I'm very new to NWN2 so I may be doing something wrong. Here are my current feats. I am level 8.
Toughness
Knockdown
Improved Knockdown
Weapon Focus (MorningStar) (For Bone Phoneix)
Cleave
Great Cleave
Dodge
Power Attack
Luck of Heroes
Tower Sheild +1 and Blade of the Gladiator are my weapons
Perhaps the game is just getting harder? Or do I need to change my gear/feats?
Any advice welcome! ^_^
EDIT: Forgot to mention I am a fighter class (8) lol |
A. The game is getting harder.
B. You have a -2 penalty for a Tower Shield vs. a Heavy Shield.
C. A "lot" of damage is usually the result of sneak attacks. A high Spot and/or Listen skill should alert you to Sneak Attackers (attacking a Sneak Attacker before he/she attacks you removes their Sneak Attack). Remember not to get "flanked" - i.e. put your back (literally) up against the wall when fighting them. Spot is preferable (over Listen) in that a few Sneak Attackers have feint ability which allows them to Sneak Attack without the "sneak" part, and a high Spot will cause the feint to fail.
D. You should have selected Blind Fight by now.
E. Don't use Power Attack (that's -3 penalty).
F. Dodge is nearly worthless.
G. You should have at least full plate armor on.
H. Toughness on it's own isn't worth a whole lot, but in conjunction with Steadfast Determination (if you have SOZ installed), can be exceedingly useful.
I. Strength should be your dominate attribute (both for attack bonuses and damage bonuses when in melee combat). This is the attribute that should be selected at each level-up.
J. Occasionally make use of your Knockdown ability (move it from your feat discription onto one of your "quickslots" and after doing so click on it and then on the opponent you want to use it on).
K. Pick-up Weapon Specialization (after getting Blind Fight), for your morning star and start using it.
L. Enjoy the game difficulty, but if it's to difficult then consider adjusting the difficulty in the game settings.
