Notes
- Added in the Expansion packs.
- This feat is a prerequisite for the Weapon Master prestige class.
- By default, NWN allows spellcasting while using Expertise; however, BioWare included a switch to disable it via scripting using the spell hook.
- Because of the above default, this can be a useful feat for casters who do not use their weapons. They can spare sacrificing their attack rolls, and reap the benefit of a higher AC.
- This is an often overlooked feat, but can be incredibly useful to fighters facing very damaging enemies (or several annoying enemies).
