Neverwinter Nights impressions thread

Great game. The game crashed on me all the time but since the update to 1.19 it works just fine. 😀

I was flipping through planetneverwinter and I saw the knockdown feat. There are NO requirements to use that feat! It looked to be a very, very easy way to get in a cheap shot. Hell, even a mage or a halfling with single digit strength could bum rush in and execute it knocking a high level fighter to the ground. Or, at least that was how it looked to work in the info sites that I was reading.

In the game, are there any saving throws that you can make to prevent a knockdown from happening to you?

You have a -4 penalty to HIT with a knockdown.
The target makes a Fortitude saving throw against the knockdown (taking into account any modifiers such as size, strength, etc.) and if it passes is shown as "Knockdown: Resisted"
But I usually use it against pansy ass mages. Stops them from casting any spells and once they're down I have like a +6 modifier to hit meaning their skull caves in instantly when I critical them with my Harbinger Kin Greatsword +3.

And FYI, Halflings should NOT use this feat. It does not work on creatures bigger than you. If that was so I'd be knocking down Fire Giants and Dragons, and that's just not fair...

I think the game got easy when I started getting multiple attacks per round - at LV19, I have 4 attacks with +37 / +32 / +27 / +22 to hit, each doing 2-12 + 17 + 6 + 3 damage. Since my sword is Keen (improved critical range) and I have improved critical: greatsword I do double damage about 1/3 of the time.. this ends up averaging 80-150 damage a round.. Muahahahaha...

If you bought an RPG, especially a D&D based one without any knowledge of the rules/classes/skills/ect, and didn't expect to spend a lot of time on it, then blame no one else but yourself for not finding the game entertaining.

RPG's ARE NOT quick playing games.

One word for you...DAYUM!
But while I'm playing BG2 with TOB addon (can't afford NWN yet) I've had Sarevok do 200 damage with the Silver Sword which is a +3 two-handed sword. Also 10% chance to die upon successful hit. He's a tank in the game!

I need to stop reading this thread, otherwise I'm gonna end up buying the game and forsaking sex with the wife for a couple months...🙁

The 3rd edition D&D rules are MUCH more combat friendly. Attack percentages are WAY better than than they were under the old 2nd edition rules. They also have a much more friendly critical hit range, and have far more feats/skills available to fighters to add extra damage on top of their base damage.
