I'd second Bard. They get the most skills (Not as man points as Rogue, but Inspire Competence makes up for it), which makes them good to play non-adventurer professions. And bards are people persons, so it makes sense for them to want to learn what makes people tick, how to influence it, to help them. Bards are all about social interaction so... (And they get a bit of magic if need be) |

A telepath would be most effective in a regular game. The top telepath power psychic surgery is as powerful as it gets. Various others that boost social skills to epic levels. Don't forget sense motive skill, also the suggestion powers. You can even transplant consciousness from one body into another. If you're looking for something more mundane in terms of psychology actually they have variants rules for sanity and treating mental conditions with a variant skill. You can use the heal skill as substitute. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/campaigns/sanity.htm |

Which, for clarification, isn't actually in NWN2 and was never added by SCoD. (Because Obsidian did... silly stuff: http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Excluded_skills.) Maybe you could RP things with the Enhanced Senses ability and Spot/Listen, to do something similar? |

Like Nimiane, I play a Bleaker Alienist. He's also a Bleaknik. To be honest, you can do any class. It's always more intriguing, however, when you use real methodologies to treat mental illness - it's a longer, harder road. My character is a fan of hypnosis, for example (and it happens to go in toe with his skill for Enchantment magic). Just using psionics/enchantment to fix everything doesn't provide as much opportunity for character development on either side of the equation. Edit: Also, in Planescape Lore, the Bleak Cabal is mentioned as an authority of matters related to psychology (due to their extensive research in how to best manage the Grim Retreat). That said, the Godsmen also have an Asylum in Sigil, and like to spur heavily damaged people towards what they see as their eventual apotheosis. A Sensate would make a good Psychologist, as well. Someone with such a vast array of practical knowledge from experience could relate to all kinds of people. A Fated Psychologist might be interesting - a person who encourages someone to gather their strength of will or character to make it past their troubles (for a nice fee, of course). The point is - it's an adaptable concept you can mold to any character. |

When I read Darker Thought's post, I knew that two things would happen: that number one, somebody would correct her, and number two, that somebody would be Rapsam.

Hey pal, at least Rapsam is able to explain to me about things that not many others could, and he leaves no further questions unanswered from me when I ask him a question most of the time ![]() anyhow I also brought up the psion possible link to MT out of curiosity to GUESS WHO? XD but it makes sense that a psion being a mentalist would not fit into MT in the end VS a Divine caster, Arcanist, or even a Invoker that would work with MT. |

Psychology as an academic discipline in the modern age is about as refined as the axes from the neolithicum. So clearly, the most suitable class for a Psychologist, is the Marxist Totem Barbarian. |

Obsidian dropped the ball a lot, like skills without their counter skills, or spells without their defensive counterparts. I just assume that people can look things up on the SRD and then extrapolate what they would be able to do to what they do in RP. |
