I've been asking this for months now, and I've been told there is a version out there with no sounds.

I can't for the life of me find it though.

I listen to The Smiths, and Radiohead. But quietly - I like the background sounds...

Of course, that would make the rats English, and from the Victorian era, and thus impervious to everything but gout. That probably wouldn't be a good idea plotwise, though..

I'd use lots and then edit a SDF so that I would have actually used none.

Seriously though, I don't know if I'd use them. People can be manipulated in ways not involving raw power, and I've always been good with words...

Damage types... in Blades of Avernum Editor
Shaper
Member # 3442
Profile Homepage #0
Okay, had an idea last night, but dunno how workable it is... Basically, I would like to know if there is a way to record what kind of damage a PC does to a bad guy..

Example - party x always uses a particular spell against the bad guys, who for arguments sake are bandits. Now, after a while the bandits realise that they keep being pummelled by the same spell, and make armour to counter it. So if it was Ice Lances, for example, the bandits make armour that would give a resistance to cold damage, and so on.

In order to do this, I'd need to record how often the party uses a particular attack type (probably in a series of SDFs), and adjust monster stats accordingly. And I can't see a way of doing this...

Any ideas? And if I'm right and there isn't a way, any workarounds that you might think of would help :P

Thanks.

I have put no thought into resolutions at all, which is never surprising.

Erm, now I'm on the spot though, I think I should to try and aspire to actually do something productive every day.

As for quitting bad habits, etc, what would be the point? I'd only start them again in a moment of uncharacteristic weakness...

I "write".

I would like to teach though, and I have A Levels in Economics and Psychology, so I take more than an interest in those subjects, but don't have a degree in them.

House Unshaperlike Activities Committee in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

With all respect, you people aren't getting my point at all.

Healing magic in the Geneforge world AS IS is a shaping skill. I know. But, if shaping was replaced, or never existed, which people mentioned elsewhere in the thread, my point is that there is a possibilty that some other school of magic would develop it's own ways of healing, like the priest spell in Avernum. Without shaping, or using essence.

I think I should clear this up.. I HAVE played all the Geneforge games, with the exception of the newest addition. What I was getting at was the point that healing magic exists without Shaping. Shapers may use essence to heal others, but did the Sholai? And, what about healing magic in Avernum? What's to say that with the lack of any shaping, that kind of healing magic wouldn't be developed?
