This document is a compilation of the Neverwinter Nights, SoU, & HotU rules. It covers most of the rules on character creation and has descriptions of every feat, skill, and spell that is included in the game. It is meant for the beginner and advanced player as a guide and reference. This is the second version of this document. Many things have been added and corrected along with Shifter info. This document uses hyper-linked bookmarks throughout. It is formatted to print front/back. The use of color in the document is meant for ease of reading and will not take up too much color ink. Thank you for your patience and thank you to ZelleQyllvan for the wonderful Shifter info. Enjoy!

good. just about no mistakes. I appreciate this. _________________________ @===============================================@
Vinchenzo made a post here.
Plz check out my entries. I'm currently making a few simple modules, designing 3 special characters, and hope to someday be good this stuff.
This is Vinchenzo, finishing his post with the following advice:
Don't use Latin improperly (Lupis means grey, Rufus is red, Canid is dog, so on.) Furries annoy me with their improper usage of such. And I'm a furry!!! Ugh...
Don't vote for Beta things unless told they are finished, unless posted specifically by the author.
Don't abuse the vote and post function, don't vote for your own/friends stuff just to get a high vote. Don't flame vote either just to be an ass.
There is a voting system for how the points are used, even I forget, but we should follow it (and tattoo it to our forehead, lol)

One think I would suggest is creating a table of feats by category like there was in the SoU manual, it was quick to find feats this way.

Much more useful than the official manuals!

Excellent manual! My main source for NWN information.

Some clearly wrong information in the spells section....
I was looking thru particulary for the damage on cleric spells Darkfire and Divine Favor....
Divine Favor gets +5/+5 at level 15+ not level 12+
And I think darkfire hits 1d6+10 at level 20+ not 16+

I consider this an essential resource when building, and very handy when DMing, too. BioWare could learn a thing or two about creating game manuals from this! :p _________________________ Live fast, die young, and leave a lootable corpse.

Thanks for putting this together, really helps in character creation or for that one pesky feat you're not sure what the requirements are....
Thanks again!

As a Mac user, I cannot make modules without the toolset, but I'm sure this has helped other modules I've scores 10 on so a ten for this kudos! _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them.

and I found about this only now, god dammit!
This would have been of great use when I was really into designing my builds

Rated 10 for Excellent! I printed and use it often. An indispensable item worth the download. Thanks so much Lord Xyphus and others who have contributed. :)

The manual says that Balagarn's Iron Horn is an Enchantment school spell. I recall that it's an SOU spell that was released as a Transmutation spell. Is this an error? Or has there been a change made by one of the post-SOU patches?
Other than that, thanks a bunch for the hard work. It's great so far!
