I played a NWN2 roleplaying persistent world a few years ago and want to get back into it. I've discovered I've forgotten just about everything build and class related being I'm 'old school' D&D and 3.5 is a completely different game.
But there were a few things I had questions with with this pw and any help would be appreciated. Its never fun to figure out your build can't work on a server at level 9.
I normally play a sorcerer or wizard with HipS. This isn't a powerbuild but a RP build, and will be even moreso on this server with the 19 dex requirement.
So beyond the 19 dex, are their limits to HiPS, or a lot of items which negates this? Also I don't recall if truesight were bugged to show hidden or not with NWN2.
Another bug with NWN2 when I played was that sorcerers couldn't 'unlearn' a spell with level on the PW's at the time. It meant that you had to pick the spells you would want at level 20 at level 1 which was very limiting as a sorcerer.
Old PW player coming back with a few questions.

Re: Old PW player coming back with a few questions.
For HIPs, if you open a chest, it will pull you out of stealth.
You will be able to go back into stealth 6 seconds later.
Monsters have variable spot and listen.
So with HIPS/Stealth you will not have free reign to walk where ever you want to go without being detected.
At some point a monster will detect you.
I'm not sure about the Sorc thing.
We actually managed to de-level a player and he was able to pick a new sorcerer spell which never used to work.
Maybe someone who has played a Sorcerer recently can comment on the spell swap.
I'm fairly sure it works ok though.

Re: Old PW player coming back with a few questions.
Sorcs can switch spells, but...
So if you plan to switch spells, it might be a good idea to download some module like Heroes Creator and just level a sorcerer up and write down, on which levels you can actually switch spells. That way you can plan a bit better, but do not have to pick the final spells right away.
- not on each level
- When you can switch a spell only of a certain circle
- And no more than one spell per lvl max
