Got killed twice today by bowman overcoming my 39AC with their 20-30 rolled attacks. It happens when I am fleeing. If it is feature - it shouldn't work anyway as I have Uncanny Dodge. |

Uncanny Dodge has never worked in NWN2. That's important to know. If it was related to that, then there's VERY little that can be done without rewriting a lot of code. We had a discussion concerning Uncanny Dodge some time ago, and it apparently protects the person with that feat from absolutely nothing. |

Looks it was some lag, running around those bowers - and its fine. but two times, may be some DM joke? |

Which area is it these archers are? Mercuria? If so they have fairly high AB, and the groups always spawn after you walk over certain invisible triggers, that are placed in the map. They could spawn infront of you, or behind you, and they patrol to different locations. Probably just bad luck that you've been killed by them in two different places. If you're having troubles with archers, I suggest investing in deflect arrows as a feat (requires improved unarmed combat), or a protection from arrows wand. Concealment is also a good way of guarding against archers. |

Yup, you gotta take care with those archers in Mercuria, nasty blighters. Uncanny Dodge has been noted as not working, but anyway, it only prevents loss of DEX bonus, not any sort of immunity. If the opponents roll high enough, then you are still hit. Improved Uncanny Dodge , actually no idea if it works, but even more irrelevant here because you aren't being sneak attacked... at best the archers won't get a +2 attack bonus for flanking... and flanking is only for melee or at very short range i think? http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Uncanny_Dodge http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Improved_Uncanny_Dodge If what you are saying is they overcame your 39 AC with an attack of 20-30, then sounds a little strange, but combat log can be strange at times, doesn't always show things right. Really we would need screenshots to be able to take a stab at the real reason, but the deaths you suffered are probably valid.
Haha, no, we are not that evil. I only kill players for fun in the OOC room.

Just to point out, moving to a location (or any use of WASD movement) is considered by the engine to be a non-combat task. So not only are you losing your dex, you're also losing bonuses from magic boots, the dodge feat, Luck of Heroes, haste, battletide, inspire defense, and a host of class-specific AC bonuses as well, which in the case of a high-dex character with certain prestige classes and +5 monk boots can utterly destroy your actual AC. |
