Re: fire, ice, shocking and acid resistance and vulnerability

Note also there are +X vs. <damage type> items. These make it harder for foes with those weapons to hit you. Assuming +X is larger than your current AC of that type (usually armor). I myself have a +2 vs. slashing, 5 slashing resist armor. Which does both when I want to wear it. I think. I'm positiv...

Re: 2 maybe 3 Motherboards die in 4 months???

If you're getting a new surge protector, go all out and get one that also protects your communications line in (cable, DSL, or phone). One of my co-workers took a spike from lightning through the cable wires that took out his modem, his router, and at least one thing (can't remember which) inside hi...

May I suggest that you look into programs that can resume paused/stopped downloads such as FlashGet? They're mighty useful even with a sturdy connection :) Keep in mind you can only resume if the server supportst it. That said, I think I remember being able to resume on NWVault, which I think has t...

You know, it'd be nice for them to label it MDT rather than MT in their news releases, since that's what it is. Not a big thing, but it'd be a little more obvious what they're talking about. You can never be too obvious when you're dealing with people.

If these sites are linked, it may be wise to include some publically-accessible information on the "home" page of each site - as is, it appears that most are private and require a login to get any information about the organization. As the members who get logins are probably already members, the sit...

Check the weapontype on any weapon you find. If it has an asterisk next to the name, it's a CEP weapon and thus stuff liek Focus, Specialization, Improved Crit, etc won't work with it, along with a lot of the weapon enchanting spells... Note that Weapon Finnesse will also not work - in NWN, Weapon ...

Make certain you have a folder named "override" even if you have nothing in it. I got that error when I was messing around with my overrides to check on something, but when I changed it back everything worked just fine. My shortcut too.

Do we get the opportunity to rename our familiars when we level in sorc/wiz? I completely forgot to even look at the name when I took my first wiz last night (and I had a name I've been planning to use since the beginning) :roll:

Or you can save two skill points at every level-up, and those are your "burned" points. AFAIK, that's not an option in PnP, but the NWN engine allows it.

I have to disagree here about whether casting darkness initiates CvC - disagree with ALL of you. This is not ordinary CvC, this is about law enforcement CvC, which should be recognized as a special case. CvC was not initiated when the darkness was cast, nor when the officer responded to such an act....
