Beginner looking for Tutorials

kidblitz

I've poked around these forums for a bit, but haven't quite found what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for a tutorial like the following: http://mwomercs.com/game/training-grounds but as it pertains to Neverwinter.

I'm familiar with the D&D universe, but some of the mechanics in this game stray from the norm.

Things in particular I'm looking for:

• Where can I read about the differences between the paths that can be chosen at level 10?
• How exactly does paragon system work? It seems I can pick point from any of the initial paths on the left, but how does that affect the trees on the right?
• How many abilities am I restricted to? It seems I can learn more abilities than I can equip in the hotbar.
• Is there a list of commands anywhere?

Any help/links/pointing in the right direction is appreciated.

Thanks.

Paragon paths, open up @ 30. As for your heroic feats, those are more flexible, so you can pick what you think will work well for you. You are limited to the skills you can use in your keys. However having the abilities trained allows you to switch them quickly to adapt to different situations.

At level 10 you don't open different paths but instead open points that can be spent fine tuning your character to your play style. Every 5 points spent opens up another bank of options. Eventually around level 30 you open up more focused branches that you can spend your points on.

Eventually there will be multiple paragon paths to pick between. Picking one will open up a set up powers for you to gain in the paragon slots. Right now there is only 1 paragon path per class but that will change.

You can have all of the abilities. The limitation is how many you can actively bound to the controls. You can bind 2 at will powers, 4 encounter powers, 2 daily powers, and 2 class abilities. But between combats you can open the power menu and swap what ability is active.

I haven't actually seen a list of commands, but if you open the settings menu you can look at the current key bindings.

Thanks guys, that helps.

Is there a place, or in the UI, does it classify which powers are "at will" powers and which are "encounter"?
