MotB: evil dude needs melee specialist

    Hi there,

    I'm playing through MotB as an evil pure caster, and now Act II has just started and I have the following problems:
    - I have devoured Okku, the best available tank
    - My companions are Kaelyn, Gann and Safiya. Gann is a druid specialised in short bows (eww), Kaelyn is a cleric with little melee power, and Safiya is a pure caster. I am reduced to using summons as tanks.
    - It was fine in Act I because I could abuse resting, but with the spirit meter this is not a viable strategy anymore.

    So I need some tips. I heard I could get One of Many soon, and with 25 influence turn him into a barbarian. Is he a good tank in that form?

    Also, any tips as to how I could make my existing party members better melee fighters? I really need that + regeneration to avoid having to rest all the time.

    Thanks!

    The easiest solution is to use the fan made Save game editor NWN2 Character Editor - Version 4.2 to change you are your companions to your liking, since afaik there is no evil tank. Or you could import an OC companion as a tank the mod is called OC Companions for MotB Mule.

    Good luck.

    One of Many can be gotten in the Dead God's Vault if you bring along Okku's husk.

    As for 25 influence, yes, you have the option of turning him into a Barbarian. Simply talk to One of Many and indicate that you want the Brute to come forth. The Barbarian form becomes more and more powerful as One of Many levels up.

    The 25 influence is easy to gain, especially with Kaelyn in the party. Talk to Kaelyn, and side with One of many against her. Talk to One of Many, and choose options like, "You can call me Master of Evil."

    One of Many is a must, regardless of the class.

    Ok I guess I'll get One of Many ASAP then.

    As for regeneration, any particular items I should be looking for? I'm not too familiar with the crafting/enchantement system so if it involves that please be very specific.

    As for One of Many himself, he can't equip items, but then he doesn't really need em either.

    And yes, he has regeneration that increases as he levels up.

    If you want a general discussion of enchanting items to regenerate, just r-click to examine either brilliant or pristine fire essences. That'll give you the info you need.

    One of Many, as a barbarian, is a better tank than Okku, IMO.

    I noticed that Gann has a feat in Exotic Weapons (bastard swords, katanas etc.). Is there any particular weapon I should look for that would make him good in melee?

    In Nightshore, the beach area leading up to the Night Hag City, there's an Ogre Magi who acts as a merchant.

    One of the beauties he sells is the Naught Katana, which is a +6 Katana that also scores 4d6 negative energy damage on each hit, and another 4d6 damage on anything with a lawful alignment. It still has one enchantment slot left, so feel free to add another source of damage. ;)

    Put this is Gann's hand along with a shield, and he'll make a credible warrior. Especially with spells like Premonition and Storm Avatar.
