The World of Avlis

Half-Dryad SR on the other hand is almost, but not quite, completely useless. Poor half-dryads, they get so little love. I have had items with SR 10, SR 12 and SR 14. SR 10 was pretty useless. The others can help sometime stop "annoying spells" from low-level casters, but basically once you are hig...

Main armor types Plate: 8 base + 1 dex = 9 Chain: 5 base + 2 dex = 7 Scale: 4 base + 4 dex = 8 Studed: 3 base + 4 dex = 7 Leather: 2 base + 6 dex = 8 Padded: 1 base + 8 dex = 9 None: 0 base + no DEX limit So, no armor is the best, but you need a hell of a DEX to make it work. And uncanny dodge ot y...

Archer? Stay at the back, and let the others take the damage. Dex is reasonable, and can be buffed. STR for mighty. Sneak for extra damage. Assassin's can use poison, which I think you can use on stacks of arrows too. You have UMD and Tumble, as class skills, which are both excellent. For coolness, ...

I don't currently play a wizard, but used to. I also tried adding wizard levels at a late stage to a fighter PC (at lvl 21). So I have some feeling of what you are talking about. Regardless of whatever "flavour" of mage you choose (steel-caster, spell-sword, support mage, self-buffer or whatever) yo...

If you have an existing NWN installation, then I think the keys are stored in the nwncdkey.ini file in the NWN directory.

I just looked up the Wiki to see what changes had happened to Evard's Tentacles. I found this

Note that creatures of size Small or less are immune to Evard's black tentacles.

Is it true?

((Happy to have you try it out on me ))

2. You attack ice elementals with fire arrows. Do they hit more often and do more damage than shocking or acid arrows. Logic would say they do but do they in practice? I don't honestly know. I could look in the monster manual, but they could be totally different in NWN or in Avlis. Best way to find...

Heh heh! I originally PM'd this because it was Ask The Team.... but hey, now I can post :) (although its already all been said, so I'm just showing off now). Subject: Duel weilding rapiers I think i am bugged but not sure... My character Osric Kratos( gamespy ID is DoomsDay1000) duel weilds rapiers ...

I've got a comment on the XP code which is running live on Avlis now. It is simply that it displays all the stuff about "You have 8987 xp remaining on your level cap", etc. etc. (I forget the exact text) too often. It seems to do it on every OnEnter for a new area, and on resting (which also appears...

*ding* Just make sure you keep away from wights! (OotS reference)

When you are Epic the BAB increase is totally different, and I think it is just +1 for every other level, whatever class you are :!: (Is that right?) So, that would mean that a Fighter(20)/Mage(20) has higher BAB than Mage(20)/Fighter(20) ? (i.e. assuming they take 20 levls of fighter then mage in f...

My current PC doesn't have them, but another did. An extra +10 AC comes in very handy.

However you do need great cleave as a pre req for over whelming critical, or even the dreaded dev crit, over whelming crit is great, dev crit is pretty damn annoying, gret cleave si a good feat in its own right too, if your a fighter type build and you can spare the feat, take it, dont listen to na...

3) Great cleave is currently bugged, because each attack is at -5 AB of the last, so it soon runs out of steam. Bioware just fixed it (apparently) in the Beta that they are working on. Aren't you thinking of Whirlwind Attack? AFAIK, both Whirlwind Attack and Great Cleave where affected in the same ...

1) There is bug in the combat (been there since the start) due to the way flurries work, etc. If you get > 3 attacks per round and you kill something in the first flurry, then you end up cleaving the thing you just killed! So you waste a cleave. Great cleave partially overcomes this, because you hav...

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! That's a great idea

Fixed how Damage Resistance works against weapons that do more than one type of damage (i.e. Morning Stars and Halberds). The target now uses the worst of the multiple damage resistances angainst weapons that inflict more than one base weapon damage type. Wait, so something with Piercing resistance...

Wowzers, that's a whole heap of fine changes... whirlwind fixed, great-cleave fixed, rapid reload (wish I'd kept my cross-bow user now), ... tons of good stuff

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...

For people still having problems with DNS translation errors. You should be able to log in using the numeric IP address. See here.

In the meantime (before DNS's accross the world get updated), is it possible to log in with IP address? Or rather, what is the IP address, as I know it is possible, I've done it before in times of need Thanks.

Took "Ed The Barbarian" (lvl 21 Barbarian) down Bachwood. He still had enough XP left over from the character level and so was able to take level straight away. When I made a kill (M'check solider) I got message saying I couldn't gain any more XP until he'd levelled , and it actually took off some X...

Made another char and messed about with traps, some more... but nothing notable to report. I think, if trappers do get more XP for these things it would be nice... lets hope it works. I'll try it later if I can find somebody. Did some giants, more armor dyes dropped, named armor etc. like before. Sk...

Took Fred The Gimp (lvl 11 ranger/lvl 3 wizard) on a tour of Westshore Crypt. Tried a few traps, but none managed to kill anything (and wasn't partied anyway (nobody on) so probably not make much difference). XP was about same as normal (I did same run on the real Avlis for comparison). Still get 0x...

There is also a time-based cap of 7000xp/week. :megaeek: Sound like good changes. You want feedback posted here? Actually, 7000xp week seemed like a lot at first. And none of my PCs have ever been near that... but I guess its only 1000xp per day if you play 7 days a week, and I guess there are thos...
