The World of Avlis

I agree. They were trying to fit the overview of an entire world into a single book. That isn't an easy task, though they did an outstanding job of it.

This has definitely been a great Christmas gift for me.

I suggest that you go check out Le'Or'T'Nanshi, preferably with guide(s). Its not too far from Elysia Elf Gate and I bet you could arrange a for someone to show you a safe way to get there. Le'Or has excellent scenery, the best FedEx quests and several places that a low-level character can reasonabl...

Cool, thanks!

See?!?! It wasn't me!

Welcome aboard, now even I have someone to blame.

Thats what you think. Those wool shears are cursed and will shave your character bald the next time you hit the R button. Have you ever seen a bald wemic? Its not pretty.

Thanks everyone. You'd better hope your character has armor with DR:Cows 50/-
Mwa ha haaa

Remember that much of the coin involved in these auctions is simply changing hands over and over again. After Character A buys something from Character B for a million gold the coin doesn't just vanish! Sooner or later Character B will go buy something from Character C for a million gold. Other than...

Oh excellent, thanks for this. I deleted that post then since it doesn't seem there is a problem.

I've always been a little mystified by the abundance of equipment with 5% immunity (or vulnerability) to whatever type of damage. Does anyone seriously notice 5% either way? Am I just misunderstanding how this works? Say an enemy can smack you down with 100 points of slashing damage, but you have 5%...

On a side note the Underdark being down is my fault and completely unrelated to the DNS issue :oops: Unfortunately, this is the server I am on, so I am stuck :headbash: Any forecast for resurection (or raise dead) of Underdark? I asked for help on DM channel / thread in the hope that I could server...

Additionally why not discuss having a system in the future that perhaps ties an actual evaluation of peoples RP (via their progress in player guilds seems one better way of tracking this) to how their XP caps works, for everything, not just the monster XP. In short, the better your RP is recognised...

...how many people capped out for the week under the new system and then felt they weren't supposed to travel with friends for the rest of the week... I'm probably not the only person who has no idea where you're getting this from. Its OK to go travelling and adventuring without getting xp and with...

Is a Xenomorph involved?

Its a bug-hunt.

Ha haa

Don't they already do that?

Or does this mean that only the creators/controllers get xp from those kills? If so this could create some hard feelings towards trappers/summoners.

That sums up the problem here. Reminds me of the expression "You can't cheat an honest man"

I think Fire Monkey had an interesting point actually. Why can wizards ID Sorc spells? Why can sorcs ID cleric spells? Why can wizards ID psionics? Why can psionicists ID wizard, sorc and cleric spells? One answer: Spellcraft. Due to game mechanic issues we have one skill covering the identification...

I've seen plenty of non-spellcasters who crash a lot too. I'm sure there are some who are doing it intentionally, but I personally doubt they are in the majority. I don't even play spellcasters so I don't really care I guess, but I think those sorts of scripts would really screw the honest folks who...

The bunny rabbit one does look strange, I like the others. I'd like to see the hood, with the face from #3...so a hood with a steel mask. Like Dr. Doom! Only not. You mean like this ? :) http://www.robinsonworkshop.com/doomhood.jpg Thats AWESOME! Wheres the one that looks like Destro or COBRA Comma...

On my first trip there last night I heard combat music extremely often across multiple areas yet I never see anyone actually fighting. The music runs on and on. Im not sure if this is this a bug I should report. Advice? Thanks.

Why would a commoner get more skills than a fighter? It's a commoner! Because they wouldn't spend all their time learning to wield swords, wear armor and fight monsters. Do you think that Navy SEALS currently operating in Ira-q usually keep up with the events of Wall Street or buy and sell a lot of...

is this an inside joke? What would be the point of a commoner class? (Other then RP of course...) Maybe they could have a lot of skill points and have the CHA skills as class skills? You could take a level of that and then continue as psion LOL That would be great! Tons of skills like a rogue or ev...

Yeah, it works fine. This is about the only thing that helps my fighter/psion.

"Port"

"So if I say Port Nireth, I am really saying 'Port Port?'"

"Essentually..."

Oh no, now thats gonna drive me crazy everytime I see it. I cant stand redundant phrases. Thats like when people say "rate of speed" I just wanna scream "speed IS a rate!"

One suggestion in concept.. when there's no air, only Silent spells should be castable... you can't talk with no air to breath! -spool32 That is a good observation. I guess it wouldn't apply in this particular case since Girlysprite said "...the air is stale and old." But the idea of vacuum or lack...
