RECOMMENDED CLASSES: This campaign was created with wizards in mind, however you may use sorcerers and bards may also work. Multi-classing will also work and there are a few items which a Spellsword or Eldrich Knight may find useful. THIS IS A SEQUEL: This is a sequel to The Wizard\'s Apprentice. If you have not played The Wizard\'s Apprentice, I recommend that you do so before starting The Wizard\'s Apprentice Chapter II. The Wizard\'s Apprentice Page CHARACTER SELECTION: It is ideal that you still have your character that you exported at the end of the first chapter. I recognize that this was some time ago, so there is an option in the game lobby to level a new character up to the appropriate level. You also will receive some important items from the first chapter to bring along for the second. If you do have to level up your character, it is important that you put the scrolls provided in your spellbook, or you may find the first few areas more difficulty than they are intended to be. LEVELING: The starting level is intended at midway through level 4. If you complete all quests and maximize your experience points, you will end at level 12. It is possible that if you do not completely explore all areas and complete all siedquests you will end at level 11. DIFFICULTY SETTINGS: I received many comments that The Wizard\'s Apprentice Chapter I was too difficult. I have tried to remedy this by providing companions and ample items to assist you in your quests. I recommend that players who are not confident in their wizarding abilities or who have little experience with playing a spellcasting class should play on easy or normal setting. More experienced players will probably find Hardcore setting more challenging and fun. During development, I balanced combat to be challenging on Hardcore settings, so if you find normal settings to be too easy, you may consider changing them. TACTICS: I have set up terrain and encounters so that tactics can make battles much easier. Spellcasters have access to spells which allow them to move unseen and approach enemies without their knowledge. Use these abilities as well as the terrain and anything you find in your environment to your advantage. Some battles may be very difficult to win if you do not use good tactics. A clever wizard always looks for an easier way to win a battle. There are several instances where there are assets that a clever wizard could use to his or her advantage. Of course there is always the hard way for you fireball-slingers out there. ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTION I have taken great pains to make the environment more interactive. You will interact with your environment in ways you never have in NWN2. Pay close attention and you will find some pleasant and and very useful surprises. NOTE Isaac\'s Lesser Missile Storm and Isaac\'s Greater Missile Storm will not damage placeables and will not work with the environmental objects the way other spells will. This is due to the way the spells were scripted, which is very complex and I decided it was too dangerous to modify the script as it could create bizarre bugs.
