WEAPON FOCUS, Neverwinter Nights 1, NWN1


Weapon Focus NWN


Weapon Focus is a General feat in BioWare's cRPG Definition of 2002, Neverwinter Nights. Weapon Focus is usually one of the first feats taken not only due to what it confers and is a prerequisite to, but also because weapon itemization in NWN modules is often tailored to the weapon the character has Focus in. 


So, for example, if we have Weapon Focus: Scimitar, we are going to start off with a generic scimitar and find magical scimitars itemized in boss chests. This is true of the OC and many other NWN modules besides.

WF is taken by most martial NWN builds such as FighterPaladinArcher and Barbarian.

Undocumented in its entry, is that WF is a prerequisite to EWF.
