What needs to change is the terminology used to better go along with the actual D&D game. First off an actual cursed item is a bad thing ie sword of backbiting or one that is -2 -2 and is "cursed" so you can't easily get rid of it ( a curse is a bad thing). Now weapons that are no drop...

same thing happened to me once. I think if it's not in the papers you where give already you'll get some as to whom to pay the rent to. In my situation there was a lawyer for the bank collecting all the rents and applying them to the load which makes sense. If the land lord isn't making the payments...

I've updated Ragorn with some basic weapons and armor. You can see a list of basic weapons available here. If you're looking for stats on armor, this is the page you want to visit. Ragorn carries a longsword and heavy wooden shield as his melee equipment. You can see how I've laid out the statistic...

I wrote a bard set that takes everything into account, correct delay, and if it should fail just a small delay and re-sing. So the only reason I requested this was because it would simplyfy gameplay in general, not for me. I think the larger picture is for people who can't write scripts etc they ar...

I believe everyone is missing the point of my posts. fumes have a detriment. A very large one, that if max_stat changes go into effect will in practice make fumes NEVER used. My question is, will equipment like that one particular item be changed where people will actually use it still, or shall we...

I won bracelet hrm 3 or 4 trips ago I think, maybe it was before that I forget.

If you could change the start time t...

I don't play a bard currently, but I can see how the current setup prevents you from the accidental lag as a result of an unfortunate double-tap of the enter key. Bashing also does this and its helpful to prevent lagging yourself by mistake in combat when that lag might kill you (read: flee). If yo...

The max_stat flag isn't changing so much as disapearing, as I understand it. Since there is no maximum ceiling for stats, having something to raise that nonexistant boundary would be pointless. My guess is that max_stat items (whether plus or minus) will just give more significant bonuses to the ch...

When you as bard want to shift a song with another song you type: sing <- to stop the song wait a little sing song <- to sing the next song. if you dont wait you get this message: You are not composed enough to sing. I suggest you remove the wait, and then imidiatly begin to sing the new song, but ...

As one of the players that got the ressfx put in back in 96, it is there to prevent folks from attacking a mob with a very small group and just dying alot and ressing back up all you want. If there is no negative to doing this strategy why would folks not use it? The ressfx is there to discourage u...

In mobile creation you have no ability to select a type of attack in the current setup. All attacks are based upon the mob race(i.e. ghosts touch), however with the talk of changes it is easy to infer that this particular issue might be taken care of. No this doesn't give every mob a weapon that ca...

interesting idea

it wouldn't be kept mem'd, like revive, but only mem'd when needed, it could work like embody where as you can only have one person under it's effect, combined with bard song, that one person would recover faster than with the regular bard song only.

It has nothing to do with negativity. Last time I checked there was this project in the works... cordially known as 2.0. Ever heard of it?

Ever read a description for a mob? Many of those list weapons and armor the creature has on it that aren't necessarily items to be had. I fail to see how this is different than putting actual crap items on the corpse. Play Balder's Gate sometime and notice how much crap loads on corpses and how muc...

Why should a high level unarmored enemy fall to a low level one covered in platemail?

I guess what I would like to see is area updates, even if you give the mobs !take/transient gear it still would give the game a better feel/look especially for newbies. An un-armed, un-armored orc stands here, I have weapons and armor, I should be able to kick his ass even if he is many levels highe...

Seems like there will be a way to alter the group list, to show who is in front who is in the back etc? Maybe a number assigned to group members, which can also be reasigned. Currently it's follow the leader, which usually means the leader enters the room first, thus would be up front. As a side not...

Latreg

In practice, it requires a good bit of finesse and preparation to effectively counterspell. How will you prevent people from just using triggers to activate counterspells? Same way they do now for skills and spells, you can't. I think the idea is, if you try to counter a spell you still use up one ...

yeah seems like an enchantment to me....unless it's like alcohol it makes you think you are stronger and smarter than you are, it's just an illusion.

I certainly see this as being a very useful tool at keeping some of you tools from posting. Certainly would keep things on topic and flames etc out. I'm Elite at not being Elite.

group armor for clerics, if any class should have a group protection spell should be cleric, could work like divine blessing where it's alignment dependant.
actually why not implement it now.

I do it in zones. I am not the type to go out and just practice skills mindlessly for hours. It drives me insane. Hell, my bash is still 97. My shieldpunch, though, is stuck at 81.

I'd say both items are fine. what I ment was if ...

comparing a cleric item with a mage item isn't really a good comparison. clerics in general have easier access to ac eq. don't know what you are talking about, both the robe and dragonskin can be worn by clerics.... guess while I'm at it, how about the boots, falcons not so hard to quest, muspel ri...

I'll be there :)

I think the bc robe needs a little more something, if you compare it to the muspel dragonskin it really isn't that much better. if you look at the restrictions and saves, the dragonskin is better in a lot of instances, the difference in hps really is a minor benefit considering the amount of damage ...

Latreg

give the current situations, using the opposite side to fill out groups so you can do a zone I think would be ok. BC as an example if it means doing it or not because of not enough people, seems zoning would be better than not for the mud and the players, but I would say only 2 out of the 15 should ...

Nebula you would just have to recurse, you can't put stuff on auction that has been altered. Really the only problem you'll run into is weapons, because cursing or remove curse on them alters their stats, non weapon items will be fine.
