    Hi there folks, well I'm such a newb when it comes to D&D but I enjoy a good RPG and a nice story, so I played NWN and SoU. I was Paladin and was taking just the recommended stuff, had a few problems here and there but managed to get past them with turning difficulty to easy and reloading a lot :)

    Now I'm about to start HotU... I was thinking Paladin again, and taking recommended again as I have no idea what abilities do and such

    Question is will I be ok? I'm aware that we are talking lvl 15+ so things get harder in this one

    Is there some other class that I could choose that have an easier time in this expansion or will I be ok with pally?

    Thank you for your time!

    HOTU is a really quite an easy game. I dont see any problems with a straight pally build, though you might want to mix in some fighter/cot levels to liven things up.

    read an faq on character creation. If you had trouble with SoU, I'm guessing you dont have lots of experience creating D&D characters.

    there is so much varability in character creation, you can make the game really challenging if you have no idea what you are doing and really easy if you do

    Well I'm the guy that is a living "Murphy's law" proof :) If there is a slightest possibility that you can gimp your guy, give me a few minutes and I'll find a way :p

    It is mostly as I try to do a lot of things at once and get spread too thin. Anyway I'll try to liven things up a bit and wont take Paladin, instead I will try to 3-class my guy is some way... I'm reading " Interesting, fun builds" thread and trying to find one that would suit me, but still that is half of the work I think, knowing how many lvls to take and when, what I wonder is what feats and abilities to choose... Some of them sound like a waste but then again they may be not...

    Bear in mind that Prestige classes do not count for the XP restrictions when multiclassing (for instance an elf Wizard/RDD/Arcane Archer would get no XP penalty whereas an elf Wizard/Rogue/Fighter could get some penalty depending on the difference of levels between the Rogue and the Fighter class).

    Play a character you are going to enjoy, powergaming may spoil your fun, that being said check the builds at Bioware, that should give you some ideas.

    I strongly recommend just trying some stuff out. Half the fun of this game is designing and developing your characters.

    I suggest thinking up an idea for a character and then looking for the abilities and feats etc that seem to match what your character might be into.

    Then come to us for ideas onhow to fine tune it.
