Question about stat gear

[Dale]

Helloes, I have a question...

What stat gear should I expect at higher levels? And more importantly, should I adapt my character to odd or even gear? I've heard that stat gear maxes out at +3, but that doesn't necessarily mean there's +3 gear for every stat. And maybe some of the +3 stuff occupies the same gear slot...

I'm clueless

In a more specific case, should I end with 23 Cha and 15 Con on my warlock? Or rather 22 Cha and 16 Con? Or would a mix of both (one odd stat, one even) be better?

+3 items drop for any ability score, for any kind of item, it's essentially a matter of patience

[Dale]

Thankies!

+4 items exist and drop, but are very very very rare. Unless you plan on being around for years, then you should end your stats on odd to maximize potential.

Missed a few "very's" there mrieder...

I'm rebuilding my warlock after having discovered that there is no actual use for the crafting feats (other than wands) on the server.

Still need some help getting started. Didn't want to create a new topic, so I'm just dropping my questions here.

1. Should I invest in Spot/Listen? So far I've encountered very few sneakers, like those batiri slicers and some of the gibberlings.

2. Should I get Blind Fight? Are there many concealed enemies at higher level areas?

3. Are there bags of holding on the server? I plan to start with 12 Str and I wonder if that is enough for carrying loot/healer kits.

[Valefort]

1. You found the majority of sneaking mobs already.

2. Not many concealed enemies even at higher level areas.

3. No and yes 12 str can be enough.

blindfight is a melee only feat, no bags of holding at all here.
spot/listen depends if you have some spare points, barely needed in PvM, more or less often used in Events (but you'll have to get in any events first ), useful in PvE. In general spot is more useful as it helps against feint.

Thanks for the replies.

blindfight is a melee only feat

That's not true, ranged touch attacks or ranged attacks in general can miss due to concealment too.

From the NWN2 wiki:

This feat negates the +2 AB and flat-footed bonuses from opposing invisible (as under the effect of an Invisibility spell) creatures. This only affects melee attacks with melee weapons; ranged attacks do not apply no matter the distance they are made from. It has no effect against Ethereal Jaunt and stealth however, which still have flat-footed bonuses (although these abilities never offer a +2 to AB).

Not sure if this means it only effects melee attacks made against the toon with blindfight, but I always thought blindfight only works in melee...

I prefer to have all my builds have at least 13 str. The hassle of inventory weight can really drain the fun out of playing.

Blind Fight basically does two things:

1. it allows you to reroll your attack whenever you miss due to concealment, no matter if that attack was made with a melee or ranged weapon

2. like you say, it protects your char from getting sneak attacked by invisible opponents with melee weapons

Do you plan for PVPing? :p Because those sneaksters are really high on hide/ms, and blind fight would be useful against arcane displacement spells.
