Duration Time on Effects

Unread post by Gicker »

Hi all,

Is there any setting or mod out there that will allow me to see the duration left on buffs and spell effects? It would be helpful to see when my buffs are set to wear off so it doesn't happen in the midst of a tough battle.

Cheers,

Gicker

I remember asking essentially this question while playing on another server a few years ago, and since there hasn't exactly been much active development in public NWN2 tools considering the age of the game (that I'm aware of, I'd love to be proven wrong), I'd recommend the option I stuck to at the time: a scrap sheet of paper, a pen, and keeping an eye on the system clock. May feel a little bit jank at first, but it served me fairly well at the time. On the plus side, you can practice doodling with those things on hand in the downtime.

Yeah, I could set a timer on my phone, since the buffs are pretty much all 1 min / level. Was just curious if there was an existing tool.
