What Are You Playing, Part 3: The Assassination of my Wallet by the Cowardly Sale

[Anonymouswizard]

My NWN2 version tends to be Bard 7 (to get the Regeneration aura)/ Dragon Disciple.

I'm not a fan of Dragon Disciple from a conceptual level, although I do like most of the prestige classes in NWN 2. However, unlike the Divine Champion it's not mostly thematicaly redundant with a base class introduced in the base game (it seems to exist to allow NLG types to access some Paladin abilities).

Looking at the classes, it seems like the build I want is either Bard 7/Swashbuckler X, or Bard 1/Swashbuckler X, depending on if I want the regeneration song or just the attack bonus and Perform skill. I certainly want a build along the lines of STR 8/DEX 16/CON 12/INT 14/WIS 8/CHA 14 though, with extra points being pumped into INT or Cha to bring them up to 16. I'm not really interested in most of the other Bard songs, although it does leave the KC with a problem against undead and constructs I think it'll be enjoyable.
