I just finished the OC and now I started to play MotB.
I used a char very similar to this:
http://nwn2db.com/build/?67066
Pros: -damage is OK, not extremely high but good enough
- you don´t have to run around during battle.
Cons: - It looks stupid when you fight with a bow while you are surrounded by enemies. There is no aggro system so you cannot sent them to your tank.
-but the most importand reason why I stopped playing after 1h MotB: You need tons of ammo
late in the game. You have: 6 base attacs per round + rapid shot + haste (+ manyshot if this uses extra ammo)
When you come to town in MotB you can get 99 arrows+4 for over 2000g (maybe even more, I don´t remember the correct number and it depends on your appraise skill which is usually not very importand). Those are being used after a bit more than 1 minute of battle. Though you have no problem getting lots of money in MotB, a char that burns 2000g per minute is not effective, no matter how many damage you do.
In the OC I used a longbow+3 with infinife ice arrows. But you loose your weapon when you import your char to MotB. Unless you tell me that I can find a good bow with infinife ammo in MotB fast, I start again with a new char.
