I did use the map, and I used it precisely because I had wandered so much in earlier games: because the geography had changed so much.

The map is actually pretty accurate -- once you figure out which part of the icon that shows your location actually points to your location. It's not obvious (and I don't even remember without looking at it).

So? Set it to run for a set number of iterations, then stop, and have some user input required to make it run the routine again.

Canning (note the second 'n', muffin) is a warning status. It warns you that your behavior is one step away from a ban. It is only going to go away if your behavior changes.

I haven't been paying much attention lately, so I don't know what your behavior has been like recently. I know that it was pretty atrocious when you first showed up, and then (even before the ban) it got a lot better -- for which I validate you heartily! -- but it still needed improvement. If you really have ceased answering questions you aren't qualified to answer (especially in tech support), making pointless posts (and worse, pointless topics), and overreacting to simple comments made by others in ways that tend to fan flames, then (and only then) I would encourage you to politely PM a mod to ask about it.

Forgive me if I decline to learn about art from someone who tells me with some exactness what the purpose of the art was and what its impact is, as if those things were knowable.

The exact quote:

It's Picasso.

So basically, non-humanity would be a trait. Sounds balanced. In A4, 2 trait humans would be chosen over 1 trait nephils, but 2 trait nephils and 3 trait humans would each offer advantages.

TSR certainly didn't help anything -- and neither did WotC for that matter -- but I think it's the gaming community as a whole that is sexist. It's a very different kind of sexism from what we have in business or politics, one that comes more from confusion and awkwardness than domination or hatred; but it's no less ugly in expression.

Personally I'd just be happy if the Nephils weren't overwhelming better than the Sliths. Although having playable humans would be nice. :P

You can play with humans -- they're just close to 100% inferior to Nephils. In the end this doesn't make a massive difference outside of Torment, though.

No, you can't do that. The only games that list stuff like that in accessible text format are the Avernumscript (BoA, N:R) and Geneforge engine (G1-4, A4) games.

Viability of Lifecrafter investing heavily in spells in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Member # 261
 written Tuesday, October 2 2007 19:20 Profile Homepage #1
A lifecrafter who invests heavily in spells, and an infiltrator who invests more in Int and creations, are very similar.

IIRC, the lifecrafter only starts with 1 more Int than the infiltrator does. The essence multiplier is more significant, but not hugely so, and the infiltrator does have better return on skill points for magic skills.

The infiltrator will be a little hardier, which can make her a bit more flexible. The extra bit of essence for the lifecrafter can on the other hand give him a bit more brute offensive power.

Jewels, I am pleased to see that you have resurrected my original tradition of elemental 'elitism' as regards requiring at least one actual connecting fact to claim an element, and have dispensed with the destructive democracy of the days of Dikiyoba.

And the face of the GIFTR turned up in hope, so long had he waited to hear those words three times in succession.
