least. Safiyah would either die so fast or every enemy would save every one of her spells or my character would get paralyzed or feared and never save the throw taking her out of the fight indefinitely until she died. I tried so many ways to buff myself beforehand until on the 15th or 16th try it just worked finally for no reason.

My friends online bore witness to my full, unfettered, raging New England accent as I crashed out over this encounter and repeated bad dice luck. I can’t wait to engage with the frustrating mechanics of the DLC that get introduced soon.

Good game, can’t stop playing.

Hello. I just finished original campaign and I exported character to motb. I am 10sorc/10 mistic Scholar of candlekeep and i just finished first major fight with Red guys and It was cery hard. I understand that rests arę limited and sorcerer isn't good option as enemies Has much more HP than on oc campaign. Will this campaign be a struggle and should I reroll or will I be able to eventually get this setup going. Im playing on classic dnd dificulty

I have tried to do this fight over 5 times now. If I keep fighting all the spawning elementals and creatures, I will run thin and eventually just die. So what I did was to fight for a little bit and then go rush to kill the Genius Loci, since by killing it, all creatures supposedly stop spawning. The problem is that after I kill it, creatures keep on spawning. They spawn less at a time, and I can handle them for a long while, but they just do not stop spawning. I have reloaded and tried this fight for over five times now. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, no mention of this anywhere I can find. I am playing with the client extension on the latest patch of the complete version. Is this a bug, or is there something I missed here?

Does anyone know why my Kaji is named Pluthic in the middle of Act II? I have been using console commands to turn off the spirit hunger thing because I hate it but other than that I don't know why he would have a different name.
Edited to add: NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer...sorry I left that out.

I started Mask of the Betrayer again and i’m just curious if i’m able to import a character that i used console commands on? I usually do a lot of mods on my 2nd play through & i’m curious if i level my character a bunch & give myself some special items can i just use that for motb?

The hags say that there is a companion from the original campaign nearby. But it is not Bishop. Who could it be?

Hey everyone, I thought to share a quick PSA. I am unsure if this also works for Safiya?

If you choose to bind Akachi to your soul you might get bugged ending, where Gann leaves back to Rashemen, and you dont get any farewell from the rest of the companions. Gamebanshee said to use this console command rs ga_global_int("Z_b GannStays","=1"), but it never worked for me.

What worked though was adding Gann back to your party after the Akachi fight, and you will get the romance ending and most importantly the talk with him and the rest of the companions. He always died for me (edit: i recently replayed this ending and i believe when i wrote this post i had a bug where gann just disappeared, this time he didn't die/disappeared and i did not need the console command of adding him back as the romanced ending worked without a hitch), and was just removed from the roster, so I couldn't raise him back up. I am unsure if thats whats supposed to happen or if it is a but or what T_T.

So if you have problems seeing the dialogue or the romance ending, you can use the rs above or just add him withthis console command: rs ga_roster_party_add(gann).

I couldn't find any info about this bug anywhere so I hope this is the right place to post this.

I just finished the NWN2 OC and exported my character to continue on to MotB. I had read you're supposed to lose everything in your inventory plus your weapons. However the only things missing were my gold, the sword of gith, my shield, my first 3 magic bags and strangely the cloak of blackflame I had equipped. The bags that didn't get deleted also still had all their contents.

I've tried re exporting and the same thing happens. I know I could just empty my inventory before or after starting MotB. I'd prefer not to do that as it's possible this bug could be just one symptom of a larger problem with the file that clearing my inventory isn't going to address. Also are you supposed to lose your shield and cloak? I thought those were meant to carry over.

I have a few mods installed, mostly just visual and UI stuff plus some fixes. Probably the largest one would be this. https://github.com/nwn2fixes/player

My override folder looks like this:

• Companion and Monster AI 2.9
• Diffuse - Recommended
• gl_construct
• lvlup
• NWN1 portraits for NWN2-81
• Other Maps - Recommended
• player-master
• Tchos' HD loading screens
• Tchos HD UI panels and dialogue v1_3-81-1-3
• Trees Textures Overhaul
• zzzz Enhanced Terrains Preview

EDIT: I tried deleting everything in the override folder, this did nothing. The bug persists. I did notice that the shield and cloak were simply being unequipped and placed at the top of the inventory, deleting whatever happened to occupy those slots before. Which explains the magic bags being the only thing to get deleted. It appears if I were to just leave those slots empty then the only things to get removed would be my gold and the sword of gith.

Just beat the NWN2 OC campaign for the first time. Loved it. I never crafted though.

MOTB seems to kind of push you in the way of crafting right away. I've been trying to read guides and it's just way too overwhelming for me. Will I be underpowered If I don't do it? Can I still find cool items from other sources?

Thanks!

Edit for future searchers: Solved. Turning off bloom effects in graphics settings solved it for me. For an unknown reason, bloom effects maximized the demand on my graphics card which tried to pull power harder than my battery could deliver, resetting the computer. If you have a similar problem, trying all graphics settings at low and then slowly step them up.

This is...weird. I played through the NWN 2 campaign without any problem. Jumped into Mask of the Betrayer. Every time I meet the red wizard at the beginning of the game, my computer crashes and reboots. System log is saying I'm losing power.

Very wild. Any ideas?

I'm guessing something is happening in the game which is maxing out my graphics card (AMD RX 580, 8 GB) and pulling harder than my battery can deliver (similar thing has happened in more demanding games like BG3). Any ideas which settings Mask of Betrayer uses that I need to set lower to minimize demand on graphics card?

Is there such a thing? I wanted to make a new (male) character for her but if it's possible to keep my current character and her visual model... any mods that enable this, or change our character's gender but not looks?

Any suggestions for good but easier modules? How easy is BG1 or IWD mod? After 15 tries I can't get past the first big battle Mulsantir, on easy. If gonna be this difficult, I'm done, life is too short.

i know is a bug item but i need ask anyone know i is best i stay it this items or just drop they and anyone know what are this itens? sorry for the bad english.

So apparently, Kaelyn gets a bad ending if you don't kill Rammaq.

Also apparently, you cannot kill Rammaq unless (counterintuitively) you help him first.

Is there something I can do with the debug menu to kill him anyway?
