Best Class and Faction to Play in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Wednesday, February 14 2007 06:59 Profile #9 quote: Originally written by Hashi the Drug-Sniffing Canine: Repairing Moseh is 100% unnecessary to keep any areas open whatsoever. It's a myth. Even if you kill Moseh, reporting to Alwan will still earn you the pass that you need to get into the Shaper areas in the Fens. The problem is that many people kill Moseh, then assume there is no reason to report back to Alwan. The game really does reward indulging in diplomacy with the side you aren't helping. OK, true enough. I still find helping Moseh and killing the other two shapers the easiest way to ensure that chapters 3 and 4 remain open. You can turn over Monarch's papers to the rebels and so long as you've helped Moseh, can explore Burwood without fear of the infiltrators. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

Best Class and Faction to Play in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Tuesday, February 13 2007 09:15 Profile #2 I'd agree that you're best off sticking with one side, however, there's definitely more reward for helping the shapers. One quest in specific is pretty much necessary to keep several areas open- repair Moseh. I find myself repairing Moseh, then killing Shaftoe and Eliza for their stuff and to keep on the good side of the rebels. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

Where's Silverchat? in The Avernum Trilogy
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Tuesday, January 23 2007 13:17 Profile #4 Oh, I was just being obnoxious and nitpicky. I know what you meant. Maybe Nethergate v 2.0 will warrant a set of maps?

Where's Silverchat? in The Avernum Trilogy
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Tuesday, January 23 2007 12:54 Profile #2 quote: Originally written by Keeper Swap: —Alorael, who wonders how A2 fell through the cracks like that. For the favorite Avernum it has received curiously little walkthrough love. Curiously little? :P As far as walkthroughs go, it's got as good of a text walkthrough as most of the Spiderweb games (http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/565633.html). But yes, it definitely lacks the visual guides of A1 and A3. I think we were all waiting on Silvar to finish his map of A2 back when the game was still fresh in our minds in 2001. When that never happened, no one else seemed to want to take it on. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

Ridiculous droppings in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Thursday, January 4 2007 08:35 Profile #40 OK- I figured it out. It took some testing, and my statistics are based on a total of about 80 acid resistance events, and about 40 magic damage events for both with and without luck. I made an artila and had it shoot me, recorded the damage and damage resisted with and without 4 points of luck (clover boots + charm = +4 luck). Character's armor class with boots and charm: 54%, without 50%. Energy resistance with: 28%, without 26%. Acid resistance with 57%, without 45%. The artila's to hit % with boots and charm: 76%, without 84%. Total damage done by magic artila spit: With boots and charm: 747 (270 resisted) Without: 803 (241 resisted). 26.5% resisted with luck, 23.1% resisted without. This is probably best attributed to the energy resistance difference due to the armor. Total damage by acid from artila: With boots and charm: 687 (288 resisted) Without: 917 (384 resisted). 29.5% resisted with luck, 29.5% resisted without. So at first glance, luck doesn't seem to enhance resistances at all. However, there's more to it, so consider: The acid damage done per magic damage point with luck was 0.92. The acid damage done per magic damage point without luck was 1.14 The ratio of these two (1.14/0.92 = 1.24) is roughly inversely related to the ratio of my relative acid resistances (57%/45% = 1.267). So the luck doesn't act on the "damage resisted" number, but instead seems to act on the total amount of acid layers given per attack. It does seem that luck affects these resistances approximately proportional to the values on the stat page! EDIT: So this looks like the resistance percentage affected by luck is the chance to completely avoid a layer of damage, rather than resisting parts of it.

Ridiculous droppings in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Wednesday, January 3 2007 12:17 Profile #35 That's the result from my testing with a shocktrooper. I recorded my resistance before and after investment of 3 points of luck, with those results (+9% to those resists). I am probably using a different version than you, so maybe displaying those effects is one of the things Jeff changed from one version to the next? -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

Dealing with Mystithus - Spoilers in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Tuesday, December 19 2006 09:11 Profile #1 Mystithus seems a bit buggy. I believe you need to take the true image down to 1 HP, at which point it will either die or not die (there's the buggy part). Either way, you can switch your attacks to the next image. You may need to wait one turn in between bringing one image down to 1 HP and attacking the next one, though. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...

8000: Pseudoscience Postravaganza in General
Schrodinger FAQSELF Member # 3	written Monday, December 18 2006 09:55 Profile #82 quote: Originally written by Abiogenic Petroleum: While small amounts of methane are indeed produced underground by abiogenic processes, scientific consensus is that the vast majority of hydrocarbon deposits come from breakdown of formerly living matter. Early abiogenic petroleum proponents include Mendeleev, who performed experiments on the reaction of acid with steel, which produces a thin layer of oil film. However, the discovery of chirality and chlorophyll in oil pretty much ended that debate. quote: Originally written by Spontaneous Human Combustion: Many SHC victims are heavy drinkers, and probably passed out due to alcohol intoxication before their clothing was ignited by a spark or a dropped cigarette. Some SHC has been attributed to the production of the highly flammable gas diphosphine (P2H4) by anaerobic microbes in the victim's stomach, coupled with heavy alcohol intoxication. This gas is fairly abundant in swamps- perhaps similar conditions are formed after the victim passes out? -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...
