Well, since noone else has posted a build here besides me in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, it is time that I finally post a build, the LAST PRC build, im afraid. It is the last cuz after I post it, everyone will move to PRC and never ever play NWN again! I can only hope and I know this wont be so.
Is this the ULTIMATE char? well, let me explain my reasoning for this.
I) We end up with a pure caster level! THat's right, we get 40 levels of divine caster! This is undispellable! This is 80 rounds of Blade barriers! This is casting extended buffs for soooo long that you could leave and go to work and come back and still be fully buffed!
II) We have 5 (max) levels of Heirophant, which is a divine clerics DREAM!! We get Spell Power +10! For those that dont know, it is +10 to spell DC! This means that with this build and +12 to wisdom, we get a 46 dc on Implosion! Higher than any nwn build (esp with ONLY 19 base wisdom!), and only 9 off the max DC possible of 57 achieved with a wis 38 heirophant cleric.
III) We get EPIC spells! Yes, this guy gets Epic Mage armor, warding and ALL the others (with spellcraft gear).
IV) We get PRC spells. FOr a cleric, we get a simple little level 2 spell, Living Undeath. THis is what I call, "Pocket Palemaster" It grants you immunity to crits!
V) WE get Dev crit at lv 21! Yes a pure divine caster with dev crit at 21! WOW! And the best part is, it works!
VI) We have SoV and Firestorm to take out those nasty crit immune things like Golems and such. I have taken on a map full of gols and been done with them in a mere 4 mins!
VII) Oh, and since hes a cleric, we get Divine power and favor, battletide, prayer, bless, and a few other prc spells to boost both damage and ab to the 20 cap limit!
VIII) Darkfire!
IX) He gets to use a rapier/scrimter! With a nice bard/wiz companion (or a keenable spell from an itm) we get 12-20 crit range!
X) HALF ORC!! For the ultimate coolness factor. And for the newbies to look at you in awe as you have built the ultimate character possible!
Basically, this character, in the hands of a knowledgable player is able to solo almost anything possible! WIth the right gear, he becomes a living GOD!
Are there flaws? Yes, Kill wiz/sorcs before they can breech you! Loosin the buffs can make you weak. But once they are down.
Here he is, my Beast

I know we dont post these kinds of stats, but on the server Beast plays, he already has these!!
So ends the Prc section.... rest in peace
Added lvl split to title - Kail Pendragon _________________
just one question. Why Protection Domain?
Domain doesnt matter. I took prot for something different (the minor globe was nice in lower lvls). Strength could be nice with div power, BUT, playing this guy through, I seem to always have way too many div powers left as is.
Oh, I originally thought that silent spell was a great choice for extra Harms. I took extended at lv 18 for div powers. There is something so right about lv 40 extended div powers! 80 rounds!! *sigh
There are a few subtleties to this build. Remember, IF you try him, you have ONLY lv 4 spells up to lv 23! This isnt as bad as it seems. I delayed heiro til 28, for example, to get the hospitaler odd lv feats done asap in epic, allowing me to add AB (ewf) and get wisdom to 19. You do need to cast lv 7 spells to enter as heirophant, so technically, you could move that around abit. _________________
As a footnote, I am rapidly approaching lv 40 on the pw where this guy was created. I made one little change to the build: at 39 I took silent spell vs gr spell foc!
Why? When I started the build I thought it would be great to have implosion with dev crit. IT turns out that dev crit is so nice that it works best with SoV. THere are alot of undeads on the server so the silent was taken to get extra mass heals and heals. All in all it becomes a personal choice (one of the beauties of clerics is the freedom they allow).
You would have to take Dev crit later on, and the whole thing with this build is to get it ASAP.
Nw, IF you can live with that, then sure. You will have to make the adjustments on your own though. YOu will be 2 str down. You have 2 extra stats to Charisma that you dont need.
When I was a younger player, I too thought that Half Orcs were not that good. As I matured, I realized that not only are they amazing, they are elite to make builds with. _________________
thanks and the builds looks awesome!
Thanks. THe build is actually better than I ever could have hoped for. IF you are able to play the PRC and have access to the EPIC spells... MY GOD!
THere is something so sexy (half orc aside) about a fully buffed cleric (66ab) with over 85 AC with EPic DR and Spell Mantle... ouch. _________________
and I cant get dev crit on rapier, it only works with two-handed weapons

WHAT! Robes? Dude, you are a CLERIC!
I used a scrimter, which i am most certain CAN have dev crit. THe Items are Full plate, tower and scrimter.
btw, I did make a human version of the build! LOL It turns out that you can get the SAME str and such, with a higher wisdom starting (16) and same skills, iirc. You post pone Dev crit to 24, so a compromise of sorts.
and my server's rule states: No caster may use Dev crit
DUDE! Come on over to a real server then. Seriously, we play hard and party hard...
If you need the server, pm me. Ill hook you up. If you like, I am thinking of makin a return with the Human version of this guy.... Thanks for the interest and the motivation!
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

what equipment do you suggest?
I dont see still spell so it will be robes?

this is a restriction placed on you by your server. We do not have any such restriction on the server this build was designed for. It is refreshing to read this build because Avado has been quite vocal about several areas that have challenged this char to the limit. Many of our Bosses are quite formidable, borderlin insane-impossible, but we make them to challenge 3-5 chars of thier level...
I would like to see how this build stands to PvP in our capture the flag system.
we have had an inlux of new chars so i think you will find plenty of folks to party with. Feel free to pm me for a link. (sorry about the side show avodo :} _________________ no matter where you go, there you are!!!
