I don't know. I liked the original Matrix the first time I watched it, but I also like Pirates of the Carribean and LotR - it's hard to decide. I guess Matrix is out due ot it's horrible successors ;) Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

Being Nephil gets you: +2 DEX, +1 more every 7 levels starting at level 7 (7, 14, 21, etc.,) +1 Level of Missile Damage, same levels (1, 7, 14, 21, etc.,) Thats all. No bonus AP. At all. When combined with Divinely Touched you get another + to dex which is nice if you want a superfast char, but no bonus AP. Sorry, but thats the way it is, I have a level 80 Nephil with no FoF and he still has 4 AP base. Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

Argh, this IS an old topic isnt it. Stupid forum glitch reported it as being a week old. Hmph. Either way......if Jeff won't/cant fix the problem, why cant we? Surely someone who plays this game has the technical know-how. Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

Arcane Blow does 2.5 extra damage per level of bonus, which is INT+MAG+MGR, Which in my case meant quite a bit: Roughly 25 INT + 20 Mage spells and maybe 10 Magery? 55*2.5 = 130, thats no pittance ;) My real problem is the SP costs! They're nutty! I want a way to make my mage BETTER than a warrior, but without using potions. The way things stand with these ridiculous costs, though, it seems warrior is the way to go, since the spells cost to damned much, and barely do more damage.

Details are in the manual? Not on special skills...? Oh, you mean on intelligence. Btw, I'm asking how to make spells DAMAGING and more SP Efficient, OTHER THAN energy potions ;) Btw what bonuses does Magery give to your actual spells? Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

ARGH! I posted this on the Lyceum, I'm echoing it here. How the hell do you make mages in BoA efficient?! Thier MP costs are huge all of a sudden (25 for Arcane blow instead of 15, as an example) and even 30 levels of Mag Efficiency doesn't seem to lower the costs all that much. Not to mention, even my Nephil who'd never trained in Melee Weapons seemed to do 60-100 melee damage compared to my 150-200 Arcane blow damage, and Arcane Blow takes up all my mana. AND it doesn't work on spellcasting enemies: They all have magic resistance. Can someone please help me, this is driving me nuts. Is Natural Mage really that important for magical damage? (I didnt have it, but I had Arcane Blow at level 10 and tons of magery/mage spells/intelligence) Oh, and could someone explain the exact game-mechanic effect of Magery to me? I'm dying to know, since it doesn't raise my MP at all *grumble* Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

Yeah. he stands on the Xian Anvil to get extra height so he can command more attention. That or he's just a crazy-ass bastard with nothing better to do than make crappy items. Actually, a couple of the items were semi-decent. The Xian Rock = always came back, and mass-produced rocks, so it meant infinite ammo back before we had Slings to do that for us > :) The Xian Coins produced maybe 10 coins a day, which sucks of course, unless you rush and get them at the start of the game and keep them for the rest. In which case you might get 1000 coins for your trouble, by the end of the game ;) the Xian Plant mass produced plants that sold for 20-30 coins apiece. The Xian Skull made sure you stayed awake while playing A3 ;) I find that usefull And if I remember correctly, the Vest/Pants were tradeoffs. Personally I think he tried to curse the items, and due to thier poor quality, they ended up kinda-sorta enchanted (Instead of when a person tries to enchant a poor items and it ends up cursed) And then he gave it to the adventureres because he didnt like them. They made him stop his research to teach them. Bastards. Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

Yeah, "X" is the Xian skull, wearing Xian Slacks, the Xian Vest, using the Xian Plant for his main body and the Xian Rock as his lower abdomenin. The robes must just be a little extra thing thrown in. Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

As I said, no one thusfar has been rude to me when I asked for help. But some things need to change. No matter what you do, any established group will have an established hierarchy. the thing is, suddenly everyone who played or designed in BoE is in a hierarchy over all the new BoA players. I'm not saying that having experience is a bad thing - that would be ludicrous. I'm saying that the general tone newbies get here can be somewhat discouraging. Regardless of that, the community is, by and large, helpfull. Just a bit calloused, basicly, because of thier experience. I'm suggesting thinking in terms of the newbies as much as possible, you were a newbie once, it's true, but you can't equate your experiences with thier's. They're coming into a much rougher world. The editor for BoA is very annoyingly, cumbersomely C++ coding. Hopefully, someone will get really industrious and make little buttons like "Create Coversation for Selected PC" or whatnot. Stuff that will automate that type of thing. Until such a time, it's much harder for newbies now than it was for newbies then, best I can tell. As a footnote: If you want to really understand what I'm talking about, think about how parents tell thier kids "I was a kid too, once, yknow, I know exactly what it's like". True, they were a kid. But technology has jumped forward a lot, and things in culture have changed SEVERELY. It's different. The same applies to the newb community. And once again I've spammed my own topic. If anyone got offended because of this, stop and read it again. I'm not pointing fingers, no, not even at you Creator ;) Not even when I disagreed with your statement. I was just using it as a basis for what I had to say. Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

Who are you kidding, Kelan? An argument has already been started so lets sit back and enjoy the show, while I go ahead and download Lindows with a Winux update and try it out :) maybe. Only if the people on the Linux boards think it's a good idea. Either way....I have to say Drassk seemed to pretty much agree with the other guy, but he did highlight it as superior. This is likely to lead to a heated argument, and that is likely to turn out some info about Linux we might not have had before :) Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

Like I said, not really a problem so long as it's his own post and not the actual result. I just put it in here pre-umptly before some jerk decides to post poll results and leavem there ;) Lady Davida told me she never edits her posts, so shes leaving the results she posted in my other poll up. To prevent such further things, I have simply stated: DO NOT POST POLL RESULTS! So that they can read that and hence not say "I posted first, you said that after and I refuse to edit" :P Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |
