What has happened to nwn?  In ECB we ALWAYS discussed based on GENERAL nwn, not specifics.  The entire argument for unarmed IS environment dependant, which should tell you something.  I am at a loss.  I can only pray that nwn will not continue down this path, though it looks to be the case. 

Good point qaerinju. In these days, if there is any module that do not have any custom items and any spell/class/feat changes, i eat my socks! Which is also reason why non of the build in ECB was for any good to me in past, when I couldn't build on my own. Now, I only look to search engine if there is that build I made up for the purpose. Looking inside the build always discovered pretty odd choices of stats/feats and skills.:innocent:

EDIT: I mean, even monsters are part of the environment, so every module has different one. Whats the vanilla build with scimitar to me when the module is full of undeads? Well thats propably another topic, but well you started it...

The entire argument for everything is environment dependent. How many servers are vanilla NWN? They're massively outnumbered by servers with changes to this that and the other. Long live variety.

I agree with that.  The difficulty comes, when things like this come up (this thread), what do you discuss?  Do you talk about the General, or a specific?  Since the General is applicible to all, then it is best to talk about that.  Regarding a specific server or mod, then that applies to ONE, which is best discussed on that mod or pws forum.  Remember, this is nwn GENERAL forum.

That was why, in ECB since 2004, we talked about the General.  When you understood the pw or mod, then it is a fairly trivial matter to tweak for that mod.  It is, however, a very different story to try to go the other way (or it can be). 

WIth regards to pw modifications, these used to kill populations on pws.  We had PRC and no new people joined for long periods of time even though it was a truly amazing server.  If that has changed, then it is a good thing for nwn, and it would explain alot about alot.   This has been extremely humorous because I was always the one who played on Modified servers, yet I was educated in nwn character building enough to be able to talk vanilla or otherwise.

Actually, in ECB everyone talks about a very specific set of circumstances. (+5 , no?)  There's little doubt (IMHO, tho I might argue for +4) , that +5 and all the other restrictions are a very fair set of rules to discuss builds, but it is a specific set of rules. there's nothing 'general' about it. 

... oh and 'general'? As in
                                                                               NwN 1 General Discussion Forum  ,  has a completely different meaning, no?

...A shame you didn't pay attention to the monk discussions on ECB, because then you would know where I got the information I posted from. '>   Then I tested it of course, and I repeat, for a given level of item (e.g. lvl21 items) you can get significantly more magic on gloves than on a weapon.Try it, no?

have fun '>
