Questions….
1. I’m running again the 1st chapter, as a sorcerer. I noticed that this time I have much less treasures. I do not know if this is because a sorcerer is suppose to live on bread and water, or because I updated my version.... Any Ideas?
2. In the battle against the Devorer (Prison) I sent away all the gards before figthing the head gaoler, and no devourer, I looked everywhere, so do not try to tell me to look again. Is it possible that the devourer left with the gard, or that I should let go the head assistant?
3. I’m having serious problems with chests, since Tomi always prtetend to be able to open them, but somtimes the area is too crowded, the answer might be to use a pixie a thief, ande the barabarian as hendchman (for a sorcercer), anyone tried this?
I do not want (yet) to spend a place for the knock spell, and to buy one is ridicules, since the chests contain not enough...

 

1. What loot you get depends in part on your class. So you are more likely to get things that you can actually use. For a wiz/sor this means a higher probability to get scrolls for example. It is also based on your level.

What bothers me a little is that the loot is generated when it (assuming a chest for example) is opened/bashed. Using Tomi this is not an issue since he only unlocks them. Using Daelan however might mean that the loot is based on him instead since he is the one that bashes it. (Can someone prove or disprove this?)

 

1. How can I used the Beta Version? When the new patch will come out?
2. I undestand that wizards needs scrolls, they are limited, but why sorcerer?
3. I am creating a sorcerer/paladin, Am I correct to presume that she will loose only 2 9th levels spells? (I think i'll keep the Time Stop...)
4. Actually my characters has now levels 5, so she is higher than the barabarian...

 

The sorcerer doesn't "need" scrolls per se. He can't learn new spells from them the way a wizard can. However, a good supply of scrolls is very useful. Sorcerors can cast spells from scrolls even if they don't know them, which can be invaluable. Also, scrolls are helpful in adding more spell power during long quests. This is important if you don't use the 'rest at will, instantly' method that the official campaign defaults to.

 

I Still prefer to have the money and to decide which spell to use.
I also find the idea of random treasure problematic. It's means that some players will be able to finish the quest just because they got the right treasure before...
As for a Sorcerer/Paladin... I realize that my elf sorcerer with 16Dex is much more powerfull in shooting arrows (d8 with the longbow *6 attacks bonus) than in casting offensives spells, at least for the time being, as a paladin, she gets her CHA bonus to her saving throws, an immunity to deaseases, smite evil, aura of courage etc, I'm also adding Point Blank Shot, and user her also for defensives/handicappings spells (grease, sleep,) at least till she gets some really mean attacking spells

 

The sorcerer vs wizard debate has been done to death. Very generally, CRPGs favor sorcerors over wizards because of the relatively limited spell selections available in the game. There are 42 (!) first level spells just in the PHB, not to mention the various supplements. NWN has, what?, 10 or 15? There is a huge difference between possibly knowing as much as 1/3 of all the spells and knowing barely 10%.

Anyway, NWN's grossly simplified resting rules greatly reduce the value of scrolls since you never *need* to push on past the limit of your memorized spells.

 

Well, if i've enough money to buy boots of stiding + 2, which surely improve my constitution, before the fight with the gaole, the fight will be easier...

 

Probably a bit late reply, but when you kill the Head Goaler(sp) the Devourer comes out of his head.
(A Intellect Devourer sucks up your brains and then finds a nice cozy spot to live)

 

Well, ikt worked fine in the previous version, but not in the new one...

 

Ronen - try the newly released 1.22 patch. It mentions a problem with the Devourer not spawning (you can read it on the front page of SP).

 

Thanks, so there was a bug...

 

well.. this is true for when you're wandering around or have a series of fights and want to run off to a closed room and rest inbetween them all... but how about durring a battle and you run out of spells? scrolls are very usefull then. also, when you can only know X number of spells per level, its nice to be able to have access to the others via scrolls.

 

Wemm I'm using my sorcere as an archer, she is much better for the moment (level 4) with the longbow than with a offensives spells, so I use the spells mostly as supportives and handicapping (Armors, grease etc...) So 'I'm not running out of spells... By the way, I also gave her 2 levels of Paladin, with impreessionating results.

 

a good place for treasure to is the gaurd towers you need a lock picker thoguh or the lock spell ... i only use my sorc. as a spell slinger with a staff in 1 hand and long sword in other : )

 

I think that the reason for the intellect devourer not appearing is because you cast a sleep, hold, etc spell on the half-orc just nearby, it seems to trigger some bug that prevents the devourer from appearing after you kill the head gaoler. To fix it, I would just go back to a save before the half-orc (you do have one, right ).

 

What do you mean Shadows? what towers?
I just cast mage armor, but since I'm a sorcerer, how can I fight without spells?

 

in front of the main building you leave from( the temple) there next to the ramps down . the dorr is locked. all you need to do is pick them or hit them with 1 or to magic missels etc. and they will blow. there is 2 tower 1 straight ahead of the helm preist byethe claok tower and it is behind the beggars. and the next is behind the gaurd straight in fron of the entrance and to the left a little.. hope tht helps
