Hi kind folk.

Does this build still work / is it legal?


I am pretty sure this is my build. Will need to double check once i have downloaded everything again

Hello, and welcome back! I am unfortunately unable to help you with your build, but believe it best to relay the following announcement from the BGTSCC discord, as expressed by the server admin:

In the interest of user safety, it is recommended that players forgo the use of nwn2db for builds due to the website being compromised and a security risk. Because of this we are no longer permitting links to this site and encourage the use of Dae's character planner: https://charplanner.bgtscc.net/ in its place. Though it is currently a WIP as seen in the SVN feed it is being worked on in earnest. Saving will be available over the week. Thank you.

Before sharing the build further, it is suggested that you recreate it in the BGTSCC Character Planner. Good luck!

You've already gotten some good advice in NWN2DB. Apart from that, the domains for Ilmater are: Endurance, Good, Healing, Law, Strength, Suffering
See here: https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Deity and you can find the domains here

Also, since you're going 20 Monk, you could also consider going wisdom based, and using Intuitive Attack, though you need 2/3rds monk at all times for that to work.

Nowadays, the rule is changed to 3 by 30, instead of 3 by 20, so that gives a bit more breathing room too.

Also, the advice regarding nwn2db aren't bad ones, though your mileage may vary

Good luck and have fun!

I've played a Sacred Fist that went the route you took and one that went heavy focus in cleric with a little monk. I can say your AB suffers a little with your current build. You'll be fine against any mob but some bosses will be a struggle to hit consistently. Some I know to have AC around 52. Cleric buffs will help with that but you won't have many and they won't last long. It is a fun build and works for 95% of the server though if that is what you want to stick to.

For that build, I'd agree with not going dex based and going intuitive attack, choosing your levels so that you keep to the 2/3 monk at all levels.

You also won't need to get disarm as a feat since on BGTSCC, you get all those basic combat maneuvers for free at level 1. At 8 monk, you get to choose between improved knockdown, improved disarm, and improved grapple. I would highly advise ignoring knock down and just stick with improved disarm. Disarm is very useful on the server and knock down is very buggy, with enemies being able to get up quicker than they should be able to and interrupting your flurry at times.

Since you wouldnt have to pick the disarm or knock down feat, that gives you an extra feat, and since you are going wisdom based (assuming you took all the advice given) I'd get fiery fist for added damage. There are some other feats you might want to take along that line and replace blind fighting. As much as I like blind fighting, it is situational where as extra damage is always helpful.

The server also allows you to pick armor skin and epic prowess as many times as you like. Since you don't have many cleric levels I don't think you are at any risk of ever hitting the max 20ab cap so I'd suggest exchanging 2 or 4 great dex/great wis for epic prowess. Your AC should be okay without them, but it is mostly the AB you'll feel.

The build will work as you have displayed it though aside from the domain selection, I'd advise strength and law for divine strength at 3rd level and aid at first level allowing you to cast extended as a 2nd level spell or save all your second level spells for extended divine favors.

That's my two coppers.

Welcome back. As Missclick stated, we don't reference the site anymore for reasons. In response, the current planner we do have is amazing. It will list the correct domains with the gods chosen, and what those domains give. This makes it easier to plan clerics and even select all the spells and skills associated with the build.

If you can, recreate the build using the BG planner and posting it here and it can be discussed more widely.
