Ultimate loot grinder

Unread post by CommanderKrieg »

I'm trying to make a toon that simply is for the gold. Goes places to kill monsters for gold. I need a build for the ultimate in fighting bosses and selling junk. Anyone know a good build for soloing content and collecting gold? Something with as few equipment requirements as possible!

nwn2db seems to be down. Bard 26/R4 (evasion/expose weakness).

STR - Max
DEX - 14 (18 w/ Nixie's Grace)
CON - 10-14 (depending on items/preference)
INT - 10-14 (I like to go 14 and get Improved Knockdown)
WIS - DUMP
CHA - 13-16 (depending on items and if you want to require them to cast spells)

Use a Longsword and Mithral Chainmail.

Good Feat options: Practiced Spellcaster, Curse Song, Lingering Song, Extend Spell, Luck of Heroes, knockdown/IKD, Toughness/Steadfast, Power Attack/IPA, and Blindfight (pick 7 or 8 if human).

Epic Feats: If you will party with others get Chorus of Heroism, otherwise skip it. Epic Prowess, Expose Weakness, Song/Hymn of Requiem and then just take Great Strengths.

Max Appraise, Concentration, Tumble/Spellcraft to 30, rest is your choice.

*Shrug* Its preety nice having multipule options of survivability exspecially when fighting epic level bosses.

If hes just talking about running around for chest i would recommend an archer instead.

sacred fist runs fast. kills bosses. can get more done between rests. lightweight gear so can carry extra full plates around. its a real money maker commander. you will prefer soloing with it as everybody else will be eating your dust.
