Uh... not only is a slith swordsman a bad choice, but a slith tank is even worse. Since they're never going to be able to hold a shield (assuming that you wise up and switch to spears), they'll take unpleasant amounts of damage until you get Parry and Riposte (or, pending that, Answering Gauntlets). And those take a while.

And I agree with Alo about the non-mage thief. I managed to get a thief up to 28 Tool Use, while keeping them very proficient in Bows and half-decent with a blade. The mage aspect just makes it easier...

I think that worked for just about every situations where bandits tried to levy a toll. Ah for the good old days of half-blind bandits...

Actually, it's even easier if you use Daze. Then just pick 'em off one by one, and make sure Joe is still dazed when its his turn to move.

I'm still designing a pseudo-sequel to DoK. When I say sequel, I mean two things: it's after DoK, and some characters carry over. However, it's a bit stalled right now... but I'm going to start working again before break ends.

!= means "not equal to".

It's indispensible when working with SDFs, in my humble opinion.

Let's not forget their total excess of legs. That would probably account for some of their insane parry/riposte abilities. And their incredibly speed (let's not forget how many times your party gets "ambushed" by a horde of chitrachs in what was moment before an empty corridor) would also help.

You can't get in from the south until you've come in from the north. You can't come in from the north until you've gone west of Fort Remote.

By the way, have fun with the pylons.

No, it's just labelled differently, I think. In A3, it's something like "Make Anama forgive you".

Ouch, that stretches the screen.

1) I agree that it's probably a reset_dialog() problem.

2) Take out the end(); that's within the if-statement. That's what's keeping the state from getting to the set_flag() call before the second time through.

3) Funny how that works. Happened to me a lot as well.

In all honesty, this topic doesn't need to be here. It might belong in the Blades forum, but not here. And even if it was in the Blades forum, I doubt it would get a whole lot of attention.

And arghhhhhhhhh, just as a rule: posts should be longer than your sig.

EDIT: And longer than one word.
