Yeah, Chongo, I actually played a rogue/duelist/wpnmstr in the NWN2 single-player expansion when it was released a few months ago. I had all the weaponmaster stuff by 20th, and most of the duelist stuff, but his damage output wasn't awesome until closer to 30th after grabbing a few more feats and more sneak attack. This was mostly due to the fact that I made him a finesse fighter in order to get the rediculous AC. If I had let go of the dex (and AC) and went strength, by 20th he'd have been rediculous in terms of damage. But his AC would have been 1/3 as good, and either way his will save still stunk, heh... actually, his fort save was bad, too. Death magic and mind attacks would obliterate the character in Layo unless he was in a balanced party (mage and cleric).
Which is why you should all play weaponmaster/wizards so you can laugh in the face of an illithid that tries to gut your mind, then turn around and gut the illithid with your sword.
