The World of Avlis

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS, MAL!!!!!




Oh, Damar too

A few days ago Elenya rented room 6 after a tip from someone who checked out. Later, there was a system reset, but I didn't think anything of it 'cause she'd been through several transitions. But when I went to unload a bunch of stuff last night, the key was missing. Did someone else successfully re...

PST! Every time you have chance to take great constitution instead of epic toughness -> take great constitution, why? because it is better... In the end, same HP, BUT better saves... and easier to get epic DR I & II & III as well... Yep, and expertise is nice :wink: Psst! "In the end"? How many lev...

Nanshi Urbaz is the city you first enter when you come through the gate from T'Nanshi. Continuing south will bring you to the T'Nanshi gate.

Are you in an area labeled Deglosian Causeway? If so, you've got a ways to go to get to Nanshi Urbaz.

I wasn't pointing at Fifur because he can dish damage. I was pointing at him because, with 450+ hitpoints and probably an absurd fortitude save, he can outlast just about anything. Expertise is great against melee. But when damage of all sorts is flowing in, nothing beats a boatload of hitpoints. Af...

Want a tough character who can be the front line?

*points at Fifur BoulderShoulder*

Do that!

Note: Chances are, if the choice is between 1 longsword and 1 longsword + 1 shortsword, and if you have dual-wielding feats (natural for a ranger, or 2-weapon fighting + ambidexterity for everyone else), then dual wielding will do more damage. The exception is if you find you're missing with every s...

Elenya is a strength-based rogue/fighter who never planned to take SD, and so didn't have the feats. But then things changed for her, and now she is considering it. However, her concentration on strength has left her a bit heavy-footed, so she's going to have to work at it (ie earn the feats in a fe...

Although it seems you can overwrite a test character by making a new one with the same name. Careful - this doesn't always yield the desired results. I've tried that and ended up losing some stuff/time when I either logged out and back in, or portalled to another server. It was a long time ago, don...

Great News!

Congrats, TEK!

Cacuus, I did something the other day very much like you describe. I was collecting beetle bellies, and had to rearrange my inventory to hold more. I moved a very valuable (and borrowed!) item into a bag, then continued on. Later, I couldn't find the item. I looked and looked in every bag. Then I we...

First, thank you Orleron for the update and for all the vision and work that has gone into creating this wonderful Avlis world that consumes so much of our time, thought, energy, sleep, etc. :) I had a couple reactions when reading about the future expansion plans, and humbly offer a couple tidbits ...

Sorry, don't want to hijack, but does monk natural spell resistance (after level 12) stack with spell resistance found in some robes, cloaks, etc.?

What's considered high? 20, 30, 40?

Cool! Now I can install HotU and check out any new portraits, character models, and such.

Thanks Team for keeping current and Lafferty & Orleron for the instructions.

Worgain,

Hey, let's get your STUPID CHEATER half-ogre together with mine. I'll bet we can find some more and form up a gang or something

What were your stats and feats? Perhaps the half-ogre stat adjustments resulted in an invalid combination (like Ambidexterity with a DEX less than 15).

Well, this is fun! Created a Bard 16 / Fighter 4, and I get to see a few dangerous places solo that I've never seen before. If you want to use the basic game to make a reasonable uber character, open up NWN Chapter 4, create a new character, use DM commands to give yourself 200k exp and start levell...

I wasn't able to hit that NWVault link for some reason, but this seemed to work:

http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/hakpacks/d ... 7399.shtml

I put the .erf file in the NWN/texturepacks directory, and the .hak in the NWN/hak directory.

This is totally cool. HUGE thank you to the Team.

Uh, folks, I think you'll find that the "forehand" attack of a double weapon (e.g. doubleaxe) is only 100% of damage modifier, not 150%. So the primary attacks with a double weapon include 100% of the damage modifier, while the off-hand attacks enjoy 50% of the modifier. You only get the 150% if you...

Double weapons operate the same as dual-wielding. Ambidexterity, Two-weapon Fighting, and Improved TWF all give the same benefits for double weapons. The advantage is that the off-hand of a double weapon counts as a small weapon, but has a large weapon's damage. Also, if you take weapon focus, impro...
