Class power rankings
Does anyone have strong opinions about the better classes in NWN? Also, how good is the ranger class late game?
引用自 wendigo211:
It's largely a game of multiclassing, so ranking the base classes doesn't have a huge effect. Anyway, the base classes, in terms of descending power (for PVE):
  • Cleric. I don't think you'll get any argument that Clerics are insanely powerful in this game and 3.x in general.
  • Sorcerer. Slightly stronger than wizard since they can leverage charisma more than a wizard can leverage intelligence. You also don't need to focus on too many spells in NWN. That said, like the Wizard, the class has a bit of a learning curve to it.
  • Wizard. It's a bit more beginner friendly than the Sorcerer because of the larger spell selection.
  • Bard. The Bard isn't as strong as it is in NWN2 (or 3.5) but it's still pretty good and pairs well with the RDD prestige class. A lot of its strength is in Bard Song+Curse Song.
  • Paladin. Basically a Cleric with fewer spells.
  • Fighter and Barbarian. Fighter is better for multiclassing, but the Barb is a bit better when kept pure (there are only so many feats you can take as a Fighter).
  • Druid. Druid isn't a bad class, but it gets hurt badly by having a horrible spell list in NWN.
  • Rogue. Don't go for dexterity in NWN, as long as you make a strength rogue it plays fine. That said the class' defining feature is Sneak Attack and about 1/2 the bestiary is immune to it.
  • Monk. AKA the class that needs every ability other than charisma. It has some uses when multiclassing. In particular the class' attack schedule and Flurry of Blows ability in NWN is exploitable.
  • Ranger. Ranger is a mix of fighter, druid and rogue and it mixes those classes in such a way that there's absolutely no synergy in the class abilities. It's actually impressive that WotC can make a martial class that's so horrible.

Out of curiosity, how do you rank the classes from strongest to weakest?
I know it is not me, who was asked but...

The strongest as pure class is Cleric. No matter how you looked at it, this class has everything you need to survive in basic campaigns and many general ones by community. Offensive magic, buffs, healing, ability to wear armor without penalties to spellcasting.

The weakest as pure class is probably Ranger. This class, despite being martial is too module depended and require you to have prior knowledge to play it well. Other martial classes are more efficient and do not require to wear light armor.

The strongest for multi-classing are Sorcerer and Bard. I mean both those classes could get a level or two from other classes, like Paladin or BG (the most obvious ones) or concentrate on martial classes after some investment (RDD helps a lot in this regard). Of course, you should aim for buffs and utility spells for the latter choice.

The weakest for multi-class is probably... Wizard. As pure class it is very srong. Especially if you know what you need to do. But its main stat can't be used anywhere else (many skill points is nice but kind of hard to utilize considering how NWN is built).

I like me some Fighter with dual wield Bastard Swords. I know, its not the usual boring Sword and board for front line tanking, but eh, its fun enough. I like bastard swords and I like duel wielding. It takes a few lvls to get bonuses to overcome the huge DW negatives, but its fun and kinda nutty once it gets goin.
