    Here are today's Neverwinter Nights forum highlights, collected by NWVault. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Why?
    Sometimes it happens. I bought Front Mission 4 for $44 one day. I went back to the store a couple of days later and it was down to $30. Even a couple of days after that, it was down to $20. Prices are always subject to change. That's the way of the market.

    Question about NWN gameplay
    Most of the times i have figured out what are the rolls and skills for, but i cant figure out what are initiative checks for, can anyone explain me what are this for?
    Initiative checks determine the order of actions in combat. Whoever (or whatever) has the highest initiative will take its action first, followed by the next highest, so on and so forth.

    Also does stats modifiers (like intelligence with a +8 modifier (26 i think) increase DC and spell resistance checks?
    In many cases, DC is increased by a relevant attribute. For instance, the DC on a spell cast by a Cleric is increased by their Wisdom modifier. For Sorcerors, it's Charisma and for Wizards it's Intelligence. Spell Resistance checks are not affected in the same fashion.

    Thanks for your time
    You're welcome, and glad I could help.

    EDIT: Whoa... beaten to it by a developer. This is rare.
    It happens sometimes! Thanks for taking the time to respond to the issue as well.

    Request for Advice--new to NWN
    I would have to say that one of the best places to go for that is Neverwinter Connections, which is where I used to play most of my games. They have a variety of guides on good roleplaying techniques, and there's always plenty of games being run.
