Stone Benches/Tables Placeables?

I have a headache looking through all the placeables now. If it exists, can anyone point me to a good stone bench and table? The only ones I can find are the CEP stone chair and split stone table, neither of which I want. Thanks in advance.

Ive never seen any, but you could combine a few pieces of other items to make a decent looking table perhaps. There are several pieces of columns in one section of the placeables that could be manuevered to look rather nice.

Thanks for the answers. Sometimes the organization of these things goes right past me.

Everything stone can be converted into a chair if you adjust the location accordingly. Generic stone altars, for example, could be slapped with a negative figure on the z-axis so that the height would be roughly equivalent to a normal chair's surface. Then, an invisible object can be placed and given the appropriate seating scripts.

I'll have to try that, I'm just now learning the true toolset tricks like that.

The drow and illithid chairs aren't exactly stone, but they might do - not sure what you are building.

There is also the scripted method - basically, taking a wooden chair or table and slapping a stoneskin visual effect on it to make it look stone.

See, I was thinking about that, but haven't had time to try it. The one issue: what would be the simple way to apply it to a placeable, on what event? I would prefer not using the heartbeat event, OnEnter, or OnModuleLoad, but what does that leave me? OnUserDefined?

We use the OnEnter event in Avlis. With a variable slapped on the placeable so it doesn't have the effect applied every time another creature enters the area.
