Thanks for the reply. I had forgotten about the 5 levels in a class rule, but I do remember reading it now that you mention it.

I'll probably adjust it so that he doesn't complete his basic training then.  The "one level of fighter" was more for RP/background than desiring any actual benefits from it.

The character submission will be much more detailed than what I have here, was just looking for some general advice.  Again, thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for all the responses.  I did an online search and found out I can get the Platinum pack at Wal-Mart for about $40.  Definitely seems like a good deal.

   [TABLE=head;sort=1a,2,3]Q: |What do I need to play?|
A: |You need Neverwinter Nights, and its two expansion packs: Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.|
[/TABLE]
 

 /whacks self on head  Yes - I see that now that you pointed it out.  I had scanned the FAQ and not sure how I missed that entry.  Thank you.

More often than not characters have some major adversity in their background - families killed, villages burned & plundered, etc.

I'm considering breaking out of that mold.  My initial thoughts are to create a character from a well established family, not quite royalty, but a reknowned figure in the community.  My intent is not to provide the character with any kind of extra resources or privileges because of his connection, but merely for background development.

I'm envisioning him as a human, born to a nobleman perhaps. His father was a influential leader in the [military? militia?] and it was always expected he would follow in his footsteps. However, while growing up he spent countless hours in the local libraries and was fascinated with the arcane arts, often spending time reading books when he was supposed to be working on fencing and swordsmanship.

After completing his basic training and serving a few months in the militia, he finally made a decision. He would pursue his interest in arcane arts, against the wishes of his father and the traditions of his family. He apprenticed to a local wizard and sought out to learn his new profession.  (Hence, I envision him having a level of fighter initially, followed by wizard after that)

Root Question: Is there a town or region that would be better suited for me to use as my home locale for this character?  I'd like my character background to be flexible enough that perhaps, some time in the future, it may provide some hooks for character development quests.

General Discussion / Neverwinter Nights Software?

I just recently discovered your site via a notice posted in a MMORPG forum.  I'm interesting in taking a look at what you have to offer here.

However, I never played NWN and do not have the software.  Is the NWN software still available anywhere?   I presume that I must own some type of client side software in order to access your server.

Suggestion: Add to the "Server Information" or "Game Information" guide of your site information about the answer to the above question.

As best I could tell, your guides make the assuumption that the reader has an understanding of what NWN is.

EDIT: I posted this message before seeing the PM in my inbox. That message stated: "Make sure you have Neverwinter Nights and the 2 expansions installed."  So that does confirm the presumption I made.  Still wondering where to get the software.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
