Shifter
I figure later on AC will play less of a part short of being a super monk focused on it. So might as well get a few lvls of defender to shrug off some damage.dwarfstr 8dex 13con 14 (16)wis 17+5 from...

I just saw that the Stone Golem has the special ability "Throw Boulders". As far as I can tell, that makes only two forms that have a ranged attack (manticore and stone golem), though I might have...

Georg from the nwn forums basically said he removed ranged attacks from most forms (drider/kobold) because archery in general is weak.Also, while gloves are nice, the weapon properties might be the...

It might be better to add just add some shifter gloves. Applying weapon properties to all 3 unarmed attacks can get out of hand. (+5 holy keen dragon claws & teeth, anyone ? :-) ) We'll have to...

I posted earlier and thought the gloves didn't work but they do. The numbers just don't show up on the character sheet. Also you can still use the shield with the gloves and have your sword in hand,...

I guess the problem seems to be that the character sheets are not updated properly. If we just look at the rolls, it seems to make a difference.My new question is, does adding 4 fighter levels before...

Sure it does. Here's the breakdown. But if you don't feel like reading it I basically say...."Defender/rogue/ftrs can't keep up to hit as well as a dragon. They're short by -4 to hit even if you're a...

In my post I was talking about getting all 10 shifter levels before 20. Then it takes 7 fighter levels to get the 4th attack. I tried the ranger boots and the haste doesn't transfer to shifted form....

So, Waper, the extra attacks given by the BAB do correctly translate to the shifted forms ?Artic, boots are considered an item; currently, we follow the polymorph.2da file in determining what things...
View ArticleRe: Shifter
Yeah the number of attacks transfers correctly.A shifter 8/druid 8/ftr 4, or ftr 7/druid 5/shifter 8 would have it normally. If you take 9+ lvl of shifter or druid pre-epic, you basically can't get...

I guess I'm having a problem understanding the idea of giving the shifter the bare ab necessary to function. Could someone please explain why it would really hurt for them to have a decent ab. And you...

Its not really the bare minimum, its even, or surpassing most builds natural AB.I crunched out the numbers, AB is exactly comparable to a defender with a +5 weapon, if not better via iron golem, which...
