Tip:
To successfully navigate in the dark, memorize where things are (doors, trees, gates, rocks, etc) while it's light out, then practice moving about without artificial light after sundown. It might come in handy.

TIP:
If you play naked, be careful when you pour yourself a cup of coffee.

Tip: If something looks like a bug or unintended, contact a DM to make sure before taking advantage of it.
For example: If a goblin shortie drops a +3 sword, even if you killed the goblin and looted the sword all legit, anyone knows that's not right. The sword+3 will be noticed eventually and by keeping it quiet the trust the DM team had on you may suffer a serious dent.

Tip:
DM's and DEVs are people too who work very hard to keep this server going and make things fun. There are times disagreements may exist or people might have feelings towards them they feel is justified, but its often much easier to just try to put things in perspective or take a moment to talk to a PG or them themselves and find a solution than just brooding on it.
I myself am guilty of this, as well as being on a receiving end after being a DM on another server for almost a year, and I can tell you it sucks and often makes people want to quit.
Be nice, realize we're all here to have fun, and work on finding ways to make things even more fun!
(please don't turn this into a discussion, just my tip!)

Invest in healing potions.

Important one: Be nice to people OOCly! Everyone enjoys better the company of a nice person, even when their character doesn't get along with yours. Politeness and niceness goes a long way.
-
Think of things/items/materials that your PC might be working with and integrate it into your role play around the fire to liven up the encounter.

Tip: Tips are most efficient as one-liners, and links to official sources are generally more helpful and accurate than homebrew explanations.
For example: What is Charisma?

Tip:
Role play your character's stats.
Seeing that the lowest stat in NWN is usually 8, you never have to RP your character as being totally stupid, unwise or uncharasmatic. At worse you character is "below average" if you dump a stat.
If your playing a character with below average CHA for instance, that character is probably more likely to be led than to be a leader. Unless they have ranks in Persuade or Intimidate that is.
Sometimes folks mistake CHA for sexiness. Just remember that Ghouls and Liches have high CHA scores. That amazingly attractive bimbo with low self esteem has a low CHA score. People with lower CHA scores are usually easier to manipulate on an emotional level than folks with higher scores.
Same with INT and WIS. Sometimes your character class has no mechanical use for one or more of the mental stats, so it gets dumped. Try to bring that flaw out in your RP. Folks notice when you don't.

Tip: ;-; I guess this is a tip but if you use the pan keys to zoom in you get a slightly better range
-
Tip:
Make friends! It's dangerous to go alone.
-
Tip:
You can drink two potions in one "round". Monsters can only get one attack of opportunity in a round however. So it's worth hotkeying your healing potions and giving it a double tap whenever you need healing.
