Bosmer63 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm pretty new to D&D in general, but lately I've been playing NWN2 and enjoying it immensely. Now, every time I encounter a monk, he just kicks so much 4$$ it isn't even funny.The dwarf dude from the first NWN game, khelgar (better than fighter khelgar in my experience), ribsmasher etc.Now I would like to try out a monk in the MotB campaign, but every time I build one he just ends up.. well, not very good.I've tried several builds and asked my friend for advice, he said wisdom is much much more important than str and dex and that is what I should be focusing on. What do you guys think?Actually dealing damage is important to me, but the main problem so far is that I die too easily. Thanks in advance, though it's probably gonna be some time before I receive any replies. I swear, the community of this game is just dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurianaValoria1 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If you're talking about the Vampire Monks, I know what you mean...they're awful! :P But yes, high Wisdom scores will allow you to unlock better feats for your monk. It's these feats that really make them more resilient, deal more damage, etc. Strength and Dexterity are important for dealing and avoiding damage, respectively...yes. But Wisdom is the key for monks. I always go with this on leveling attributes: when in doubt, click "recommended." Also, any chance to upgrade your equipment, take it, even if it means draining your money supply. Monks are vulnerable in that they don't use any armor to speak of, so be sure to get those Boots of Striding +6 and those Robes of the Shining Hand. It does make a huge difference. And invest in potions of Heal as well. Lots of 'em. Also, MotB introduces and interesting prestige class called "Sacred Fist." http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Sacred_Fist You'd have to take at least one level of a cleric or favored soul and be sure to grab the combat casting feat...but that looks like it might add a little punch to your punches, so to speak. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1shop Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Here's what I've been playing lately: http://nwn2db.com/build/?1356 It's quite fantastic. (pun intended huehue) Edited May 1, 2012 by B1shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkalezth Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Your friend is wrong. Focus on STR or DEX, the former grants more damage, the latter, better defense. WIS shouldn't be a dump stat for a monk, but not the primary one either. Start with around 14 and leave it there. The Nexus forums aren't the NWN2 community.
