Gerin: I just cracked open NWN2 for the first time YAY! My question: I like to play a paladin with a two-handed sword, but I find that in a lot of games the good lot ends up being longswords so you'd be better off with a LS + shield. Will I gimp myself if I start with a weapon focus on GS?
Also if you want to throw in any useful starting tips I'd appreciate it.
Thank you
It's been a long time since I played this game, but here are some things you could Google if no one replies.
- Does Greatsword have a 1.5 STR damage boost as it does in some DnD games?
- Does 2-handed weapons (Greatsword since you're asking) have a weapon reach benefit? (1 for smaller; 2 for larger)
- Critical Chance and Critical Damage multiplier was also a factor for weapons. ( I think GS was 19-20 CC / x2 CD)
There's may be others factors worth looking up that I can't think of at the moment. I recall playing some DnD games with Pikes or Halberds or Glavies because they had better reach. (I'm not 100% sure, but I think Temple of Elemental Evil was one such game)
Sorry I couldn't give you more direct answers, but maybe this will still help a bit.
