The epitome of lameness in all of NWN- the Monk/AA. Runs so fast melee can't catch it, runs so fast mages can't click it. Align restricts, I know, but if u are playing under them you can sub bard for wiz or sorc. Just means you get less ab (unless you use true strike and then called shot would work a lot better).

Here it is in all it's lame glory.

You dont get lower ab with monk/wiz/AA. Go monk 8 wizard 2 AA 10 pre epic and then one more monk in epic. An even faster character also. and with 9monk totally you get imp evasion

but its a freakin lame tactic this runnin and shootin Not that effective either, you spend most your time running away from people and dont get that many shots off anyway. Imbue arrow is nice though. errr you can shoot while running ....ont need to stop shoot , run , stop shoot..just run 'n gun

Ehm, no. In PnP you can. In NwN no. You don't spend your life running away, you just get ahead of the opponent, stop, shoot, then go again when they start to get closer. Also if you go wiz you miss out on UMD and tumble. Monk has tumble and you can still cast from scrolls because you are wizard, granted not all scrolls but most good ones anyway. So you dont miss that much. Good point but that means u'd have to do one of two things- Take another wiz lvl pre epic to make up for the monk so u can take it on lvl 40 OR you can have more monk lvls (9 instead of 6) so you can get it on lvl 40. I was just keen on maxing AA lvls and having the 4 bard lvls pre epic for bab reasons. But that's just cos i'm a pvp builder... it really wouldn't make much diff otherwise. Well you're right about something...it is a lame tactic! I see too many run & shoot Archers on PvP...but it does work, that's for sure...someones justification for the tactic was "it's what Archers do, run & shoot, run & shoot"

...however if they'd checked their history, archers would traditionally advance in front of the melee troops & fire a volley of arrows into the advancing enemy before letting the aforementioned melee troops rush passed them to engage the oncoming enemy...or they would stand fast atop battlements raining down death atop anyone foolish enough to attack the keep/castle...very little running...

Grrr...hear my roar!!! shootin arrows while runnin is NOT a pnp only feat...you can do it in nwn. if someone is chasing you ,you can run in circles all day and get off some shoots without stoping!!!!

monk bard aa gets 1point more ab than the wizzie version Nope they get same ab.
Monk9/wiz2/aa29 pre epic monk 8 wiz 2 aa 10

Monk6/bard5/aa29 pre epic monk 6 bard 4 aa 10.

No difference.

Tell me the game mechanics in this.
If you run with the keyboard, then click your opponent, and still keeps running, nothing happens. just running. If you click to get your char to run somewhere, he stops when you click to fire. But then at least you get to fire. And the he stands there shooting until other orders are given. so tell me the game mechanics in this, how to do it, I'm 100% sure he can't constantly run and shoot while doing it. I also want to know how to do this. Also if someone can explain how to get a called shot every time i try one would be nice. Often it just ends up being a normal shot which is very annoying. you need to run with your keys and continusley click on your opponent
