New prestiege classes

Post by Spartan » Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:08 pm

I'm not as up to date as most on current NWN goings on.
This may be old news. Also, remember which forum it's post in. NWN general, not AVLIS. My question is targeted towards NWN in general and not specifically avlis, so dont cry.

Has anyone taken a look at the prestiege classes listed here?

http://nwnprc.netgamers.co.uk/manual/index.html

if so what do you think of them? Some of the classes look pretty bad ass to roll play. I specifically like the first of raziel and the vassel of bahamut.
I'd love something indept like one of these, lots of new feats.
The epic spells on that site i listed and pretty nice too.

They have elemental savants. Those are always nice, especialy since they come in multiple varieties, both arcane and divine versions, and four different elements... for a total of eight possible 'flavors' for the class. It's also nice because it's a class that could fit any alignement.

I'm pretty sure it's been brought up time and time again and always turned down by the team.

I believe that the reason is the incredible resources required to implement a new PrC, particularly throughout Copap.

However, give them a try in single player, because a lot of them are quite fun to try out. Others are sickeningly overpowered, but fun to try.

Oh, and I have to say I love the Tempest class.

I agree i do not see the team on avlis implimenting the prestiege classes int heir world. Which is why i intended to point out this was posted in the NWN general forum :)

i'm just curious what players think of the prestiege classes as simply that, prestiege classes. some of them are fairly over powered and might not lend themselves well to an RP world, let alone one with a unique history.

Wish the fist of raziel class had nicer abilities

We have custom PrCs here. They're called Holy Warriors ;).

Yea, too much work is involved, I believe. For such things RP will have to suffice... no game mechanics to represent a drunken master...

However, a lot of the new alcoholic beverages have a new alcohol code, I believe... some grant stat boosts/penalties, even temporary DR, i believe....

I have been hoping for a good (and Good) wizard PrC. As a Ghost Elf I can't get arcane archer, and the only wizardly PrC is Pale Master. That uber-necromancer in no way fits with a good-aligned mage, so there are no PrCs for me... :cry: :x

There's no good way to do spellcasting PrC's with the NWN engine, which is why the only thing you ever see out there are modest kludges. Psions are the best way I've ever seen it implemented, and man if that wasn't a shitload of work for Mr. Nathan, and still is.

Speaking of custom PrC casters being possible....

What are the chances of getting the white necromancer done up like the psion?

Doug figured out how to count PrC classes for caster lvl. and you can already give out spell slots.

I think, with some horible amount of work, it would be possible now.

That is my opinion, not nessasarily anyone else's opinon, might just be, but that would be a coincodence, and damnit, sometimes the crap I write is not even my opinion either.

It's rather low on the priority list.

We still have basic tasks that we cannot get done.
