Greetings and questions

Hello Sundrenites,

I recently bought NWN 2 and MotB and decided to look for an interesting persistent world to check out. And so I find myself stumbling across Sundren and thought I might see what it's like.

Anyway, I was just thinking of what kind of character I wanted to make and came up with either a Sorcerer or a Rogue. I mainly wanted to know how Rogues are in this, and if they are at all different from the OC. Meaning, could a Rogue actually stand up in a fight all on his lonesome? They have good AC with enough dex but what about damage output? Can you hide in plain sight and be able to get surprise strikes or is that still only for Rangers (something that seems kind of odd to me) and Assassins? I know this all sounds like a powergamer's load of questions but I do honestly plan to role play, I just happen to have really bad luck when making a character, I end up choosing someone that just doesn't seem to survive so good =/.

One last thing, are there poisons that Rogues/Assassins can apply to their weapons?

See you in Sundren!

Hey there!

I don't think rogues have been changed (at least not significantly) for this setting. If you want hide in plain sight, you'll need to go shadow dancer or assassin (or ranger, but need 17 levels). Don't worry too much about surviving: you start at level 3 and groups are generally easy to form/find.

Regarding poisons...*looks to the others*

Welcome to the server. I know you'll love it.

Welcome to the server, and the simple answer is: Sort of.

Firstly, nothing is really meant to be done by a single person. As a rogue sneaking about is very viable. If you want HIPS though, you'll need to go shadow dancer to level 4. I wasn't aware that Assassin's got it at all, but Ethelo says so.

I know of trap kits and such, not to sure about poisons as my rogue character doesn't actually like combat hehe.

Generally speaking, most PCs can't stand up to any fight that'd actually give them xp if they are alone, be sure to always adventure in parties (the encounters on this server are designed for party play), particularly given the new death system (see here)http://www.sundren.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6307. Party play is the name of the game; make some friends to back you up before you go out to hostile areas (it's more fun that way in any case) *does a Baldur's Gate "Gather your party before venturing forth"*
