Imoen – Rogue 16 / Wizard 23 / Shadowdancer 1

[Maximillian Kane]

Hey everyone!

 

This is my NWN interpretation of Imoen, your childhood friend and fellow Bhaalspawn from BG 1 and 2. She was one of the many Thief / Mage NPCs you could recruit. Everyone has had her in their party, at least for some time, because she left Candlekeep with you in BG 1. In BG 2, she was with you when you were captured by Jon Irenicus, and helped you escape his dungeon, before they were both taken away by the Cowled Wizards due to illegal use of magic. It was a bit challenging to come up with a build that made sense for her, mainly because her backstory was a mystery. Being a Bhaalspawn isn’t really that informative. Still, I tried to reflect her abilities in game, where she was an OK Rogue, but more of a mage. Not as much of an INT-focused one, like Jan, though.

 

This build is a DEX-based, Epic-dodging spellsword with very strong defenses, EMA, EW, high AC, and 50% concealment. Her HP aren’t really that impressive, but that doesn’t mean she can’t tank. At least in melee with a shield in hand, she can really hold her own. The leveling process shouldn’t be a problem either, since she can use Traps and Sneaky Tactics to overcome the challenges while her casting matures. Offensively, however, she leaves a bit to be desired. Her AB is quite low, but can be raised to acceptable levels with Tenser’s Transformation, which will allow her to conserve her spells for tough encounters. She’ll shine in a party, because of her versatility and the many skills and skill points she has, and her flanking potential is amazing with 16 Rogue levels and Wizard buffs + Tenser’s Transformation (the PnP version, of course).

 

Without further ado, Imoen!
