Re: Weird Video bug.... Semi Transparent weapons?

Check that you also have environment mapping on creatures enabled under video options. I've seen some weird stuff like that when I accidentally turned it off. Of course, on some video cards, environment mapping on creatures causes some textures to not appear correctly. This means some monsters, pla...

Re: One Final OOC For the Evening

...

Re: dynamic model cloaks?

Someone would have to make some changes to the models themselves (most likely with a 3D modeling program) to see Bioware cloaks. If they did it like how models equip weapons, you would have to add a special "node" to the neck area for the cloak to attach to (I guess I could open up a human model and...

Re: Stoneskin not stacking?

As for Ekl's case, I beleive what you have there is Acid resitance on the spell and acid resistance on the item, hence they dotn stack. In fact I checked an dit woudl seem Im right, go me. :P Nope. My old PC Eldrea used to have Epic Energy Resistance Acid I and a 10/Acid item and, while those two s...

Re: Stoneskin not stacking?

All correct except that battle bands aren't damage reduction, they're resistance, and THAT is why (I think) they stack. And I have a Monk/Sorcerer that has a high con with 2 epic DR feats (6/- right now) and that's exactly how the stoneskin and innate DR work. Stoneskin's 10/+5 is used up until it ...

Re: Stoneskin not stacking?

The items are x/-, the feats are x/+20. As far as I know, the reduction spells and feats don't stack. This is not correct. No matter how high your Enhancement bonus, you will always subtract the listed number if you have a Damage Reduction ability. The Feats are x/-. Dwarven Defender Damage Reducti...

Re: Stoneskin not stacking?

anyone know if there's a problem with stoneskin not stacking with battle bands/epic DR/Dwarven Defender DR? either the umber hulks i was fighting had +5 fists, or it was just ignoring my stoneskin. my stoneskin has been running out due to duration, rather than just being beaten through which is kin...

Re: Character Build Question - Mages take a lookski

Actually no. The main requirement is being a 21st in a caster class. Meaning you need 21 lvls in one of Wizard, Sorc, Cleric or druid. You are still off. From the NWN Wiki: Automatic still spell Prerequisite: Spellcraft 27, 21st level, cast 9th level spells, Still spell Meaning you need 21 total ch...

Another reason why WIS and CHA are so difficult to RP is the fact that your character develops over time. As your character moves about Avlis and interacts with people, his/her actions and deeds may increase his/her fame. Thus, even a low CHA character ends up having alot of people look up to them o...

I have a better idea on how to get rid of chronic powergamers. Every time a DM sees them powergaming, they lose 5 or 10 levels. Bang, problem solved. Hell yeah! Every DM should enforce their own personal arbitrary system of what consitutes "chronic powergaming" on all of us. If you dont like it, se...

See, you are going about this all wrong. There is an easy way to completely get rid of "powergamers" once and for all. Get rid of ALL IG sources of XP: DM cookies, Crafting, Quest Rewards, Monsters, etc. Every Monday, you get 3000 XP. If you dont log in on Monday, you get a flag or something in your...

Will it have the dynamic models for PC Orcs, Ogres, Kobolds, etc., already included? Best solution for dynamic orcs was to use the half-orc model. The half-ogre model has clipping problems and many people dont like the way it walks. However, I would take these problems in a heartbeat, if it ment Ga...

I totally disagree. It's not about whether DR5 completely stops the damage or not, it's the cumulative effect. Lets compare the relative worth of +2 AC and DR5 We're talking damage resistance, not damage reduction . I fully agree that damage reduction 5/- is definitely worth a +2 bonus. Damage resi...
