It probably just sounds neat... but does nothing as of yet, placeholder stuff.
Otherwise, if it's a dagger go hit something a few times with it, subtract your STR mod (If any) and if the result is over 4+whatever other bonuses there are on said dagger, voila!

Umm... Discipline is used to resist all non-magical combat feats if memory serves, or something... either way, te only reason wizards seem overpowered is because most of them don't survive to get to Lvl20, or even Lvl10, that's the way the system was designed: Powerful mages are to be few and far be...

The official PNP version of "Find Traps" is nowhere NEAR this powerful. All it does is let you use you make a Search roll as if you had a level in Rogue, meaning that you can detect traps above DC 20 (in PNP only rogues can detect traps greater than DC 20). It doesn't even give you a bonus to Searc...

Re: Oriental type characters

A ronin is still a samurai. A ronin is a lordless samurai. A non-samurai without a lord would just be a bandit/mercenary or whatever. In general you could not become a ronin without first having been a samurai. So where do the Kenshi fit in? i.e. someone with a Katana (Maybe not the wachizachi) but...

Hey, bud... less caffiene, more herbal teas. :) It takes a bit for them to get through everything, and I do not think there is an auto-reply set up to it.

See the thread in the bug forum, but yes, even though they do not have names or descriptions, you are able to learn, memorize, and cast the new spells... but your chances of finding a scroll of said spell are extremely low until Avlis does swap over.

Right... I'm not sure what this means, but I just created a character in Avlis: Mikona, with SoU Skills and Feats. I have not tested to see if they are completely implemented (i.e. Part of the basic gameplay code as of 1.3) nor do the feats and skills have a name or description attached... but Glitc...

Well, removing Discipline and putting in the stock rules PnP for "resisting" combat feats where applicable.. I couldn't argue with that, personally I don't know if it's a balance thing, but the discipline thing sounds like lazy coding.

Wrath, I think this is relevant to what you are saying.... I think in NWN (not sure about 3rd ed.) knockdown only works against a foe 1 size category bigger or smaller than you.
