Pure Class Builds

Yeah Deicide, I hope I didn't come across wrong. Your suggestions are a good idea.
Since pure class bonuses will be post epic, is there a way to give stat increases in terms of bonus feats like gr cha, gr str, etc? This way they would affect the base stats. I rarely have seen someone use a greater stat increase over VI anyways.

Sorry for a second consecutive post.

Is there anyway that pure class pallys or BGs over a certain lvl could detect evil and good alignments respectively? That would be a nice effect if it could be done.

Additional spell slots for pure class rangers and pallys and possibly a lvl5 spell slot at some point might make a nice bonus. Allow the use of extended spell on some spells... just a thought, haven't considered it that much.

Actually, soon is a good timeframe not only in freaky-deaky Neversummer time, but in the real world too - we have all the bonuses for four classes all set, give or take, but we're short on the Dev muscle to cram them all into a tiny phone booth for at least 14 seconds to win the prize and put them in live right now. And considering the module is always about one to two hours away from completely exploding at all times, I think it's best we keep the basics running for a bit!

i think it was clerics and wizards, cuz they were only doing the underpowered classes that needed help

I would hope that paladins are on the lists, even in front of clerics. At least the cleric gets the instant party in the form of a solar (or some other companion) at higher levels. I've seen clerics of the same level solo areas that I couldn't dream of doing simply because of their summoned companion.

wow, almost a 1 month bump on that one

i am sure we can all assume the pure class bonuses are comming 'soon'

Sooner than you'd realize.

And FYI, Wizards/Cleric/Druids/Bards are near the back of our Pure Bonus priorities.

Pure wizard could use some help though. By not taking levels of PM/SD or some other clases/PrCs you dont gain much and suffer very bad survivability. (Low AC and so on). It is much cooler to be pure wizard though, thats the only reason I am sticking to it!

Um....sorry but then something, somewhere must have went horribly wrong with your build.

The only classes that are getting pure bonuses are that ones that need it, mind you. Casters rule NWN in terms of PvP, and PvM. Epic Mage Armor gives +10 to AC, and the mages have a ton of other buffs to boost that even more. They can kill monsters and players immediately with Wail of the Banshee and other death spells, while other characters have to do it one at a time. We just got done nerfing the casters, why would we give them bonuses?

mmm, no ....

i have to agree with Fricebottle here ......a pure wizard built properly is fine ...and if you want to add cheese a pRc is not necessarry there are plenty of other cheesy options to suit ppls needs.

just a guess, but i'll bet Ftrs, and maybe rangers will be the first to experience rejuvination
