I vaguely remember needing an X number of BG levels to use it, but I'm not sure. I assume you're talking about the Unholy Halber of Doom.

My char has 26 BG levels and can use it.

When you build the module what is the order of the haks and 2das that are in it?

Since this hak is not working, it might be better to remove it so its easier for new player to join the server.

I remember that we tried on your server even before this HAK file and it worked. Honestly it seems to be some issue with the server configuration, maybe something is out of order and is being overriden, or some option is disabled/enabled, i dont know. That is the only thing that explains this given that the exact same mod works whe you launch the server.

I managed to log in, but the PM AC is still bugged. Missing 10

*: Good or Evil in order to use Flame of Udun (Best Great Sword and it has +10 Taunt).
**: Since AC doesn't really matter here, you could change Tumble for Open Lock or some other skill.


With the correct gear you could get 100 Taunt while raging. With all of that you could Taunt pretty much everything even without a Bard.
Terrifying Rage is quite nice if you have high Intimidate. You could get 70+ Intimidate with the correct gear. That would give your aura a -7 AB/Saves for enemies that fail your 46 - 67 Will Save (36 - 57 for characters with Mind Immunity).

A good hitter with a little extra. Good dmg/apr, great AB and nice aura.


An alternative would be to go Wemic starting with 23 Str. It would end up with +3 AB but lose the 1.5x dmg modifier.

Try using the port 5121 for that ip address.

Hmm that's weird, maybe a port issue? Server is up and running

The steam version you need to subscribe to cep in steam workshop.

The server address should be the same.

The server shows up in this list? https://nwn.beamdog.net/

Just search for lotr, but again, you need to buy NWN: EE and then install CEP to login.
CEP installation differs if you buy the game from Steam or GOG.

Server is alive and well, but it moved to NWN: EE so you need to get that first. It should appear on the list then. Also after that you just PM Grey to get your old toons back.

Me and Sky killed Smaug today and his chest was empty. Seems to be bugged.

Something to consider. A Wemic RDD going full STR or a Brownie taking as much DEX as possible would fail the ELC validation?

Because they can start with 25 STR/DEX, respectively.

I actually made this last night after you logged. Same levels but different lvling scheme.

I got 15 barb pre-epic, then assassin till 19, 4 hs 1 assassin and last hs. I also dropped IKD for Toughness and skill focus discipline and also got epic skill focus discipline.

Starting stats were different too. I went with 14 con 16 int and 25 dex. Will max at 50 dex if im not mistaken.

With regards to items i sacrificed ac amulet for dex. That allowed me to pretty much max str/dex/con/int from items alone. 7 less AC though but I could maximize discipline. I think im getting +47 from items alone plus +15 from focused so I dont really have to worry about KDs

*: If you go Martial Weapon, you could get Bling Fight pre-epic getting Great Dex instead, also drop Epic Skill Focus (Discipline) for another Great Dex to end with +1 AB/AC or you could simply switch exotic for toughness and leave the rest as is.


I quite enjoy this build especially with Kukri that has 12 crit range with keen. Having such high AC with Epic Dodge you can even be a great secondary tank.

The main issue with this build is the lack of CON and Disicipline, one KD and you're done, also not sure if it's a good solo build because the damage is mainly from sneak attacks (14d6), but I guess this could solo some bosses that are not crowded with defenders or if the defenders are weak.

AC: Depends on the gear. Mine gets 87 AC with all buffs, 97 with Improved Expertise.
AB: All buffed up this build can get +20 ab and loads of attacks per round. Now since this build is dual wielding kamas, it's kinda tricky knowing the correct AB. It seems like it's different everytime, but all buffed up you can get to 70 ab with 12 attacks per round. Although I managed to get to 75 AB a few times.

*: If you want to make Mordor you can start as Monk and pick Neutral or Evil Alignment.

The gear for this build is kinda constraint since you need to maximize Dex/Wis/Cha/AC. The priority should be getting +12Wis/Dex/Cha over Str/Con from items alone and the highest AC you can make.

I am using Robe of the Tree Court, Greater Halo, Blessed Cloak, Unnatural Gift, Bigby's Bane, Amulet +7, Nazgul Clutch of Life and Nazgul Fleeting Step.

The only two Kamas that I know about are from Mordor Goblin, you can find him in Mordor controlled outpost and in the areas before Barad Dur, the one with two towers. The other kama comes from Dragon in the snow mountain after Dale.


The saves of this build are insane, you will pretty much have to roll 1 to anything to fail.
Fortitude: 44, Reflex: 60, Will: 45. With Divine Wrath that goes to 53/70/54 and that's without any items with saves.


I'm gonna be honest, I have mixed feelings about this one.

Pros
The AB and AC are definetly good, saves are insane. The damage can be high will all those irresistible damages, every hit does around 40 to 50 dmg with 12 attacks per round wich is good for a dex based build.

Cons
Survivability is really bad, the HP of this build is really low because I had to focus on others stats
Buffs barely last for one boss fight and that is the mains problem of this build.

Actually I would say the duration of buffs is the main problem with paladins/champion of torns in general. The duration of the buffs are pathetic and you have very few uses a day.
Without the buffs the AB of this build goes down to the low 60s or high 50s wich is pretty much nothing in high level raids and most of the damage goes away too.

I really think paladins/cots are in need of some boost compared to barbarians, rangers and blackguards. The mains issue is the duration of the buffs compared to other classes.


If PvP was still a thing, this would be a very good build for it though.

Looks nice. The Wemic and Brownie really add something to the mix. Been thinking of some builds using these races.

Ah yes, the classic Barbarian RDD. Used to be my favorite hitter untill the change to BG Bull STR. This one is definetly better at surviving though will all that HP.

Back online

Server just crashed

This top hak issue might be the case aswell for the soundset.2da file. In legacy NWN all you needed to do was put it in the override folder and use all the voices when creating characters. I get the feeling that in NWN:EE you can only use all the voices if the server has the expanded soundset.2da in the module as a top hak.

The buffs come from shape spells. Azer (Outsider Shape) has a special Divine Power that gives +6 AB with 28 Shifter lvls, Vampire (Undead Shape) has Blood Frenzy that gives +7 AB with 28 Shifter lvls and I think Dragon has +6 claws/bite? Not sure. Also Iron Golem (Construct Shape) has Mass Bull Rage that gives +10 AB.

Although My ab doesn't seem to raise after Divine Power and Blood Frenzy, so that's enough for the +20 cap.

AC: Depends on the gear. Mine gets 90 AC / 100 with Imp Expt. Focus should be getting +12 dex/wis from items
AB: This build can get +20 ab by itself wich is 67 with monk progression of attacks. It can get 9 or close to that or attacks per round all buffed up.


Dragon Breath: This is the best part of this build. The breath has DC 51 and damage is 80+ for dragon shapes.


Shifter shapes: Because you have all the shapes, this build can do a lot. Can be a tank in some places, a hitter, caster, support. It's probably the best solo farmer in my experience. If you know what to do, this build can solo Osgiliath bosses/MM/Saruman/Galadriel/Thranduil/Dale/Thrall/Henneth/Pelargir King/Baragor and that's just from the top of my head. Probably a lot more.

*: Since theres no more alignment restrictions for classes, you could go Neutral Evil/Good to have access to more weapons that are Evil/Good only, like Flame of Udun, which is, in my opinion, the best weapon for shifters. Of course you should test it in test area first to make sure it works out.
**: Weapon proficiency is just to have a wider variety of weapons. Only the weapon damage bonuses goes to shape and only if the shape doesnt have that same damage bonus. I chose Martial so I could use Baragor Axe (Great Axe).
***: I picked Empower Spell back in the day so I could use empowered ice storms with rakshaa shape. I understand that in EE you can't use metamagic with shapes and it seems it can't be helped, so you could pick another feat of your choosing. Like taking Monk at 39 and getting Exotic to have even more weapon variety.

Gear that I'm using for reference: Robe of Mist, Bull's Hair Belt, Bracers of Dextery +6, Elven Battle Priestess Helm, Greater Ungol Ring, Lesser Ring of Orodruin, Morgothu's Choker, Nazgul Fleeting Step, Blessed Cloak, Baragor's Axe.

Indeed is not working. My SD tank (16 PM levels) is still missing 10 AC

Yes I do remember this issue with the Diamond version. I sent a support ticket to them and they provided me with 3 valid keys, for NWN/SotU/HotU.

Now this problem remains for EE aswell?
Because I can't login with the GOG key even when the server is empty and I don't see other peoples characters on my account. I also don't get the message of Duplicate CD-Key.

I can even pick or create a new character, but after that when it's going to load the map, it says that I have been booted.

Now is that a problem with the CD-Key or some server script? I could send you the public key if you want to check it out.

In any case I did send a support ticket to GOG, but I couldn't find anything related to invalid multiplayer key for EE, only for Diamond.
