My new party

Remove all ads!

Hi Folks, Here's my newest party, any input or suggestions would be nice

1 Aasimar sorcerer, main speaker, has 20 cha, 18 int, unfortunately cant take alchemy... switches with 4 in combat

2 Shield Dwarf Paladin 8, Fighter x, takes the Paladin levels for aura and fiendslayer feat, along with heroic inspiration etc. anything past 8 paladin levels would be a waste to me.

3 Half-Orc Barbarian 20, Fighter 10, Fighter levels for feats, Barb levels for tireless rage and the other improvements

4 Aasimar Silverstar of Selune. Standard cleric, has nice elemental legion spell at 9, switches with Sorcerer in combat

5 Wild Elf Druid, This one could definetely be changed a bit, but she does have a few good spells.

6 Drow Rogue, This one works well, has 20 Int and Cha, She takes up Alchemy from the Sorc, but a bit too slowly for when you need it in the underdark, shes a very good ranged attacker, however can a rogue sneak attack with ranged weapons, I know they can in Neverwinter Nights, im just not sure.

I've completed the game already once in normal, but I didn't judge that party to be good enough to proceed to heart of fury, this one was supposed to be better but I can already see a few faults in it. As before any help would be nice

 

You could try:

1. Make your pally/ftr an aasimar (to benefit from the extra CHA).

2. Unless you really want a Silverstar, how about making #4 a dwarf Battleguard of Tempus (wpn focus Axe is nice, and dwarves and axes just go together so well).

3. Unless it's a role-playing thing, you might as well make your druid a human--the extra feat and skill points might come in handy. Maybe even give her 1 level of ranger.

4. Make your Drow a male rogue/wizard multi to take advantage of high INT and DEX.

Take what I say with a grain of salt, as it's been a while since I've run a 6-person party. I prefer solo or dual myself...

 

That's a pretty well balanced party, although I would prefer to go with only 5 members by multiclassing the Rogue with someone else. In HOF, magic is of most importance so your two tanks might struggle a bit, but, as always, given that it is possible to solo this game, any party should be OK.

 

you will have a hard time in HOF with that party!

much to melee-heavy and not one efficient MC-build!

don't think that you will beat HOF that way!

 

Mc? well anyway im thinking of getting rid of druid, but id like to replace her with something else, unfortunately my rogue is a woman, however any multi suggestions for my sorcerers? and does sneak attack work with ranged weapons

 

So no, ranged weapons cannot be used for sneak attack.

 

MC=multi-class.

I left out a few things from my last post.

For your tanks (paladin and barbarian), use a max of 4 levels of fighter--this will allow for weapon specialization and, if you want it, maximized attacks.

Your main casters (the sorcerer and the cleric) should stay single-classed. For both, raise their Spellcraft to 10+ as soon as possible so that you can buy the elemental feats.

If you make a rogue/wizard MC, you probably won't need more than 8-10 levels of rogue.

If you don't mind a Lawful Evil character, dump the druid and take a Monk of the Dark Moon/sorcerer MC. Level him/her at a 2:1 ratio, your option as to whether you want monk or sorcerer to be higher.

 

- the best mix-in for sorc are 2 early paladin levels (you will get awesome saves & have immunity to fear)


- the best MC-builds have ~20 caster levels and take the remaining 10 levels as rogue (3), fighter (2 or 4), monk (3), barb (2 or 3) or paladin (2 or 3)

- if you decide to take 4 fighter levels add (3 monk level if lawfull & high WIS, additional 3 paladin levels when also high CHA - 3 rogue levels and 3 barb levels if not - this results in a 20 - 4 - 3 - 3 MC-build

- if you decide to take only 2 fighter levels you could add one more class and go for a 20 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 MC-build

- as the major class (~20 levels) should be wizard or cleric - drows (m/f) are the perfect race for these builds (most powerfull race & no EXP-penalty!)

- you could always skip one additional class to add more levels of your major class - but the benefits of having much more then 20 caster levels aren't that great!

- exception: I would take one pal 2 - sorc 28 and one pal 2 - monk 3 - cleric 25 to get through SR, have better damage multipliers and for special spells like dispel and lower resistance


- there are a few other good MC-builds leaving the main concept:

- druid 21 - bard 9 (diplomat / party-support / shapeshifter)

- wizard 19 or 20 - rogue 10 or 11 (rogue / spellsword / 1st arcane back-up caster)

...but both only as 5th or 6th party member especially the last one!


hope this helps!
