9/11/2023 0 Comments Arcane trickster guide![]() The main problem with Arcane Trickster is that it is low BAB and you have to hit things to deal sneak damage to them. Access to good magical gear before Sand shows up (and without delaying Dinosaur companion or some similarly powerful feat on NPCs like Elanee, if you plan on giving her crafting feats) is a definite plus. Versatility when it comes to what spells you can cast is also a big plus.įinally wizards are better at crafting magical gear. Wizard also gets a bonus spellcasting feat every 5 levels (bonus feats are always good) and you really don't need extra spell castings if you plan on sending your arcane trickster into melee often. Wizards make ideal arcane tricksters because INT gives you more skill points and tricksters have access to a lot of good skills - even Bluff can become an offense skill with the Feint feat. Anything that can potentially cast spells like Mordenkainen's Disjunction can turn battles with just that one spell. And yes, access to the wizard/sorcerer spell list IS a really big thing in NWN2 especially since arcane trickster grants spell progression with levels. Even good CHA-related feats like Divine Might and Divine Shield (with cleric levels) aren't as attractive when you already have the wizard/sorcerer spell list. Sorcerers are rather meh as arcane tricksters unless you're going for some sort of spell gimmick like using lots of ranged touch attack spells, because raising CHA (for your spells) doesn't really do anything else for the build. ![]() Ideally bards are also a lot better off going pure, or at least until around level 18. ![]() Note that in NWN2 you also have to factor in combat preparation and casting time, and while your character is still going through bard songs and spells, skills and items, and arcane trickster and thieving skills the battle may already be half done (I'm assuming you picked bard because for its party-wide abilities, so you have to go over those each battle). Arcane trickster already carries a lot of utility, adding bard to the mix just complicates things needlessly. ![]()
