One little issue is, most advice you're going to see on the forums is about what builds are strongest in PVP at level 30. Not what has little trouble conquering PVE along the way. Carefully built bards are extremely strong at the end but they are late bloomers and aren't anywhere near the top of lis...

The issue I have with this trio of suggestions is that I worry they would disconnect Skal too much from Arelith, effectively making it a separate server with very little connection to the Arelith setting. This kinda goes against what it was designed as, which was an introductory server for new play...

I know this may go against what I said before but.. If the idea of something inspires you, just play it. It's always better to play some concept you're into than playing it safe.

Drow shadow mage is fine, give it a try. If it doesn't work out you can always roll a new character.

Any race is "okay", except a few oddballs like Fey that you couldn't play anyway, but human is probably the safest bet if you don't know the server and individual races lore. Playing a sun elf might be enticing for example but the RP would be much more complicated. Don't write the lore anywhere.. Te...

If you had a character under that login before EE, but deleted it and the login account was empty, you still can't use it anymore. It seems you have to have a pre-EE character in the vault to keep the login name.

I've thought before there could be a series of questions at character creation to get people to enter these basic details. Make them editable later with a command, have them display before any paragraphs of text about the finer details.

The problem with the Amia system was some domains were woefully overpowered and some woefully underpowered; making only the worship of a few gods viable. Though honestly our piety system can be just as lopsided. T&D is an awful aspect for example, depending on a skill clerics don't have (and a mech...

I've scried multiple times daily in the last couple weeks, trying to get this bug to occur. I've had wards, a familiar, a summon, no wars, been exhausted, timed it to have me slouch. No teleports at all, though people could hear my twinkling fey. The only difference I can conclude is that I have an...

Just to necro-bump. I believe this bug is still present, I have one character who multiclasses against their race's favored class and they are getting less XP for the same quests as my other who has no penalty.

Spellswords are a big no. They can't have any summons which means no SD shadow. Weaponmasters need too many feats to work. You'd have to be a fighter/ WM/ SD and you'd be cross-classing all the skill points which is a big waste. It's just barely possible to do but really not worth it or better than ...

As a way to combat the greyed-out animal companion or shadowdancer's shadow (and possibly racial cooldown spells?) when moving between servers or logging in and out, can I suggest a command that lets the player manually refresh and reset the cooldown? Don't think this would be exploitable since you'...

The writ system could use more missions and variety. There are a fair amount of low and mid level areas that arent even assigned writs and more patrol writs can be added too, so I don't think new lvl 1-20 areas need to be created necessarily. Epic content might need a little love especially as it ge...

People want beds and a place for their personal fixtures, not just a storage chest. At least I value Cordor's Commons higher than a random Inn room or a vault. And there is a lack of that - proper houses with proper bedrooms. There's a lot of people who just want storage though and only buy a quart...

I am pretty sure you get that message when dropping down to level 1, if that's what you tried to do. Incrementally works best.

If you're looking for a good Orog build who could enchant, you could try Bard/Fighter/Blackguard. Though fitting those feats in would take away something else you need more. Not to talk you out of sorcerer but you can really only focus in one or two schools with the limited feats, especially as non-...

When Sencliff was announced as a starting location I was excited by the idea of playing a pirate from level 3 in a new area, but obviously that's not possible, you have to go to Cordor or wherever. I have a pirate in waiting for this reason but having to level elsewhere (and being a side character) ...

Much like the beloved housecat, if a panther familiar sees an opportunity to turn on it's master it always will.

Is there a way to change my familiar to something less... opportunistic?

You can change it any time you level up, if you were not aware.

I find weaponmasters very boring to play myself (at least, strength based) but if you're not sick of them you may as well try one. Look at the cookie cutter builds for the best advice but you want 20 fighter, 3 rogue, 7 weaponmaster.. exactly, with 13 fighter and 7 WM levels before 20. Though one th...

Reworking Feylocks could actually be an opportunity to delve into some of the unused spells in the game (http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Non-class_spells) I really like the idea of them having curses, so "Evil Blight" could be a great spell to have (lowers all enemies' stats by 3) "Rogue's Cunnin...

I think with the current state of things something like 6 Monk/ 5 Fighter/ 19 Rogue with a quarterstaff or kama (staff is better) is much more capable than a 20 Monk/10 Rogue.

Weaponmaster is tried-and-true and you can't go wrong following the build advice on that.

I can say I have a druid who would buy almost any interesting potion they could find, but they have a hard time finding any in PC shops. I'm surprised more potion makers don't hit the druids up since that's the most notable class who can't take a UMD dip and potions are the only magic they can use w...

What if feylocks were able to use Curse Song as if still a bard, but not the beneficial version?

Just a thought but it seems thematically appropriate. I like them as masters of trickery and hexes.

Two spells I do think they should receive are Bestow Curse and Dominate Animal.

Thanks! Will sit on the character I was thinking of then.
