And most wizard players tote a crossbow around if they're smart.  Since the TC has HotU, that also means he's got Scribe Scroll (actually, I think one of the patches added in Scribe Scroll regardless of how many expansions are installed) and Craft Wand, though the blank scrolls and wands aren't available in except in HotU I think.Monks aren't too bad.  Often monks are combined with a cleric or druid build for the Wis bonus to AC.  And like I mentioned above, the Improved Unarmed Combat of the monk is used to bolster the druid's wild shaping.Knockdown -- these are NWN's equivalent of Trip, and they're two feats that work well on just about every melee build.  Toughness is also a great feat; it gives you +1 hp every level instead of just a flat +3 hp once.Another popular build takes a level of sorcerer with a paladin build and makes a Dragon Disciple out of it.  RDD builds only needs one level of bard or sorcerer for the class.  The idea here is not for the sorcerer spellcasting, but to use the RDD levels to pump a massive melee beast.  However, you can do very well with bard and have a fighter or barbarian as your melee base.  Take more bard levels to improve your song and take Lingering Song, use buffs like bull's strength or (bear's) endurance, and you can really pump that build up.  If the classes in the set aren't enough to whet your appetite, there's a mod that you can download that adds even more prestige classes, as well as spells, feats and the like.  There's a lot of really good fan-created content out there.  If Steel Wind finds this thread, he can probably point out the good stuff better than I can, especially some of the stuff he's responsible for.Even I've created stuff for NWN.  Check out my adaptation of <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=162297" target="_blank">Orc and Pie</a>.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=24327" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
