Unsure what class to pick

[Soggy]

I always have trouble picking a class, any one have one they particually enjoyed or recommend to play

[Revelanth]

I thoroughly enjoyed playing a ROG/WIZ hybrid.

[Doomvora]

im thoroughly enjoying fighter/blackguard focused on greatswords

What do you want to be good at? And how good?

Rogue 1 Shadow Dancer 2 Wiz X ASOC 10 is a pretty straightforward skill monkey/wizard. You don't really lose much to gain the skill access, trapfinding, and HiPS+Evasion.

Monk2/DruidX is pretty simple and all around beefy for PvE. Pet + full spellcasting + decent fighting and armor

My main suggestion is ignore optimization. Pick a character concept. Like "Evil necromancer" or "Crowd Control guy" or "Brute strength warrior" and then optimize around that idea. Play something that appeals to you first and foremost or you'll just reroll anyway.

Depends which campaign you're playing. For example, the original campaign has a lot of undead, so it would be a good idea to pick a build which at least doesn't have a hard time with those (e.g., sneak attack builds are going to have a harder time). I the original campaign is pretty easy though, so not much to worry about.

I personally had a good time going through the OC and MotB with a Warlock 28 / Rogue 1 / SD 1.

[BENGALI]

Theres so many! But as others said, depends on yor playstyle. A wizard will be muvh togher, at low levels, ANd you must learn to stay back, and let the dwarf start the fights.. Or be a druid. they got shapeshift, and also many powerful spells.

I think i am making a badger specific driud

[Soft Lockpick]

^Really bad pet choice, or an epic troll.

Seriously, if you're going to go druid, avoid badger. It's the worst one. Worst in a "totally ineffective and bugged" way

[Soggy]

i want to shift into badger, have a companion badger and summor a badger

[Soft Lockpick]

Well, I mean, you can. Frankly Khelgar can win the whole game for you if you need him to. Just don't expect to be any good in a fight with your main character.

[Brayzenn]

I favor Druids also but just can't see badger being my thing,,,,Dino for pet, Treeform for my main and , mybe(or maybe not), a bit of monk to help wildshapes...then progress to elder elementals and further into dragon-form! Dragon is the reason for druid for me! LOl, dunno how tough they are I plan on making one work for RP reasons though.....Have fan at whatever you try!

[Malaficus Shaikan]

You remind me of me.
Took me several years before i choice moon elf wizard so dont feel bad.

A brief summery of my point of view:
Fighters:
Boring, dull and unintersting.
I dont like warrior classes so that isnt suprising.
Beserker.
Slightly less boring then fighters because of the beserk skill.
Tempery invincibilty for the win.

Rogue:
Backstabing, thieving little vermin.
I trust them to betray me at a moments notice.
Yet there skillset is undenyable usefull.

Druid:
Between shapeshifting, powerfull spells, pets and summonings.
Aswhile as divine magic meaning you can wear all armors no problem.
Druids are a good class for doubters.
The biggest problem i have with druid is the alignment limet.
I just cant stay natural.
I am to much of a nice guy.

Cleric:
Overpowered in the original campaigns not so much online.
Cleric are powerfull healers, buffers and better then paladins at there job.
Cleric only downside is that while powerfull his spells are rather dull.
Good, usefull and powerfull but ow so dull.

Wizard:
My favorite.
Wizards cant wear armor(not without getting some feat who's name i cant remember)
Die the moment you sneeze at them.
And get one hell of a disatvantage early levels.(tip use range weapons)
But there the most fun class in the game.
Arcane spells offer alot of veriaty.
Scribe scroll means you be hunting scrolls to fill your spellbook.
(divine casters get all spells lucky basterds)
And the high intelegent neccery for the spell gives you alot of excess skillpoints.
Your familier is like your pet.
Cant fight but just cute to have around.

Sorceror:
Less spells but can use them more often.
(No scribe scroll)
More combat focus then the wizard but none of the fun stuff.

Favorite soul:
Combat focused cleric.
Less spells but can use them more often.

Spirit shaman:
Druid spells and a few nice skills(return spirirt and spirit that walks)
Best of all no alignment limet.
Less spells but can use them more often.
But also no shapeshifting or pets.

Ranger:
Discount druid without shapeshifting.

paladin:
Discount cleric.

Sweasbucker:
Crossbreed between rogue and fighter.

In NWN2 I was never able to shift away from the Sorcerer/Paladin combo. Back that up with Eldritch Knight and Arcane Scholar prestige classes and you have the very definition of a battlemage.

Metamagic works incredibly well with Spontaneous Casting (i.e. the kind the Sorc uses, don't have to pick spells in advance) as you can choose to burn a spell level use to amp up one of your lower level spells on the fly.

Granted, this does mean you're stuck with Lawful Good and I personally restrict myself to using Aasimar as my race when doing this... but I tend to play like that anyway.

[WickedRequiem]

Well, Aasimar is the best race to play as a paladin/sorcerer anyways, so... I don't see any drawback from your "restriction".

[[UA] Duckstep]

Play it the fun way. Use a random die roller to pick you race and class and take over from there XD

[RC]

Fighter, rogue, weapon master.
