There are items with higher SR in SoU and HotU. The highest item in NWN is Aribeth's Ring which provides Spell Resistance of 18 and has a use at the end of the game. Spell Resistance bonuses do not stack, so it is best to have a single item that has the highest Spell Resistance rather than mutliple items with lower SR. However there is a limit of +12 to how much higher than your base value you can go through the use of magical items. Unlike Armor Class and spell resistance, attribute bonuses stack. (For example, a wizard wearing a ring that boosts intelligence while leveling up will not allow the selection of more spells or spells of a higher level.) However, wearing the ring may increase the number of spells that can be memorized. Items that raise attributes do not seem to positively affect leveling-up. (HotU has a few more items that increase intelligence, like a +6 helmet).Įvery 4 levels you can increase an attribute, so it isn't critical that you have an 18 score in your main attribute at the beginning of the game. Intelligence can be raised only by Ring of Clear Thought (+1-5), Thayvian Circlet (helmet) (+2). Wisdom can be raised only by Periapt (Amulet) of Wisdom (+1-5), Talisman (Amulet) of Pure Good/Evil (+3). You can also import your character with all of his/her stuff into SoU but the game will be too easy unless you set the preference settings to make it more difficult.Ĭonstitution can be raised by Henchman (Grimgnaw) Amulet of the Long Death/Silent Lord (+1, +3, +5) (which at +5 also gives immunity to level/ability drain and Spell Resistance Bonus of 10), Boots of Striding (+1-5), Boots of Hardiness (+1-3).ĭexterity can be raised by Dragon Slippers (+2), Bracers of Dexterity (+1-5), Henchman (Linu) Pendant (Amulet) of the Elf (+1, +3, +5), Belt of Agility (+1-4), Henchman (Tomi) Ring of the Rogue (+1, +3, +4), Boots of Elvenkind (+2)Ĭharisma can be raised by Nymph Cloak (+1-5), Henchman (Boddyknock) Lantanese Ring (+1, +3) (also Regeneration +1), Armor of Command (+2), Balduran's Armor (+2), Henchman (Sharwyn) Belt of the Performer (+1, +3, +5), Dwarven Mirth small shield (+2), Talisman (Amulet) of Pure Good/Evil (+3), Mask (helmet) of Persuasion (+1), Greater Mask of Persuasion (+2).

Note that in Shadows of Undrentide there are fewer objects that enhance strength and fewer bags of holding, therefore if you are starting a new character for SoU (the expected thing to do) a low strength is more of a problem and you will probably end up needing Daelan as a henchman just so that he can carry your loot, at least for a while. At high enough level druids can shape change. Druids can also use the Animal Empathy skill to charm an animal. If you are a Druid/Sorcerer or Druid/Wizard you can summon both a familiar and an animal companion simultaneously. If you are a Druid you can summon an animal companion once per day as well as a creature using a summoning spell. If you are a Wizard or Sorcerer you can summon your familiar once per day - the Panther familiar is a tough melee fighter - in addition to summoning a creature using a summon monster spell or wand of summoning. Also, there are magic bags and bags of holding which can allow a person to carry more weight than strength normally allows. For strength there are several - Belts of Giant Strength (+3-5), Squire's Defense Armor (+3), Gauntlets of Ogre Power (+1-2), Uthgardt Holy Shield (+2 str, -2 charisma), and the Henchman (Daelan) Amulet of the Red Tiger/Uthgardt (+1, +3, +4) (which at +5 also gives Freedom of Movement and Immunity to Sneak Attack) and unlike AC bonuses, attribute bonuses do stack. There are items in the game that when worn raise attributes by 2, 3 or 4. Paladin, Bard, and Sorcerer are Charisma-basedįighter, Barbarian, Monk are Strength-basedĬlasses like Sorcerer and Wizard that have low hit points (1d4) can benefit from high Constitution.

Several items in the game that boost Charisma (see list below).Ĭlasses that cannot (or should not) wear heavy armor should be high in Dexterity - Rogue, Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard, Monk, Druid, Ranger

High Charisma is good for getting more money when completing quests. High intelligence is necessary to get skills and there are few items in the game that boost Intelligence (see list below). Several items in the game that boost Dexterity (see list below). High Dexterity is more valuable for classes that wear light or no armor. Min 15 Dexterity to get the Ambidexterity feat.
