| |  Wizard Power??
Hey guys, I was just wondering how powerful wizards are in NWN. I haven't bought it yet, but plan to.
I was mainly wondering because in BG1, wizards are not exactly "powerful." I was wondering if the NWN wizzys level up faster, memorize more spells, or whatever.
Sorry if I sound a little clueless.

| | Over the long run, Sorcerors are more powerful than wizards and eventually can wreak some serious *hit.
With the "martial weapons" feat, a strength belt and enhanced dexterity, they can even become decent melee fighters; however, I would recommend keeping your distance with a good bow, piercing arrows and high dexterity, while using area spells to wipe out groups of critters. Arnold Schwartzenegger they ain't.
Be SURE to get Boots of Speed ASAP (they speed up casting time and keep you out of trouble).
I used Daelan and summoned critters as my tanks and a pixie to deal with traps and locks. I tried getting the skills for traps and locks but it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to build them up to a usable level. Pixies, btw, are remarkably durable because they're so hard to hit but try to keep them out of the way in tough fights.

| | Thanx for replying
I was just asking because I'm used to games like Nox and others, where wizards are supremely powerful.
Also in BG1, it took a while to level up wizards, and when you did, there wasn't too much of a reward, i.e. when you gain a level, sometimes you get a spell from the next level.
I hope it's easier in NWN (I haven't gotten it yet, but very soon I will)

| | This is quite easy if you ever visit SYM....
As for wizards, I don't really know yet. I just started one and I'm pittyfully weak at the moment. My tank is killing everything and I'm almost always just leaching all the xp. I hope that I will eventually get some real power........ Besides I'm only level 4 as yet

| | Whatever game you play, the thing with wizards is that you need to get past the first 6 or 7 levels before they get powerfull. Fighters are good from the start, but wizards kick their ass at higher levels. At least IMHO...

| | BTW: it is a pitty there are just 2 categories: members and exalted members. Okay you also have the moderators, but they have nothing to do with the number of posts.
At my own site I have like 5 categories, may be also an idea for GB???
