Well...

I logged into Mikona with my new Changeling and I had a Changeling Hide in my inventory.

So I went to LeOr to test a changeling. After being booted by the autobic golem I checked back to find my character had disappeared.

After that I made a test wemic that worked fine.

I created another test Changeling with a different name. It disappeared too.

Okay, I've done a few more changeling tests with the auto-biccer.

I logged off before the character was changed into a Changeling and checked to see if the character had disappeared, but it hadn't. I logged back in and talked to the auto-bic golem and asked to be a Changeling. Then when I logged in my character had gone. It seems to only happen with the Changeling, but I haven't tried all the races...

I tried to make a changeling in LeOr but after the Golem booted me, I waited a minute or so, and logged back in, and the char was gone.

I tried twice to create a changeling with the same results as above.
I also tried using a character I created a couple of days ago, but didnt use, with the same result also.

Ghost Elf worked fine though.

I'm happy to report that I successfully created a changeling without it being deleted after the golem booted it.

Yay. Just need to fix the ability now (note: I tried logging the new changeling on to Mikona and it didn't work)

Half-Nymphs no longer get their +5 SR.

Half-Nymphs get 'fake' bonus stats (as you'd do if you wanted a subrace without using auto-bic) before they become half-nymphs via the golem. I think this used to happen before the patch but it never caused a problem.

I've been trying to make a Half-Nymph with a myriad of problems. I began with creating as normal about 4 or 5 days ago, make a half-elf, talk to the golem in Le'Or start area and wait while the shanges are made then log back in. When Iwould log back in though the changes would not have appeared. So I searched the forums and found a thread about making certain types of custom races, and found that maybe I was spenging too many skill points as when I go from half-elf to half-nymph my int gets -2 so I would have 4 less points at first level. However this method doesn't seem to be working either, all that happens is after being in the server for about 30 seconds (after making a char with 4 extra skill points unspent) I get a message in the message box saying exactly: "This character is invalid - FAIL no file found" and it boots me. This also happened when i was trying to make a regular old fashioned dwarf fighter on the deglos server too!! (mind he did have 6 charisma, 8int and 8 wis, and I thought maybe that's illigal on this server but I can't find anything saying it is)
what am I doing wrong??

I created a half nymph just fine short of one problem with the SR. Try not to go for ?b?r st@atz0rz with 6 int and all that...

The feat Darkvission doesn't work.
When somebody cast darkness or something else that makes it dark. I am just as blind as anyone.

I dont really think its's uberstats if half of them are 8 or below :wink: but if this constitutes and invalid char on this server I'd like to know, I wanted to make a char that was soely a follower to be dominated easily in the mind and is tougher that a sack of bricks, masybe who has little out bursts of lossed control now and then but, I like the RP opportunities. :arrow: DM comment?

appart from that I'll try another half-nymph today but I dont know wheather I should put in all his ability points or leave 4 unspend since he's going to get -2 int, but I now have SIX half-elf characters sitting around who are never going to get used and that number will only increase I guess untill I actualy get some feedback on what the hell to do.

happy gaming guys, guess I'll be there eventualy....

Try making a character with the same subrace as the ones that don't work, with stats like 12 12 12 14 14 14 or something similar just as a test.

Don't pick any skills at all and pick a very basic feat like expertise.


If you still have a problem with invalid characters, then it'll probably be a hak or something you've added to your NWN folder that didn't download properly or was interfering with Avlis servers. The golem in LeOr works fine for me.

That isn't what dark vision does. Dark vision = low light vision but better.
