Yeah - we've actually already got more ideas than we have hands to implement them all, but feel free to post suggestions none-the-less.

Item Level 35: +4 Dodge AC, +7 Move Silently, 20% Weight
Item Level 40: +5 Dodge AC, +7 Move Silently, 20% Weight

Basically, I'd like to see a limitation of generic DR and physical immunities, adding some penalties to wearing these "tank" items. The light gear would be used to avoid getting damaged, the heavy gear would be used to absorb lots of damage, and the medium gear would be a compromise between the light and heavy gear. Just some ideas to throw around.

As you can see, the highest weapon enhancement would be +4, which means stoneskins and +5 DR armor would be useful. Also, classes with access to +5 weapon spells or enhancement bonuses (ex. AA, Ranger - though I'm not sure if Bane of Enemies is the same in NWN2) would see these bonuses come into effect. I've not played NWN2, so I'm not sure how the DR and immunity system is there, but I did read about material-type (iron, silver, magic enhanced) DR introduced. I suppose these factors would need to be taken into consideration when designing the weapons and armors. Again, just some ideas tossed into the hat (by all means not perfect).

if i recall correctly nwn2 follows d&d 3.5 rules, which means that the damage reduction system has been reworked and no longer has a bypass enchantment number.

basically it's all dr x/<type> now. so stoneskin is now dr 10/adamantine, for example. no amount of enchantment bonus will bypass it, but any adamantine weapon will.

you can have say, dr 10/magic, in which case you have dr 10 vs all weapons unless they are magic (of ANY bonus), which will bypass it.

so no need to engineer things to take stoneskin or premo or anything else into account.

under your scheme gmw remains useful, however devs will have to decide whether to allow more than one enchantment on a weapon before we can see if gmw is worthwhile (if you can't flame + gmw... gmw goes out the window past a certain level).

Assuming NS5 is NWN2, there would be a cap of 20 currently.
But, it's such a draining job that, until you've DMed on an NWN server yourself, you the playerbase, have got to cut the DMs some slack. - Flailer

i'm pretty sure an expansion will push that level cap past 20, so i would recommend planning with that in mind rather than getting caught by surprise halfway through the project.

For item level reqs we will be doing some special twists to it, so setting it up per level just wont cover it, but I wont reveal to much of that, except its a system that I atleast haven't seen anywhere else.

The expansion is coming -- with epic levels!

We know that at least ns5 will be designed with the knowledge that lvl40 will be possible, where 3 and 4.0 focused on 20 as the max and updated after the fact.

I'm wondering what the PRC rules will be since there are more of them, modified ones and the possibility to make 3-prc toons! (will ns5 be 2-prc max? or 1 like 4.0?) I think you could hold off the limit if you divide up the PRCs per faction in a creative way -- to eliminate uber-cheese.

i had an idea of limiting the number of PRC levels you can get by the number of clasees you have. IE if you want a 30th level RDD you need to be pure bard RDD or sorc RDD if you add another class your RDD is limited to 25 lvls or whatnot.

so if one wanted 3 PRC classes they would be max of 5 on each PRC or something along thoes lines. but i wouldent object to having a 2 PRC limit. 1 PRC limit seems a bit much as we can have 4 classes now.

but in general some limitations are in order for thoes stretching their toons to 4 classes max 15 on reg classes and 5 or 7 on PRCs? something to reflect the fact that its quite hard to focus on anything when going with 4 classes

The specific NS4 class restrictions/changes were mostly ad hoc like you said Celorn.

With NWN2, since you already have to download something, hak isn't a big deal anymore, and we plan to make that as easy as possible. So that opens up changes to classes, spell lists, etc that weren't available to us on NS4 and below. PRCs will need to be gone over (just like every spell/ability/etc).

Epic levels that soon though, bleh...at least we know about them this time and Obsid devs expressed that they wanted to do the epic content better than Bio did.

if it can be dev implimented within the confines of NwN2..

Give a command that allows a summoner to command his creature to target the same thing he is.

All to often, my summons will ignore the biggest threat (the one i myself am concentrating on) and run off to kill some randomly close mob, or one of the mobs summons, or a mob that isnt a problem at the moment. (and yes, i know about the guard master command. but when you're fighting against a group, still dosnt help much)
