Mad3: You mistook weapon focus with weapon finesse.
-Weapon focus increases AB+1 for 1 type of weapon.
-Weapon finesse lets you use your dex instead of strengh for AB,
if dex is higher and you have a light weapon or a rapier.
Opps yes I mucked those two up sorry.

I think in NWN2, when a medium char uses a medium weapon, the strengh bonus damage is 1.5 when your off hand is empty and 1.0 if you use a shield. Same for small chars with small weapon. But after all those dicussions I am not 100% sure anymore.
That would be news to me, are they talking about the oc or a mod world… Some people claim that small weapons give a ½ str bonus and tiny weapons do ½ there stated damage but I've never seen any evidence to support these claims so I don't pass them on as a rule.

By the way:
I never used smite evil. From the description it sounds like you have 1 attac in this round and this attac adds your cha modifier to AB and your pala/DC level to damage.
Sounds like a bad choice to me if you can have at least 7 attacs per round (6 base + haste).
I don't use smite evil much as it's just a way for me to get epic smite but I do use Bond of Fatal Touch on many of my characters and that is a single attack so your smite evil description as a single hit sounds about right… my point was allowing for just the str bonus (which is typically all that’s displayed on the character sheets) won't ever give you the entire potential of many builds.

p.s. nice white knight build ;-)

Yes, if your offhand is empty in NWN2, then you wield a medium weapon with two hands by default and gain the 1.5x STR bonus to damage.

Mad3: Is there a similar character builder to create NWN1 chars?
I want to test something first before playing the char, because I have the NWN2 rules in mind and it might not work if I try to make a NWN1 char.
There used to be an Excel spreadsheet tool called 'Kamiryn's character build calculator' available on the nwvault, but I can't seem to connect to the vault anymore. Other than that, I can only recommend planning your build on paper, and then building and testing in a character builder module. Not sure where you'd pick one up though if the vault is down.

If you dual wield, you have a factor of 1.0 for the main hand and 0.5 for the off hand.
I am not 100% sure and I am also nut sure if this is for NWN1 or NWN2 or both.

I also think that the factor depends only on weather you use the weapon 2h, 1h or off hand but not of the weapon size.
Of course you cannot use any weapon size as 2, 1 or off hand.
I am also not 100% sure about this.

True for both games.

This is correct.
