Feat/Skill/Feature wishlist thread

[Krieg_Engineer]

In the latest (as of this post) Beamdog stream, the devs mentioned they'd like to hear what feats, skills or features the community would like to see in NWN. So here are some of the things I'd like in the game and anyone is welcome to contribute to this thread.

-More choices of animal companions and familiars. Ferrets, owls, toads and salamanders come to mind, especially since wizards with owl familiars are such a staple of Fantasy in general, how could they be missing from the base game? Perhaps some of the smaller animals could be implemented as inventory items, like Boo the hamster was in Baldur's Gate.

-"Binder", "Favored Soul" and "Archivist" classes.

-"Contemplative" and "Dragonslayer" prestige classes.

-Feats: "Magic Initiate", "Cadaverous Familiar", "Leadership", "Mentor", "Obtain Familiar".

-Having the models of certain creatures (kobolds, orcs, goblins) show equiped armor and helmet.

1. Tiefling and Aasimir sub races PLEASE!!!! You have a tiefling head in the choices for Humans. IMO We do need the sub races instead of just typing in the subrace we want to be. I'd LOVE you guys if I could have the (I think I remember it being) +2 DEX and +2 INT.

2. Shadow Thief prestige class. I remember it being NWN2, and I appreciate it if you would add it to NWN.

if possible monkey grip, the ability to wield a 2 handed weapon in one hand allowing you to dual wield them if you wanted to, Has a STR requirment (lets say I donno 16/18) and has a -2 to attack rolls to hit if used in one hand (it's still unwieldy to use)

[Dysmetria]

My suggestion would be to add all of these new rulesets, feats, skills, classes, voices, portraits, etc. to a new expansion pack, along with new tile sets and building tools for the world builders, a new single player epic story to wrap up all old story lines for the single players, and a new UI for everyone.

And remember, for every person that is upset you didn't redo the whole game so it would look a little crisper on their 4k monitors and high end graphics cards there are two of us that bought this game because it will run on our old machines and laptops that are grateful you did not.

I'd like more prcs, mostly. I don't even care which ones, just more

[Snusmumr]

1. Manyshot, maybe improved rapid shot. Archers feel weak right now.

2. 4th multiclass slot to increase build diversity

3. Sticky combat mods. It is quite annoying to constantly turn them on.

4. Improved combat ai for PC. For example you are playing a melee character and have 4 attacks per round. Lets say you kill a mob with 2 attacks and if you dont have cleave feat, all other attacks in that round will be wasted, which is rather annoying.

5. Some sort of Experience tweaks for OC and HOTU (I didnt play other campaigns yet, so cant say for those). The OC feels very slow and unrewarding (especially the first act).

6. General UI improvementa. For example with boots of speed and rapid shot you get 2 bonus shots per round, but UI only shows the normal number of attacks.

I haven't read through all these so I'm sure I'll just be repeating some things.

More prestige classes please! Arcane Trickster; Arcane Knight; Red Wizard; Blade Singer; Berserker; Ghostwalker; Chain Fighter; Duelist; Cavalier; Artificer; Thaumaturgist; Mystic Theurge and Ninja would all be welcome additions.

I don't know if you guys can implement psionics some how but I would welcome that as well.

More monk weapons like nunchuks; tonfas and also greatclubs would be cool, (like a large samurai style kanabo).

Definitely more familiars and maybe reworking their level up system to be more in line with 3.5?

More player races like dragonborn; tieflings; Aasimar/Deva; grey orcs; yuan-ti; gith and goblins.

Really small request but please add a spinning animation to the sling weapon? Right now, it's just a small leather bag that sits on the hand when it should twirling; TWIRLING towards victory!

[PureRok]

I see that Monkey Grip was already suggested, but I figured I'll give my +1 for that, if that effects anything.

[Dysmetria]

1. On PWs make it so we can select another player's character on the list and click something to send them a tell.

2. On your server list show the names of the characters that people are playing in them and the server details.

3. Put a character builder on your website.

4. Make weapons like whips currently not usable in the offhand able to be used that way and give them an animation.

[DarkFire]

A small quality of life request: scrollable inventory screens! If I hear that 'this inventory screen / bag is full' ping sound ever again... I fear for the safety of my keyboard.

[Aetrion]

I want the Archmage prestige class where you can exclude friendly targets from your AoEs and stuff like that.

I'd also like to have feats like Improved Familiar that allow you to make your familiar stronger.

[Gojosin]

Personally, I'd like to see Shifter get a bit of an overhaul and rebalance to make it actually more worth taking than sticking to druid.

[Dacryphilia]

A fixed Parry.
And the warlock class!

[captainwiseass]

I'd kill for an implementation of Mystic Theurge that didn't require an associate's degree in compsci for me to add to the game.

So with you on the warlock class @Dacryphilia, it is the only reason I still bother with NWN2. It really was/is such a unique class!

[Dingbat]

I have a couple requests:
1. Fix the store so we can buy multiple items in one go.
2. Some eye color for the head models.
Thanks!
