Hello. I'd like to request some help.
I'm new to PRC, a friend helped me install it last week. I've played NWN1 and 2 before and I always found the class options a bit.. limited. Now I suddenly find myself overwhelmed with the possibilities.
I want to play a unique character, so let me give you a better description of what I think of as unoriginal characters. Sorry for lumping a lot of classes together like this, but it's the only way I can make sense of it.
------
Charracters attack physically and/or ranged. Which can be further devided in:
- hitting with melee weapons
- casting touch-attack magic
and
- casting ranged magic
- firing ranged weapons
Further down the road there are:
- Cast a summon that does some or all of the above.
- Perform any of the above from a sneaking/invisible status, do extra damage.
- Cast something that enhances your ability to do any of the above.
- Cast something that decreases others' abilities to do any of the above.
------
So that must likely sum up 90% of all (prestige)classes out there. What I've plucked out of the regular D&D games like the NWN series so far always seemed to come down to rudementary combinations of casters, rogues and fighters.
The only class I've ever come across in a D&D game (heck, any RPG game) that didn't seem to subscribe to any of these categories was from one of the NWN2 expansions. The Hellfire warlock. It has an ability that lets your attacker receive damage whenever it hits you. That completely turns everything upside down.
So.. I am looking for advice on a PRC class build that allows for really unique gameplay. Perhaps I'm the only one to feel this way, but I so often get the feeling that I've *done it all before*. I realize am being awfully picky so I'll understand if there's simply nothing for me out there.
