Fighter

NWN Requirements

• None

Arelith Changes

• +10 Discipline at fighter level 28.
• +1 Strength OR Dexterity each 10 levels.

The stat bonus is Strength unless the base Dexterity is larger than the other.

• Armor AC Bonus (+1 at 5, +2 at 25, +3 at 30)
• Shield AC Bonus (+1 at 10, +2 at 25, +3 at 30)
• Helmet AC Bonus (Deflection) (+1 at 15, +2 at 25, +3 at 30)
• Weapon Attack Bonus (+1 at 23, +2 at 25, +3 at 30)
• Weapon Damage Bonus (+1 at 23, +2 at 25, +3 at 30)

All the AC, Attack and Damage bonus stacks with equipment.

This means, that a level 25 fighter (+2 AB) using a Masterly Damask weapon (+3) would have a total bonus of +5 AB, and thus pierce most damage reduction effects.

Mechanical Notes

The STR/DEX bonus is soft; it will count toward the +12 magical cap.

Note that the AB/Damage/AC item stacking of the fighter is exclusive of the fighter's abilities, and there's no other way to stack them.

A shield, helmet and armor/clothing must be equipped in order to receive the respective AC bonus, and a weapon for the AB and damage bonus - unarmed attacks will not benefit.

The AC bonus for the helmet is Deflection, a source of AC that may also be found in rings, cloaks and other even less common sources. The Fighter bonus AC will only stack with the helmet's AC; not rings or else. You will use whichever Deflection is higher; Helmet+Fighter Bonus or Ring/Weapon/Spells.
