Will there be any new modules or fixes to the existing ones?

Note: There are a few problems with this build. As posted, it is not possible to take Necrocarnate Acolyte at lvl 3 with 10 Con.  The listed maneuvers at lvl 4 are also not available at that level.  Suggest sticking with ebonfowl's original Warcarnate build for something similar.

Thanks to Garasou on the discord for pointing this out.

Hi, all-

After a rather long hiatus from the front, I now find myself returning to the worlds of NWN- including the PRC. You can imagine my astonishment to discover that not only is the PRC project not offline, but that it is still producing content. (Reserve feats... yum.)

As the newer versions of the PRC have moved to the Enhanced Edition of NWN, so have I. As it happens, though, I've found myself running into issues.

The original version of the PRCModuleUpdater (now the "classic" version) used to create both a merge hak and combined tlk file to use with a given module. I'm now using the updated version of PRCModuleUpdater... and it doesn't appear to do this. Indeed, when I attempted to update a clean version of Endless Nights IV with the PRC (4-1-8), I received the error previously noted by other users here: "...The module and custom content contain tlk files that cannot merge".

I attempted to build my own merge hak, using the compiler and the notes on the subject from the PRC manual. I got the same result when using CEP.tlk as my original tlk file. I tried removing this, as suggested in a different thread; then, the compiler was able to successfully add the PRC to the "Merge module"- but it also used the prc_consortium.tlk file, rather than attempting to build a new one.

So... I'm a bit stumped as to what i SHOULD be doing.

So far, I HAVE been able to add the PRC to EN4 in NWNEE. While it works well enough, I've also seen a number of oddities in the installation. To wit, my character is encountering a fair number of monsters without a name- or rather, a blank name.

I suspect that this may be due to the tlk file the module is using (prc_consortium), and that a merged tlk file might fix things. (I first took steps to fix the issue with baseitems.2da as noted in the manual, by basically merging the two different 2da files together. All seems to be all right, though I don't think I've done anything- or found anything- that would test it, either. In any case, I still have the "blank names" issue.)

As such, I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give me. (If such advice would be better dispensed over Discord, I would be game- though it would need to be later in the week.)

Lee (GLWizard)

Did this build get the Vorpal crafting spell access using UMD + scrolls or are there equivalent invokes?

This thread (2009) had the costs, which seemed low for a DC70 effect:

Curious which opponents Vorpal does not work against.

Just saw the Vorpal DC was Flex. Looks like monks are still the best. Some things never change.

Re: build suggestions

First, many of these are not possible: you can’t take any domain but War because you need it for Holy Warrior and the other domain must be one of the three MoS domains to qualify. You cannot take Extra Turning instead of Improved Turning because MoS already gets it as a bonus feat. You can’t have undead mastery, it is a Dread Necromancer thing. Also, as Strat points out, those skills are no longer useful.

As I’ve said before, use-limited abilities generally suck in NWN. They are fine for games where only a few encounters a day are assumed (4/day in PnP for instance), but the encounter rate in many NWN modules makes them undesirable. For example, maybe a times/day ability will be useful against the first monster in Swordflight, but what about the tenth? What about the 100th monster you have to fight before the module even gives you the possibility of resting? Epic spells, divine might, and divine shield all fall into this category.

Devcrit and PRC vorpal are THE best pure offensive abilities there are. Nothing kills faster aside from maybe the extreme damage builds (which this build cannot replicate). This build can’t make a vorpal weapon (the better option) because it cannot get both of the required spells, so devcrit it is. And the requirements for devcrit (except overwhelming critical and power attack) all dramatically improve devcrit. This build is primarily a devcrit build with use-limited options to deal with the enemies that are immune to devcrit. And my desire is to not post cheater builds, so no toolset solutions.

Corpse Crafter and (particularly/mostly) Destruction Retribution will work, and may be a decent swap in for this build, but I don’t think there is a combination of two feats that would be better swapped out for those two.

And Improved Turning and +12 charisma items are required in this build as it is the only way to never lose control of a ghost (aside from a couple WoL that are not good fits). Until I get phylactery of undead turning implemented, that is.

Some of the spells look cool, but the player can decide on those.
