SORCERER BUILD, Neverwinter Nights, NWN1

NWN Sorcerer Build

The Sorcerer Build is a NWN Build for BioWare's cRPG Definition of 2002, Neverwinter Nights 1.

cf. Sorcerer PC Games.

Focusing on Evocation spells, this build employs the Sorcerer class exclusively. There are two very powerful evocation spells: Firebrand NWN and IGMS NWN. Be sure to pick those spells if you are powergaming.

Most NWN modules are not balanced for IGMS and Firebrand. And even though Swordflight is balanced with over-powered spells in mind, we still want IGMS and Firebrand for bombardier builds. That is to say, those two spells are bread and butter for inflicting reliable direct damage.

In NWN, we can swap spell picks in and out when we level up, which makes NWN Sorcerers more difficult to gimp than BG2 Sorcerer, IWD2 Sorcerer and ToEE Sorcerer.
