In NWN, all int is used for is Skill points and Wiz spells.
Does it do other stuff in PnP?

Drudley · Sat 03/01/03 4:11pm

Dont forget the ability to talk...

Math?

ShadowCore · Sat 03/01/03 4:22pm

Yes, in PnP it allows you to behave correctly and stuff. But other than RP stuff, which makes you able to talk and think, it doesn't do anything.

I use it as a means to rp my character (a low int character would act dumb of course)...and well when it comes to my Int 32 illusionist, well that's a little tougher cause that's godlike intelligence, but I try to play her as smart as I can. All in good rp experience and learning.

in PnP, there's a lot more skills, so int is more important. You really will have a hard time getting away with a 6 or 8 int character in a PnP game, and I usually make sure I have at least a 14 in it, no matter the class.

some Fighter feats requier 13 Int like Disarm and improved disarm.

Maul'Kin · Fri 03/07/03 5:53pm

and imp knockdown

Conrad Hollows · Fri 03/07/03 11:04pm

INT also has a modifier on your search skill

Skills affected by INT:
Disable Trap
Lore
Search
Spellcraft

But I guess this isn't the point. Heh

Maelstrom696969 · Sat 03/08/03 3:14am

Spellcraft can be pretty important. Remember that for every 5 points you have there, you get a +1 bonus to ALL your saves.

Little Teapot · Sat 03/08/03 3:16am

ALL!!

Glorin · Sat 03/08/03 4:13am

how many is "all"?

Little Teapot · Sat 03/08/03 4:39am

Uin · Sat 03/08/03 4:53am

Not all, all saves v spells, not "all".

just another way to pimp out... i was the first one ever using improved knockdown and sh!t so you can just shake shake it homies.

HAHAHAHA cant touch this... you so badly wanted it but all you are is a copier and a fake, and a sad one at that...

bwuahahaha to all you pimpy lamers out there that think you got it whooped.... you can never compete with the master

ShadowCore · Sat 03/08/03 12:58pm

How about : Monks.
They get your improved knockdown for free, Jon. Muahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Conrad Hollows · Sat 03/08/03 11:16pm

Yeah but monks don't get the great attack rolls that a fighter has.

Glorin · Sat 03/08/03 11:20pm

yea they just get a million attacks

Little Teapot · Sat 03/08/03 11:26pm

and some poison immune, and d20's for damage...

Kindo · Great Deity Joined: 21 Sep 2002 Posts: 4068

I know people always tell me I'm wrong, but I still think Monks are a bit too powerful. Just looking at all the "free" stuff they get makes me feel sick.

1d20 base damage with striking at +3 enhancement
7-9 attacks
High AC (for WIS)
Speed (50% increase just like haste)
Immune to Poison/Disease
Spell Resistance 30
50% concealment (that's like 50% of attacks missing!)
Immunity to Mind spells
Damage Red 20/+1
PLUS all these free feats like Cleave, Imp Knock, Imp Evasion etc etc.

I am sorry, but can someone remind me of what the drawbacks are, again?

Little Teapot · Deity Joined: 11 Sep 2002 Posts: 2332

d8 hp, too many helpful stats (making it harder to have a monk that's amazing and still be able to take a hit) 2 skill points/level, no weapon spec, 2 less equipment slots... anything else you need?

can't wear armor
can't wear shields
can't be a nonlawful alignment
base attack bonus is equal to a rogue, not a fighter
crummy skill selection (hide, move silently, listen, concentration)
discipline not a class skill
poor hit dice, d8, I think

D8 hitpoints isn't crappy tho.

Thank you for that quick and elaborative answer/s. >

the drawback is that i kicked a not so powergamed monk's ass without being hit.

i really think a fighter can well enough beat a monk

Yes, I do, but it was solved a while ago. Redstorm(Cain) was attacking me, while having unholy auras stacked, I tried to avoid him, and when he attacked AGAIN I did win.

Oh, maybe that was the time Cain got banned or something. I am sure he was banned.

ShadowCore · Great Deity Joined: 25 Nov 2002 Posts: 2833

He was? I didn't know he ver got banned, I did know he got kicked out of LGoG twice(so he was a really bad boy), but not that he got banned.
Anyway, that must've been about two-three months ago, a couple of weeks before that anti-ele shield stacking script, so it's all done with now.
