Ok, down to business.

AB... 25+ 16wis +5DF+5DP+1aid+1prayer+1bless +2 battletide = 56 AB.

AC... 10-1 dex+16wis+ 5 natrual +5 deflection +5 armour +8 tumble +2 armor skin + 4 haste (dodge) = 54 AC. Alternatively, use full plate and Tower Shield, and get the same AC, but with less touch AC.

DCs... 26+ Spell level.
32+ Spell level for evocation.

DC 44 Implosion self buffed.



In an ideal world, with +5 AC boots and Longbows, and an item with +7 to wisdom, and +12 to dex, we have

A DC 48 implosion.
61 AB.
65 AC.


here are similar builds (30+cleric, CoT levels).

Wise Elvish Priest (Clr 30 / CoT 10)
-- avado
(Clr 34 / CoT 6)
-- ChaoticBlades
Divine Terror (Clr 30 / Mnk 2 / CoT
-- GhostNWN
(Clr 32 / CoT 6 / Rog 2)
-- Gothic90
Holy Nuker (Clr 32 / CoT 6 / Fig 2)
-- Kail Pendragon
Divine Hunter (Ran 2 / Clr 32 / CoT 6)
-- TyrTemplar


Of these, Wise Elvish Priest isn't disimilar, but actually focuses more on combat. 34/6 is focused very differently. Divine Terror 'abuses' using Kamas for very large numbers of attacks per round, but is, at its core, like this build. 32/6/2 is very similar, but gets less DC and caster level. Holy Nuker has a lesser DC, and lesser caster levels to gain more melee presence. Divine hunter focuses more on AB.

This cleric gains a large number of spells per day, can do respectably at range with a longbow, and has killer spell DCs. Ideally you should try to utilise spells like Hammer of The Gods and Sound Burst to get quick stuns on poor will foes, Implosion to slay high will foes, and Sunbeam to debilitate low wisdom foes. Word of Faith will blind your foes for a long duration.

With a Spell Penetration check of 42+1d20, a pure clerics SR of 51 can be penetrated over half the time, and when that happens, there is little doubt Implosion will fell them.

Your team should love you, with 7 mass heals per day preventing them from dying, and up to 7 ressurection reasurring them they won't stay dead for long.


Well, I think thats all.

Finally, you can optionally drop all monk levels, and lose 4 AC for +2 caster level, and all it entails.

why not take 20 bg pre epic

beats 10 druid/10 bg

It's pretty nice but I think Weapon Proficiency: Mace is not a very useful feat. You will melee with kamas or use your bow, which gets such a better AB you could even forget the melee. So, I suggest you drop WF and grab Blind-Fight.

Edwin Odesseiron - Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn You need weapon focus for champion of torm. Thax is right, WF mace is a waste of time, use WF morningstar instead.

Oh man, I'm so out of date I forgot that. I should install again NWN right now... or maybe later.

Don't follow the saving skillpoints, distribute them at levels you can take them at, if that makes sense .

Thanks for the walk down memory lane, 2005!! i was young, handsome, unmarried, no kids, and didnt know a dam thing bout clerics! LOL

The elf priest was a concept build. Like i said in the posts, i would NEVER play it as i did it (which is the way alot of builds are done, fyi). It was NOT melee focused, no more than this one. The cleric IS a melee caster. You will find it very painful to play a cleric with ONLY offensive spells (painful in the boring and restrictive sense). The guy you did has enough that melee would be no troubles at all.

Now, this appears to be a "born at 40 build",why on earth would you waste a feat on wf:mace or morningstar?

You are using 2 3/4 BAB classes, so why not take monk1 at 17 or 18 allowing you to take WF: KAMA (a MELEE wpn) to qualify.

Now, the wisdom mod in the AB section. Maybe my math is wrong, but lets see: 38 wis - 10 = 28/2= 14 AB, not the 16 you posted. Maybe im wrong.

The other thing is, we typically DONT post ONLY the buffed ab. We post what the AB actually is, esp since the spell durations are all different.

The bow damage isnt that good. You really need AA lvls to add to the damage (or div might with lots of charisma). This build is strong, overall, but like i found in 2005, just didnt kill fast enough for my liking! LOL

Suolucider, Blitz 04, avado, Quisition, Boourns, ... welcome to the guild! Anuis


Makes me feel OOLD!! May not kill fast enough, but a combination of high spell DCs, the ability to utilise nearly any combination of gear, and the fact its playable at nearly all magic levels.
Also, unlike you, I play in PWs where it doesn't really matter how good your character is, healing will be required. So high wisdom caster clerics can be good with healing. This toon IS focused a lot more on spells than the average joe cleric.

Also,

AB (max, naked): 25 (melee), 39 (ranged. 14+25 = 39.

I gave all AB after that with all buffs. To be honest, you're more likely to only us round/level ones at the shortest, and so have 5 less AB than a stated due to the loss of divine favour. Playing in melee is perfectly feasible, and this build is not born at 40. Implosion/SoV/HoTG etc. can supply much needed spells, and given you still have 39 DC will save Hammer of The Gods. This is a party build. Not an *I can solo every monster in the damn book* build. He also enjoy the second most spells per day of any build IIRC. sorry bud. Yeah, high dcs are nice. I built a PRC divine dude with an implode of 56 or something ridiculous (which is impossible on nwn vanilla). I've been there, done that to the extreme, and literally made and wear the tshirt. There is nothing wrong with the build.

What i was suggesting had to do with "power", which, and i cant believe i am saying this, wisdom clerics lack.

Now, if you were serious about DC caster, you would have done 2 schools! LOL, which is something i did many moons ago aswell. You can wrap it up any way you think, but ive done it, sorry. To say "party" build.. sure.

LOL Infact, iirc, Torias was the very first wisdom cleric (he used a sling), so really we just copied the master...

I agree with avado, Storm of Vengeance rocks, it stuns great, it can deal heavy damage over time, and Evasion doesn't work against it, you should try it in your strategy as well, too bad it's conjura
