Fixed as in no longer blocking other shopkeepers, or fixed as in actually doing what he claims to be able to do? I was never ever able to get arrows repaired either.

Well, Tanji, thank you for the tip, but Ive understood that already long time ago. Thats why my zoning SVS outfit is like ac-100 svb-25 svs-35 PFF, and with it I have... ummm... maybe like 200-300 hp clouds? They arent that bad, actually, as the ones in those posts. I can survive them quite well, a...

The problem is that pet merchants don't seem to use the same code as normal merchants. Ditto for that wandering craftsman.

Nah, too easy. How bout a spell that cannabilizes one of your undead pets for hp? Or would that be too similar to psis keeping a train of slaves to munch on . . .

Thought some of you would get a kick out of this.

Why do liches need to be fixed? I would have thought that being undead would kill off reproduction as is . . .

There's an item that procs invisibility of command in the game. It's a tiamat item. Don't count on a lesser version being available at local mobs anytime soon 8)

While I won't inquire about the veracity of Rag's story, it does illustrate one of the reasons I call the Sims more of a software toy than a game and where the fun of it lies. A lot of the stuff in the game can be tedious (the social model is still a pain in the ass to deal with for me, but that cou...

I got the game shortly after it originally came out. A few months ago, I also picked up the Living Large through Vacation expansions packs, which helped to keep me amused for a few weeks. They may not fit the traditional definition of games, but they're still very well made software toys and what yo...

Some race/class combinations simply don't get played even though they are quite effective. But because they ARE effective, messing with them to give people incentive to play them more can be bad balance wise. How often do you see gnome warriors? They can use max_con items to lower the hp gap between...

In the past, some gods have manually teleported people out of jot if they needed a boot quickly, but sometimes they want to just boot immediately if it's a big fix. Obviously, these sometimes are an issue since they break the normal restrictions on stuff. Maybe someone should add a proc that a god c...

Wait, the mob is naturally aggro? If that's the case, then it's still going to attack you anyway. Being aggro in general and being aggro to someone in particular are different.

A lot of drow in FR literature use two weapon fighting because it's favored at Melee-Megarth in Menzoberranzen. Drow on the mud aren't coming out of Menzoberranzen, they're being trained at DK. Likewise, Drow from other major UD cities may have other styles favored. I'm fairly sure that drow in the ...

I never read much in the way of comic books, but my stepbrother collected tons of them so I grew up being familiar with them, X-men in particular. Nightcrawler was definately my favorite, though I mainly saw him in Excaliber comics (some of my stepbrother's X-men comics were too far back in storage ...

There are certain rules about stuff you can't sell. To enforce those rules on an auction channel, the gods would have to have someone monitering it 24/7. I don't think many of them are jumping at the thought of that (except possibly off bridges).

Lawful evil is straightforward once you set the bounds on what your character will do. It's when OTHER people have to figure out what bounds your character follows that it becomes confusing 8)

I had a really mean idea. Make the bards actually play their song. Like they'll see a prompt and, it's like Simon Says;) they have to emulate the song to play it. Can be made more and more difficult as more bards enter room, longer played, etc. That'll give them a lot to do;) A... A...D..G.. A...D....

I never bothered testing caster stats for halflings or really looking into them for that matter. From Gnerble's experiences (read, ranting while memming) though, I can say that they're behind humans in int and wisdom. So if we toss halflings into the mix (or better yet, dropkick them there), we get ...

I believe the stat breakdown is this: str: human, elf, gnome dex: elf and gnome tied, human agi: elf, gnome (very small gap between the two here), human con: human and gnome tied, then elf quite a bit behind pow: Probably the same, who really cares? int: elf, gnome (again, an extremely small gap), h...

From the experience of my anti, the max str notch is indeed at around 110. I imagine it's the same for palis, warriors, and rangers since they tend to share stats.

"The "oh shit" factor when you set off trap is very low or non-existent. "

You obviously haven't come across a few of the ones I've set off puttering around. Getting hit with venom for picking up an item on the ground hurts BAD :shock:

Remember, it's power WORD blind. It's just one word to unleash the spell unlike most other spells. Kind of like holy/unholy word (well, to cast anyway, the lag those cause is another matter).

If the DM is REALLY evil, they could also make use of the stat write ups for Cthulu and his friends in the back of the d20 Call of Cthulu game too 8)

I'm pretty sure he was talking about increasing the breaking rate of arrows, not increasing the rate of fire.

The sticky issue with goodie caster races is that you don't want humans to step on gnome toes and we only got the gnome toes off the elf ones this wipe. There has to be some advantage to both elves and gnomes, otherwise gnomes just wind up as strangely named humans with crappy strength.

"One solution might be to make it so that a ranger would lose a larger amount of arrows after each battle, making them either empty their piggy bank on mass amounts of arrows, travel back to town frequently to pick some up or spend time making their own arrows.

Fly on spirits would be a pain for !fly areas. We've got a way to put people and mobs in the air, but bringing them back down is another matter. A shaman spell that only works on their spirit enabling them to fly would be a better solution I think. Sometimes you want those pets to get through one wa...

Rangers can get rejuved actually. We don't have the immunity to aging from ghost mobs so we have to deal with it like everyone else. Still, it is annoying to have to rely on another person to take care of something that only really affects you and not a group you're in.

First off, I'd never compare ranged damage to what it was like on Sojourn2 when the damage was revamped to, well, actually do damage. Everyone agrees that it was absolutely insane when it first went in there. They spent a lot of time adjusting the damage after that . . . "That pretty much says it al...

I've already had half of this discussion with Zen. While his equipment is biasing things heavily, the problem of ranged damage being out of whack at lower levels isn't a new one. It had similar issues back on Sojourn 2 under the old ranged engine. The effect of the skills on damage needs to be made ...

Hitpoints per level pre 25 are determined by a random roll dependent on class and independent of any other variables and then added to a bonus determined by your constitution. After 25, they're a set number added to that same bonus based on con. The moment you stop wearing con items, you lose any be...

It would just mean that player would have had to use g all quiver put all bag or something along those lines instead. There's no quick method to move arrows around (collect only works on arrows that have actually been fired).

From my understanding of it, they decided to revamp weapons earlier this wipe but then put it on the backburner after they got through 1h piercers. New items can obviously just follow the new formula though. Hence it's mainly the old 1h slashing and 1h bludgeoning weapons that seem anemic.

Treladian

The max skill is 20. As long as you have some skill, you can fight mounted. But there's not really any point to if you're a ranger since even 20 is too low to get a flankblock and you'll probably fall off the moment you have to pick up a fumbled weapon. You just won't be forced off if one of those p...

I've definately seen defense notching on my little anti. It's the other defensive skills that aren't notching right now with the new code.

I'm wondering if ranged attacks do anything to mob defensives. I've wound up using my bow a lot more often just because I don't feel like seeing an 85% hitrate from misses alone from a hitroll that would have given me roughly 92-94% a week ago. And since rangers are being nudged towards ranged, havi...

Like most spells for rangers/dires/antis/palis, this would basically be something only used when exping or screwing around while all but useless in zones. It fits the precedent for fighter class spells and fits the class so it's worthy of consideration even if it won't be used much later on.
