Potions work just as well unless you want quickened combat spells. If it's primarily buffing you can just drink one of the vendor potions. No need to waste your brewed potions on buffing.
But for offensive casting I could see the value of it.

It is worth the cost on a caster cleric without the Travel or Time domain.
You should be looking to fit hellball in somewhere as it is a caster cleric. Whether that means cheesing a ranger level as many do (you don't need tumble), or opting for only 24 wisdom is up to you.

So I am building my sorcerer and I am wondering if I have picked the best extra feats.
I will have 29 Sorcerer, 1 Ranger (epic-cheezy I know). 20 Cha
So I will get SF, GSF (both enchantment), extend, empower, and maximize
This would leave me with a few feats: I chose, in a practice build, Lightning Reflex, Toughness, Great Fort, Craft Wand. (all of these are just filler and replaceable)
Epic I chose ESF: Enchantment and the rest were Great Cha (up to VII)
I just wanted to know if there were better feats for a sorcerer to take?

They can, but unless they use Mords (and even then) they might remove other buffs and leave mindblank there or not remove anything at all. And it's really easy for the targeted PC to just quaff another mindblank potion. They can buy those in stacks of ten. You run out of spells eventually.

I'd take SF and GSF in another school instead of Lightning Reflexes and Toughness.

Can EWS be taken simply on a Divine Champion level or does it explicitly need to be a DC bonus feat? I tested this once a long time ago, but buggered if I remember.

So I have a bit of an odd character build: Fighter 17/*DD 10/Bard 2 that was originally Fighter 18/*DD 9/Bard 2, but I believe going the extra step to 10 *DD is more warranted. Current feats:
Power Attack, Cleave, Weapon Focus: Heavy Flail, Knockdown, Weapon Specialization: Heavy Flail, Great Cleave, Improved Knockdown, Improved Critical: Heavy Flail, Toughness, Great Fortitude, Blind Fight, Overwhelming Critical: Heavy Flail, Devastating Critical: Heavy Flail, Epic Weapon Focus: Heavy Flail, Epic Weapon Specialization: Heavy Flail, Epic Prowess, Great Strength I, Armor Skin
Ending saves: 22/14/11
Ending stats: STR: 20 (32), DEX: 8, CON: 14 (16), WIS: 6, INT: 14 (16), CHA: 10 (12)
Skillzzz: Discipline 32(43), Heal 13(11), Lore 8(13), Tumble 30(29), UMD 30(31), remaining skillpoints 34 (likely going into Craft Armor/Weapon)So yeah, the idea is a completely ruthless, vicious beast of a 'man'. Keep that in mind with the current layout. Primary question: There is a pre-epic feat free. I have zero idea on what to take given what is already taken Secondary question: Can you take EWS as a regular fighter-level feat in epic, or does it have to be a fighter bonus feat in epic? Uncle-Opustus wrote: Can EWS be taken simply on a Divine Champion level or does it explicitly need to be a DC bonus feat? I tested this once a long time ago, but buggered if I remember. Pretty sure it can be taken on the regular level feat and doesn't have to to be a bonus feat just like with my question, but not 100% sure myself haha.

Not sure on Divine Champion, but WS/EWS can be taken on general feat levels with Fighter, no need for bonus levels to take either.

I would drop toughness and take disarm and improved disarm. Because you are using a heavy flail its just a big boost in AB in many situations.

So basically with using a large weapon it's a free disarm attempt, right? With Imp Disarm, of course.
I've also heard there are 'issues' with disarm vs PCs. Are there 'rules of engagement' if in PvP? Is it just returning the weapon after? Derk, I believe, posted in here that when you disarm a PC you take their weapon. Someone else mentioned that only when unarmed do you take their weapon.
How exactly does disarm work in both PvE and PvP?

Primary question: There is a pre-epic feat free. I have zero idea on what to take given what is already taken. You don't need 30 "ranks" in UMD. Just with CHA mod and whatever, you reach a multiplier of 5. I personally don't think Craft Armor/Weapon is worth it with so many items you can easily get (especially with UMD). How about Spot! It won't be very high with 6 WIS but.... >.> RDD gets Spot.

Yeah, I corrected a few mistakes like with UMD after the fact haha. Spot won't be too good really, and the RDD levels end aat like character level 15 so it would only gain like 16 spot after the modifier lol. Wouldn't match much with the concept, either. Craft Armor/Weapon is good, though, if you actually want to be a weaponeer/armoreer because you actually have the skill rather than reply upon items. Really, I can't find anything else to plug the ranks into haha. I'd really love shoving them into Intimidate... but the classes don't get it

Quarterstaff Weapon Master Monk. It's something I tried to build a while back, but found it wasn't viable because there wasn't enough AC to keep it alive. With the fact that the quarterstaff now works I was wondering what would be the best way to build for this.
Not entirely sure whether to have more of a focus on Monk levels for defensive capabilities, or WM levels. Basically it would be a Monk / Fighter / Weapon Master (Or fighter could be replaced by something else if necessary - but I was thinking it would be needed for Weapon Spec.)
So there's a few ideas:
- Monk 21 / WM 7 / Fighter 2 - Gets glowy eyes, monk goodies, lower AB.
- Monk 6 / Fighter 5 / WM 19 - Higher AB, IKD from monk, Epic Wep Spec, maybe Dev Crit?
- Monk 1 / Fighter 10 / WM 19 - Not sure if 1 Monk level at the end is going to change the quarterstaff bonus. It'd be horrible to level, but have the highest AB in the end.
The character would basically just be entirely focused around quarterstaff fighting, and external Ki abilities (such as Ki Damage), rather than internal Ki abilities (such as Empty Body). I'm worried about it's defensive capabilities, as it seems that everything I build ends up getting pwned in PvM. No shield, so that's -7 AC assuming a +4 Tower, which means it is going to hurt. Also, I'm not sure you get monk bonuses with weapons if you're in armor, so it'd have to rely on a DEX bonus too.

There's a nifty change, coolio. Monk6 seems realistic for boosting your AC with DEX and WIS. Naturally with that you will have to choose between Tumble 30 and EWS. At any rate, I like the idea of having WM19 tremendously.

Also making a quarterstaff monk, but going the route of 25 monk/5 DwD. My questions is if the SR from 25 monk levels will be enough in PvM, and if there is anything else than the Disarm path, blindfight, dwd reqs and Wf/IMp crit I should take pre-epic?

When creating a cleric, must ALL domains must the character's god in order to gain the benefits of party-wide blessing, or only some?

Both the domains you pick must be domains the god supports or you'll be unable to use spells and divine abilities whatsoever, including the pray function.

Under the current system, both your domains must come from the deity's list in order for you to cast at all. You'll get zapped if they don't.

Cool.
Another question, Mummy Dust. How do those summons compare to the level up ones, such as Mummy and Greater Mummy for Create Greater Undead or the Trumpet archon through Gate?

Four levels of Fighter, duh. Theander: I've gotten the impression that the EMD summons are solid companions. Some dish out more damage than the others, some are tankier than the others, but they are fairly balanced and universally usable. Naturally you have to factor in that EMD lasts longer than Gate, for example, and cannot be dispelled. Therefore it makes sense that 'power-wise' the Gate and EMD are more or less equal. I'd imagine Greater Mummy is somewhat more situational, but Winterwight, I hear, is da bomb. _________________ UCE THIS, YOU COW.

Looking at building an assassin that will take advantage of the Amia bonuses to the class and have death attack with a very high DC.
Am looking at Assassin 20, Fighter OR Ranger 8 OR 9 and rogue OR monk 2 or 1. Would be halfling. Attributes focusing on either intelligence or dex. I'm wondering if high intelligence bonuses becomes redundant on a 30 level cap and if so go for dex. Also is there a better combo to focus on assassin.

It's so awesome that you now can have monks with staffs. But how feasible is a sgaff? Does it have the 1.5 str modifier? The big crit? Etc erc http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/QuarterstaffWiki says nothing. 1d6 damage X2 crit Doesn't seem overpowering? But it depends if it counts as a large weapon

Sounds like an awesome concept, but I don't think 20 levels is necessary, and I think a lot of it is going to come down to feat choice.
Think about what feats you want to have and use that to modify your fighter/ranger levels.

So. You are now a quarterstaff wielding monster monk. Awesome.
But how much damage do you do?
The staff counts as a large weapon, so it has 5 mythal powers.
#1 - 5ab
#2 - 4 enchantment.
#3 - 1d10 damage
#4 -Keen
#5 - (Something random)
He is str focused
38 str buffed / that's 12 modifier ( + 12 damage) multiplied by 1.5 = 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 damage.
18 + 4 enchanment + 1d10(1-10) + 1d6 (1-6) = 24 minimum - 38 maximum. Plus a dubble damage on crit.
Add 1d8 (1-8) flame weapon and you get 25 minimum -46 maximum.
More or less then unarmed?
More or less then kamas?
How do i calculate the number of attacks?

No i mean - How do i calculate it? Do i just take Minimum + Maximum and multiply it with X (The number of attacks)? how do i incorporate crit modifier and % chance to miss?
I need a proper way to count the average damage, crit and miss chances included. Any way to do that with a simple math formula?

There's no simple formula, unless you know exactly what the AC of the opponent you're trying to hit is. That pesky d20 will always make calculating things without knowing it very difficult.

I've also heard there are 'issues' with disarm vs PCs. Are there 'rules of engagement' if in PvP? Is it just returning the weapon after? Derk, I believe, posted in here that when you disarm a PC you take their weapon. Someone else mentioned that only when unarmed do you take their weapon.
How exactly does disarm work in both PvE and PvP?

It can.Mind that it isn't 100% accurate to NWN (for instance, Weapon Focus and Epic Weapon Focus stack in NWN whereas they don't on that site, because the two feats don't stack in PnP), but it's good enough an estimate. Anyway, that's a 30 monk with Weapon Focus/Epic Weapon Focus, 38 Strength, standard combat feats and a warforged quarterstaff.

My questions is if the SR from 25 monk levels will be enough in PvM, and if there is anything else than the Disarm path, blindfight, dwd reqs and Wf/IMp crit I should take pre-epic? Four levels of Fighter, duh. But i want moar SR! But seriously, is the SR from 4 monk levels and an epic bonus that feat inferior to EWS? 16 BAB pre-epic I get from DwD, so fighter would only be useful for more damage.

There are trueforged, war forged right? What was the difference?
