As probably everybody else, I too made mistakes when building my character and leveling up the others. Too many moving parts, and I didn't understand everything at the time (nor now ofc). For some other games there are build calculators where people can plot in attributes, skills and so forth, to help with planning their character(s). Not an easy task by any means for such a complex game andruleset as Pathfinder, but is there anything like that anywhere? Even if for the tabletop game? (much should be the same from what I understand)

It would help people like me to make fewer mistakes next time through. Maybe even try to get some complementary characters without trying to make it up as you go.

install bag of tricks. open google doc. Draft a few class spreads. Make a character a few times in-game. Write down whatever matters. Done. Don't need an online tool for that. Rough draft takes like 5 minutes, if you are not obsessed about documenting everything about it.

Although I agree, nwn2DB equivalent for PK would be handy.

I'm on Linux and it looks like both Unity mod manager and Bag of tricks is Windows only, though it may be possible to get them to run via Wine. If Bag of tricks then basically hooks into the game itself while it's running, things may not play so nice together. Therefore an online tool would have been great, but it sounds like one doesn't exist. Maybe if the sequel is a bigger hit commercially, a tool like that will be developed. Would be great to be able to fiddle about with and plan out character levels.

Looks like Bag of tricks is a cheat tool, which presumably ignores rules set by the game. However, I imagine it could still be useful for stuff like this, as long as it's highlighted in some way when you break the normal rules.

I use it for build testing. It can give exp, items and has enemy spawner among other things, so...

edit. IDK. NWN2 did get the tool and I didn't hear about the game breaking any records. So, it's more about if someone has enough time and willingness to put in the effort. Although I don't think it'd take a lot to adapt nwn2db for PK.
