| Where do I find a list of all the subraces available and their attributes? - Here - Races
|
|
| How do I improve my Attack Bonus (AB) and Saves when character building? - For AB take all weapon focus feats up to paragon level and ensure the stat you are using to attack with (Str, Dex, Wis or Cha depending on feats taken/weapons used) is at the maximum value you can reach. For saves take the relevant saves feats (it may not be worth taking the paragon saves feats as these do not give as big a boost as the legendary equivalents), ensure you have the maximum boosts to Dex, Con and Wis and if you have Paladin or Blackguard levels ensure you have maximum boost to Cha as well.
|
|
| Can a large size character dual wield 2 large weapons? - Yes but if there is no off-hand animation for the weapon in question (hard-coded in NWN) it will not be possible.
|
|
| Can I de-level my character and re-level him? - The Ascension High Priest will de-level your character (for a price) as long as your character does not include any of the restricted classes (or feats from classes) that make this not function correctly. However the xp loss for doing this can not be reclaimed. Once you have achieved level 21 (or higher) you can use the Reincarnation process to reset your character.

| What skill do I need to open locks and disable traps on this server? - You will need maximum skill points allocated (63) to Open Lock Disable Trap and Search skills to be able to find and open all the locked items in HG. You will also need to have the maximum 50 point boost to the skills and/or enough Dexterity (OL) or Intelligence (DT)/(Search) to enable you to hit the 127 cap. In addition you will require Lockpicks of between +12 and +24 value depending on the lock in question. Note that if your character does not include at least one level of Rogue you will NOT be able to disarm traps with a DC greater than 35.

|
|
| How much is a lot of spell resistance when character building and how does it stack with feats and subraces? - If you want to make something truly difficult for creatures to land spells on you will need to follow a build similar to this the Fizzle one posted in the Barbarian Builds category, this has the maximum spell resistance possible for a character to achieve 95, from taking the 10 SR feats and having a base of 75 from a Subrace.

If you want to make a melee or ranged character that can instakill enemies Assassins or Rangers can do this with Mortal Strike or Called Shot abilities.
|
|
| Is getting [Improved] Expertise worthwhile? - If you make a 'caster' Shifter it can be useful as it has no detrimental effect on your attacks, for most other characters the -10 to AB and the requirement to keep reactivating it after you move makes it significantly less desirable.
|
|
| How much pickpocket skill do I need to take? - It depends on what you are attempting to PP however a value near 100 will generally succeed, much easier for builds that can include PP as a class skill but entirely possible for other Dexterity based characters if you can afford to spend 30 (or more points) cross class.
