Category:Pandects

From HGWiki

Pandects of Darkest Secrets add feats permanently to a character. Each character may only use one Pandect ever. They are returned if you reincarnate your character as bound items so you can only change by not reclaiming or not reusing the reclaimed item.
Note:The Shield and Disarm Pandects are by far the most valuable of these books for trade purposes as just about all pure Sorcerer and Wizard ideally need a Shield Pandect and lots of feat tight melee builds will want a Disarm Pandect. Relative Pandect value in decreasing order would go something like this -
Shield - Arcane non-splash casters, pure Rogues
Disarm - Most melee may benefit from this
Rapid Fire - Useful for ranged characters that are Feat tight
Sneak Attack -More damage for melee/ranged
Accuracy Without Sight - Can be used to save a Feat on a Ranger or to allow LSA Listen
Weapon Crafting - OK but you can usually find a better choice
Armor Crafting - OK but you can usually find a better choice
Epic Energy Resistance - OK but you can usually find a better choice
Spell Resistance - Very situational use for Monks or high innate SR races
Knockdown - As not many characters can afford to fit in Legendary/Paragon Knockdown and the underwhelming effects it gives (at least to the Knockdown effects from spells)
Summoning - As most NWN Epic summons are poor this is only used if you have no other choices
Don't expect most players to jump at trading a Summoning Pandect for a Shield Pandect!
