MAXIMUM STRENGTH build for MAXIMUM PADDING
We're only building for strength here, INB4 the AC sucks and you skipped most feats and skills.
This build requires blowing a major and a greater
Ogre Fighter 16/Bard 4/RDD 10
18 STR before gifts, 22 after
7 fighter and 3 bard levels pre-epic, with all RDD levels pre-epic as well
10 levels in RDD gives +8 str
Naturally on lvls 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 STR would go up by +5 total
Excluding gear, this build will have 34 STR at lvl 20
Because there appears to be no STR-boosting armor, we will use bronze fullplate and tower shield with +1 STR on each of them and the Dalelands sword (with an ogre wielding a smol hin sword being spicier than an ogre that dumped money into enchanting an axe or something), to a total of +8 from all gear slots. This brings the total lvl 20 STR up to 43.
Now, we get to our epic fighter levels, where we will be dumping fighter lvls 8-16 and a Spellcraft/Tumble dump on a bard lvl at 27. Unfortunately the fighter bonus feats are irrelevant to this build because Great Strength isn't a bonus feat, so we're looking at an extra +4 from each general feat level in the epics--21, 24, 27, and 30--bringing the total str up to 52. The NWN-wiki only goes up to 52 modifier, so let's not get ahead of ourselves with spells.

You can only choose one reward at a time
(so this is basically 5% "i'm a special snowflake, devs do something for me please" terrritory.

Re: MAXIMUM STRENGTH build for MAXIMUM PADDING
Ah, then we'll be scaling this back down to half-orc as per my previous iteration of the build. ... So, 50 str?Kirito wrote:You can only choose one reward at a time

Re: MAXIMUM STRENGTH build for MAXIMUM PADDING
21 base str + 7 stat + 8 rdd + 12 str soft + 4 great str = 52.
Simple.
Achievable by horc, orog or wood elf. 48 str achievable by kobold rdd without 5%.

"The NWN-wiki only goes up to 52 modifier, so let's not get ahead of ourselves with spells."
Does this mean it's pointless for a druid to buff dexterity while in air elemental form, since it would bring it up past 52? Is there no point to having a dex modifier higher than 21?

NWN will handle stats all the way up to 254 before you hit overflows at... you guessed it, 127.
Keep in mind that encumbrance gets a little weird if you go past 50 STR, iirc.

Okay, I was worried there for a second, haha. Would have shaved like 4 AC off my air elemental build.TimeAdept wrote:NWN will handle stats all the way up to 254 before you hit overflows at... you guessed it, 127.
