First time rouge, need some tips

Post by Julian »

This is the first time im playing a rouge, OC, thought it would be a change from the standard pally and ranger.

But have a few questions that would help me:

1. I love melee, gave im weaponfocus rapier, do you find any good ones, or should i make one, im dual-wielding.

2. I picked up Dealan, finished peninsula, should i stick to him or get someone else(lots of sneak attack for me, but crappy AI)

3. I'm lvl 5 now, heading to beggars nest, should i multiclass, as my playing style is very hack'n'slash at the moment, got all XP installed.

4. Last time through i found a piece of armor called Grennleaf, can't remember where though, as i remember it was very good, where can i find it and is it worth using?

Any answers would be nice

1)
Get ahold of a +1 rapier and get it beefed up by the smith in the City Core.
That is a very nice rapier for chapter 1 in my opinion and is what my own rogue is using.

2)
Daelan is in my oppinion one of the best henchmen in the original NwN and I would, if using henchmen, 9 out of 10 times use him as my main henchmen. Even if I was a fighter type.
My advice is stick with him.

3)
Multiclassing is a very personal matter, because it all comes down to what you want to do with your character.
There are pros and cons as always, but rogues make good multiclass characters in my oppinion.

4) I can't remember the excat location of the Grenleaf, and if there is more then 1 of them. But it is certainly not in chapter 1 ;) .

Hope this helps.

1) I seem to recall getting a keen rapier somewhere, but it was probably random.

2) Daelan is probably the best henchman at the start, however Grimnaw (it that his name?) does become better at the end. The rest are unworthy tanks seeing as you are a thief.

3) Do you have any expansions? Perhaps you could consider a fighter (extra feat) or barbarian (HP) multiclass if you need the extra AB or proficiencies.

4) Greenleaf (+5AC +5 Hide armour right?) is a random item in the OC however in SoU and HotU it has a fixed location.
