O.K., I have never used Pale Master as a prestige class,but I am wanting to try and get a good build for the character. Having read the NwN wikipedia on the class, I'm still a little confused on how he gets his spells and spell slots.

Could someone please enlighten me?

Thanks. Pale Master gives you a slot every 2 levels, while wizard and sorcerer give them every 1 level, it ain't that confusing really, you just gain a slot half as fast as a wizard would. But you don't learn new spells on PM levels, only slots, so it can be a waste with Sorcerer having spell slots of levels where you haven't learned any spells.

Thanks for that Thax, it useful to have someone wise enough to enlighten us who reside in the dark Take note that PM levels don't add to your caster level though; they're determined solely from your casting class levels. So a WIZ 10/PM 10 will have the spell slots of a level 15 WIZ, but will only have the caster level of a level 10 WIZ (for durations, damages, and chance to beat Spell Resistance).

Just to add to the question, I understand your reply, but the server I'm playing on at the moment will have legendary levels soon, so is the Pale Master capped for slots?

I am thinking of this wiz build:

22 wiz/22 Rogue/16 pale master

any suggestions of other combos? I have already taken these classes.

Thanks again Well, taking 10 levels of Pale Master gives you Critical immunity (and sneak immunity) but after that, if you're already a caster taking caster levels are better, or your spell penetration won't beat anything. Focus more on the Wizard, I think Wizard 31 / Rogue 19 / Pale Master 10 is better.

Duly noted and again thank you for your piece of wisdom I dunno. Depends on what your goal is, but with that many levels to work with I would go for the Demilich myself. 30 levels of PM, 21-25 of Wizard for casting power and 5-9 of Rogue for skilldumps.

The demilich would be a very useful summon, even on a level 60 server

With 30PM your highest skill dump for rogue is level 20.

Not in a level 60 build (reference 4SakN's post).

Oh, I thought that that the 21-25 of Wizard for casting power was simply adding half the PM to the wizard level (effectively 6-10 wizard). I didn't notice the comment on legendary levels.
