Anuer the Elven Fighter-Sorcerer

Remove all ads!

i am about to buy the game and was wondering if this PC sounds alright. i will have weapon finesse and rapiers, also a longbow. i was wondering if it is possible to wear armour and cast, what would the best stats for this character be and is there a thief npc (name pls)?

 

Tomi Undergallows is the thief henchman you're looking for.

 

Most any character combo is OK.

You'll want high dex, pretty good str, con and cha too.

 

Yes, it is possible to wear armor and cast spells. However, they heavier suits of armors will give you up to 90% chance of arcane spell failure.

 

Sure, any combo actually works in the SP campaign.

May I suggest that you consider the Rogue/Sorcerer instead?
You want to be an elf using Weapon finesse - perfect for a rogue.
It's not a good idea to wear armor because of the spell casting - no armor goes fine with a rogue.
Of course it depends on how many levels you want as sorcerer.

 

Or monk/sorcerer. Monks fight better with no armor, plus get a number of useful special abilities (including some thieving ones).

 

Yeah, Monk/Sorcerer was the Multiclass every BG2-powergamer dreamed about. When I start powergaming NWN, I will surely try him.

 

can you choose kits like in BG2? i could always go kensai if it is so.

 

There is not kits.

 

Although by choosing certain skills and abilities, you can sort of make kits yourself.

 

oh, alright then. cool. never thought of it that way...

is there any "no armour but ill give you better AC" skills?

Nope, no such feat or special ability exists. However, if you char has a really high Dex, using heavy armour probably is not too wise, since all heavy armours don't have very good maximum dexterity bonuses. Monks have a feat (forgot the name) that adds the wisdom modifier to the AC, in addition to the DEX modifier.
