If you cross-class a skill, you'll be bad at that skill. It's pretty basic D&D. Getting at least 1 class with Discipline as a class skill has never been difficult in NWN.rookie wrote:So 1 class skill maxed out, 1 epic feat, and 10 pieces of gear versus... drinking a clarity potion.
Also the discussion was on someone without discipline as a class skill, their numbers would be:
16 ranks +3 skill focus + 20 item bonus = 39 + d20 vs AB50 +d20
If the prereq to epic skill focus was removed then they could at least have a decent chance for the same investment until the melee downed a TS pot.
You could also not stand still and wait to be knocked down while someone is drinking a TS pot in front of you.
Additionally, Clarity pots have a cooldown. Skill points don't.
