Red Dragon Disciple, Neverwinter Nights 1, NWN 1

Red Dragon Disciple NWN

Red Dragon Disciple is a NWN class in BioWare's cRPG of 2002, Neverwinter Nights 1.

This is one of the most popular classes due to its huge stat bonuses and immunity to fire, paralysis and sleep.

Red Dragon Disciple Maximum Strength HotU

Pre-epic Red Dragon Disciple Build (20th level) can sport 32 innate Strength (44 in HotU with items).

Base Strength (32) + Belt of Storm Giant Strength (10) + Gauntlets of Ogre Power (2) = 44 Strength. If we then equip the Shroud of Kings (Strength +2), we do NOT attain 46 Strength because the item-based Strength bonus is capped at +12.

RDDs can take both Overwhelming Critical and Devastating Critical at 21st level. RDDs sprout wings which are disabled by wearing cloaks. Deekin is able to level as RDD during Hordes of the Underdark.

Red Dragon Disciple Description

It is rumored that the magical powers of sorcerers and bards is somehow connected to the presence of dragon blood in their family tree. Red Dragon Disciples are sorcerers, and sometimes bards, who use their magical power as a catalyst to ignite their red dragon blood, realizing its fullest potential. They prefer a life of exploration to a cloistered existence. Already adept at magic, many pursue adventure, especially if it furthers their goal of finding out more about their draconic heritage. They often feel drawn to areas known to harbor dragons.
