The Hero's Path Module List*
*formerly the Upper Level Module List (see this thread for discussion of name change)
The purpose of this list is to make it easier to find good mods for established characters or small groups of characters so that players may string together a series of adventures across multiple modules with the same character(s) (these are sometimes called campaigns). In order to be listed here, I set the following criteria:
A mod must...
a) have a minimum starting level requirement of at least level 2.
b) not require/recommend that a character have already played through a specific mod for plot/item/scripting reasons (exceptions: modules created as sequels to official campaigns).
c) not include pregenerated characters that you are recommended or required to use in the module.
d) not strip a character of all her/his equipment/experience and never return it. Modules that force a character to a particular level are acceptable if that level is above lv 2, but the fact that they do so is noted on the entry.
e) have a score of at least 8.25 on NWVault (it’s an arbitrary cutoff, but seems to work pretty well), or be in the Vault’s Hall of Fame.
f) must not be a utility module, a persistent world, an arena, or strictly a PvP module (the idea here is to find story-based modules, however detailed or simple the plots, that would be fun for a person or a small group of people to play).
g) be written in English (sorry, I’m a naive American and can’t evaluate modules written in other languages).
h) New this month, must not be a Bioware Contest Module (see my post below explaining this).
i) be a freely available module (no Bioware Premium Modules)
While not perfect, but these criteria permit the construction of a fairly comprehensive list of modules appropriate for this play style without requiring that I personally evaluate each one of these entries. If you have suggestions for modifications of these criteria, feel free to post your recommendations – I'm delighted to receive the feedback.
Modules are listed by recommended starting level (denoted lv x-y). Following the module name is the recommended number of players for a module (x-y pl) and the required version of NWN (N = Original NWN, S=SoU, H=HotU, C=CEP, followed by version number if provided by author). I have also included any comments regarding the type of character(s) you should use, as indicated by the authors. Please keep in mind that I have not played the majority of these mods, so I’m working largely from descriptions/readme’s.

Finally, as your characters move between these great modules, I recommend using Zorco’s Keeps* to keep your characters refreshed and happy. Sell their junk, buy new gear, and buy them a house where you can store equipment and host parties between modules! Also features nodrop item removal and HAK detection on equipment.
I am not sure if I will be updating this list again in the future, as my interests are shifting primarily to NWN2-related activities. Nevertheless, I could be persuaded to do so if there are a substantial number of changes that need to be made. If I held to the every-other-month update schedule, the next update would be mid-February. Therefore, if there are any modules that should be added to the list, or have been misrepresented in some way, please leave comments here or send me a PM.
Cheers,
Berliad

This is AWESOME! Thanks for posting it. I'm just now starting to play something besides "the official campaign" and love the idea of playing things consistent with what I've played through. I've also been looking for some things that I could carry on my Epic character through.
So thanks very much.  | |
