    Taking all five Fey Heritage feats instead is a wonderful choice as well. 5/Cold Iron damage reduction is nothing to sneeze at, especially when combined with other feats/class abilities that grant damage reduction (19th level Warlock with all Fey Heritage feats gets 10/Cold Iron damage reduction, making the Warlock tank almost as well as a Fighter).
    And Eldritch Knight needs damage reduction to stay alive, since the whole PrC is a waste except for the Rogue hitpoints and Fighter BAB.

    I haven't played any of the Bioware games since the days of BG, IWD, BG2 and Torment. Is NWN any good? I've seen it on the buget label and thought about picking it up.

    NWN1 is only enjoyable with both expansions (the original campaign really sucks, but the expansion campaigns are pure love).
    NWN2 is enjoyable with or without the expansions, just be sure to install the player-made AI modifications.

    I'm contemplating giving NWN2 another go, played it when it came out and quite enjoyed it but got very frustrated with the companion AI. I'm not sure how far I got in the game but I played it for quite a while, I hadn't got the stronghold yet. I was attacking some sort of thief den when I got totally ****ed off. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how far into the game I was (not a lot of info to go on I know) as I don't think I'll bother unless I was less than half way through.

    Look up.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I was actually asking if anybody had an idea how far through the game I was, I had read about the AI mods which was what put me in mind to give it another go. I don't want to tread through the same stuff again only to find I was close to the end.

    You are less than a quarter way through. The campaign is huge so you still probably got at least 20 hours of new stuff left

    Have they fixed the bug that prevented warlocks not being able to overcome spell resistance yet? If they haven't avoid them. When building a mage character, if its for the AI use a wizard.

    Favoured Souls - Superb class, best healers in the game and can deal as much melee damage as fighters with the right feat & spell selection.
