Spellbook and feat selection questions as a Shadow Mage with SD levels

Post by Kaeldre » Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:54 pm

Hey there!
I was wondering if there were any changes to the epic feat selection that a shadowmage takes when choosing SD as a class? Is it the same as in vanilla nwn1? I'm referring to the bonus epic feats that SD get when you invest more than 10 levels in the prestige class.

Additionally, I was wondering if a character with the shadowmage path gets any spell progression as a SD. Do you get to choose new spells as if you levelled up as a wizard/sorcerer, or do you only get the caster levels?

No, the SD bonus feat list isn't available to shadowmages (unless they qualify by dint of having relevant SD levels). Manipulating bonus feat lists without using haks removes "clean" options and means we're left with only clunky ones like feat substitution.

On spell slots, I believe there was an ambition to add spell slots with SD levels at one point, but I don't think it's been implemented yet.

Okay, thats good to know. I'm new to the server so I'm still looking through my options for my build, and you helped a ton!
