Probably an obvious answer, but does Maxi have a chance of dropping something other than his leg?

Thanks, hopefully I get something more than XP!

I keep seeing this in the list. The other day when A reset it was stuck for a few with just that entry listed in the list.

http://www.realmshelps.net/faerun/underdark/pix/undermap.jpg L'obsul and and Edonil are somewhere in the upper-left corner right? West of the 'Northdark' ?

Edonil doesn't exist anymore. I think L'Obsul is around that part. I might be wrong.

What's the name of the acid rain attack Viragos and Spires Witches use?

Storm of Vengeance

I need a clarification from the DM's on one particular thing, which i had difficulty confirming or denying. I asked two DM's already, one said it's fine, the other that it isn't.

DC request of a summon.

Now mind you, i did find a rather clear statement, that new summons will not be added to the module. But what about requesting something that already exists in the palette?

For example:
A cleric requesting a custom spell, which will summon a creature from the Shades: Summon Shadow? In other words, requesting something that normally you don't have, but other classes have by default.

Is this ok, or a no go?

This is fine, depending on what you're requesting to summon.

I was going to ask this, been stun killed by it so many times on my Sorc.

Have you been possibly rolling a 1 on the rolls? :p

Or maybe it just hates you. SO MUCH.

As far as i'm aware, aoe spells with durations only apply the Spellcraft save bonus on the initial roll [OnEntry], if at all, but not on the successive rolls.

Thanks Sune. In this case, i'll give it a shot and see how it goes. What i want to request for myself is probably going to be an Epic Spell, a substitute for EMD. That might happen, if i make it good? [Sorry if these questions seem awkward for obvious reasons, it's my first request and i don't want to mess it up by barking at the wrong tree.]

Uhh, depends on what you'd be asking for, I think. And bear in mind we do expect a fair bit of work for epic spells, considering how special they are.

What determines the number of charges on wand? Is it totally random (within some borders) or dependable on spellcraft for example?

It is your caster level for that spell plus 1d20. So if you are a level 3 bard/27 cleric and you make a Mage Armor wand it's 3+1d20 but a Darkfire wand is 27+1d20

What Hide stat do you need to sneaks past Vrocks in the abyss? 98 and they spot me.

Infinite.

Seriously though they are good at spotting, that or listen, lol

Guess I'm going to need to invest in a lot more sneaky-sneaky things!

Haha yeah but always remember that spotters can out skill hiders.

I've suspected that something is bugged somewhere with those vrocks (and the hellwenches too). My sneak hides at +118, and she gets spotted constantly in the Abyss.

Pretty sure they have standard True Seeing. No hiding will help you.

Nothing in the Abyss has True Seeing save for the dragon.

I thought they just mentioned that more stuff had it applied? Lemme see if I can find it or if I'm just making up posts in my head. Again.

The main source of confusion comes from the hell witches, as they have See Invis but that model doesn't seem to have the See Invis visual working on them. So, it looks like they have TS when they really just have See Invis and massive Spot.

I can get past the Vrock with lower hide than people have posted. Hell wenches too, though that depends. Sometimes they see me. Other times they don't. I get spotted more often by the wenches than the vrocks.

What the factor that decides how fast will the transition load?
It used to be way faster for me, but something changed.

CPU/HDD speed + area size + client/host latency.

So nothing to do with my net speed?

I have a question about skill point dumping as I play a wizard, a wonderfull class which gets a lot of skillpoints but is a bit limited in class skills sadly.

I am really torn between levelling my wizard Harold up as a pure wizard and having to pay double for a lot of interesting skills as a result or taking one late epic rogue level and spreading the points more cost effectively but having a level then that doesnt suit him rp-wise.

Harold isnt a roque or rogueish even but as a dwarf put it eloquently yesterday he is a 'know it all' and I like him to have some knowledge of many skills so paying double may leave me short on points.

Advice would be very welcome.

"Know it all"? Replace rogue with bard and you're set. You don't have to sing and dance, as a 1 level bard, y'know [though if you want to, nobody is stopping you either]. Bard is an arcane class too, it could represent your character's further affinity for lore, appreciation of art and as for the rest of useful skills - long years of adventuring.

Thats a really good idea! Thanks!

Potentially, yeah. Host/client latency is a factor, as you might have noticed during those lag sprees areas took a bit longer to load than usual. It works the same way on your end too, but unless your net is really the pits, I don't think it'll change much. The game was made for 56k, after all.

The thing is that it used to be way faster. Now it's taking anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds to load. So I'm trying to figure what went wrong.

I would've thought it might have had to do with the dynamic resources plugin.

Nope, we don't do it for areas. And it's actually faster to load dynamically, even if we did.

2 questions

A) Can anyone link me to a PC request thread for someone requesting a banner flag?
B) Is there a way of changing the colours of the 'Trumpet with flag' item or even requesting that as a unique item with different colours and an image on it aswell?

My gut feeling would be "no" for color change, but I have never worked with toolset tbh.

Would it be difficult?

Or how about having a flag attatched to the armour, as one of the neck or cloak pieces so it can be crafted, something similar to:

(sorry it had to be 40k but it was the only picture I could find as an example)

Changing anything in the toolset would require a hak update, unless I am totally mistaken.

Is there a mechanical system for factions on Amia, like there is on Arelith? I've come from Arelith, and while I prefer Amia, there are parts of Arelith I'm trying to adjust to not having, such as the factions system.

Is there anything similar on Amia, or is it all regulated/coordinated in-character?

Regulated in-character. Most factions have a faction insignia that you can 'flash' to other PCs, but that's about it.

I renamed my override folder into override_Backup and created a new fresh and EMPTY override folder. Guess what happened?

I now run nwn on full graphics in kholingen with up to 8-9 players without a single glitch. I load areas like amia forest in 2 seconds and i can fight in the burning crypt without crashing.

I ONLY have the headpack.

Edit - Basically i removed all overrides.

Yeah, I should revisit my override folder. I think I have some things that conflict over the past three or so years haha. Couldn't hurt at least.

No mechanical faction system a-la Everquest/WoW. But if you piss off PCs, as 666WaysToHell noted, you can find lots of people hating you in short order. And, as always, if you're unsure if you should be able to go into an area (like an undead-creating necromancer sneaking into Kohlingen), ask a DM

I dug through the forums for this and even the NWN Wiki.... but... can't get a real answer.

How much UMD do you need to use wands and scrolls on Amia? In Singleplayer, I have a pc with 2 UMD, they seem to be able to use wands, but not all scrolls... They are a cleric btw, as I know that makes clerical spells possible, but not necessarily arcane....

Does anyone have the rules regarding UMD on Amia?

Thank you!

I think it's 10+level, so 19 UMD to use 9th level scrolls.
For the server, you need 25 UMD to use everything. This value is including the charisma modifier and any other source that increases it.

UMD goes in increments of 5 I though?

Cerpin, what about wands?
