Keldorn Firecam – Paladin 16 / Fighter 6 / Champion of Torm 18

[Maximillian Kane]

Hey everyone!

 

This is my NWN interpretation of Keldorn Firecam, mentor of Ajantis and member of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. You could recruit him in BG 2 in Athkatla. He was an Inquisitor, which is basically a Paladin sub-class that specializes in hunting down and exterminating evil mages. Thinking about ways to represent that in Neverwinter Nights was tough, but I ultimately decided that it could be done by raising his saves to obscene levels and at the same time giving him DevCrit. Mages may throw whatever spells they wish at this man, he will most likely only fail his saves on a 1. He was also quite easy to hit in BG, so I chose 3 Fighter-type classes, which means he doesn’t get any Tumble class.

 

This is a very strong offensive 2-handed melee build with extraordinary saves and a decent DevCrit DC, enough to take on any of the evil mages he encounters. He doesn’t have any defensive capabilities, and his HP are a bit on the low side, especially considering how easy he is to hit. Even though he doesn’t have any Sneak Attack, he should be played as a flanker, supporting the party tank with a lot of damage and quick kills with his DevCrit. He can also Taunt opponents to reduce their AC, and allow the party to hit them more often.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, Keldorn!

Loved reading this. Outrageously powerful. Ridiculous saves, immunities, a very nice lay on hands ability, great damage, nice use of craft wand (with limited paladin spells / day), extra AC from Divine Shield, and great AB (Expertise/Taunt and Divine Favor). Thanks for sharing!
