Haakai in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, December 22 2005 20:49 Profile Homepage #11 quote: Originally written by Slith Lord: If Haakais could use that spell, they would cast it about every 3 rounds and so they are completely invulnerable. I imagine that they'd be no worse than those giant chiefs with invulnerability potions. Those things last forever. At least you can still do some damage through an Arcane Shield. And at least no NPC ever, ever, EVER cast Sanctuary in A2. That'd have been unpleasant. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Honeycomb...wow in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, December 22 2005 20:44 Profile Homepage #9 quote: Originally written by Delicious Vlish: When I first decided to tackle the Honeycomb, I spent probably about 10 hours of gameplay just trying to map the whole area. It was awful. I remember running in, down some path to the north, getting one of my casters killed, and running back out as quick as possible. It was depressing, and it didn't make it any easier to get through the whole thing. It seemed that I only got people killed when I was as far as humanly possible from Mertis. I'm just glad the wolves left me alone. Not that it would've been difficult, but it would've been annoying. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

Feeding the slimes in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, December 22 2005 20:40 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by i: I thought slimes were immune to mental effects like Daze. At any rate, I put my archer/thief in first and got the slimes attention. My fighter was able to easily slip by them at that point.* Daze can hit just about anything (except pylons), in my experience. It has saved my party of all magic-users from certain doom many times. Slimes are a particularly good target for the spell. And it certainly made that quest easier... -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

dual-wielding in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, December 22 2005 20:36 Profile Homepage #1 Well, I can see why Riposte and damage to attacker would be improved by the "shield", but why Quick Strike and Parry? In fact, to keep it from being horribly broken, you might want to add some sort of penalty to defense or resistances. The last thing BoA needs is another über-weapon. And does this mean you're making a scenario? -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

I would advise against choosing any specific Avernite cities until you play A4. Unless you plan on dying before A4's plot kicks in. That said, there would be many things in A4's plot which could kill you, but I'd rather not die from the (spoiler removed). -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Any workups on magical efficiency? in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, December 21 2005 14:49 Profile Homepage #1 Well, in my experience, the freakish bonus to Spell Points from just one more level of Intelligence beats the SP-conserving bonuses from one level of Mag. Efficiency. So, bottom line: increase your SP with intelligence, and just invest in some energy potions. You end up with a lot more energy left over. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Chemistry at home, part 12 in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, December 21 2005 08:11 Profile Homepage #3 Pardon my negativity, but those finals drained most of my optimism. I just hate our university's chemistry program... it's more quantum physics than anything (shudder). And it's not even the fun kind of quantum physics... just equations and the occasional bit of molecular geometry. In short, it's not practical chemistry, and it's mostly not lab chemistry. I would much rather have it be all lab work... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, December 21 2005 07:41 Profile Homepage #1 (walks away from chemistry finals) I... hate... chemistry. The brand taught at my university is designed to weed out pre-med students. I am not a pre-med. So I suffer for no real reason. Amazing what I'll put myself through to meet my degree requirements... Honestly though, chem lab was always the best part. What would you hope to do with your home laboratory? -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

The Mountain of Shadows RP in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, December 20 2005 20:57 Profile Homepage #439 IC: Sequoia shuddered. It wasn't the cold, because he'd acclimated as much as he could, and the passage was full of stale, unmoving air. He looked around suspiciously. Why do I get the feeling that a hellish battle is about to ensue? The druid quickly decided that this train of thought was unlikely to get him anywhere, so he abandoned it. Instead, he focused his thoughts on the increasingly dark ice which formed the walls of the tunnel. Some of it looked sooty... but mostly it just looked darker, as if some thick smoke had been trapped in it. Either way, Sequoia felt unnerved by it. A breeze suddenly appeared, one which seemed to come from further up the passage. With it came what looked like a fragment of parchment, much to Sequoia's bewilderment. He nearly spoke up, but it appeared that the elf had already noticed. The elf picked up the fragment and studied it for a moment, before lightly tossing it aside. Well, if she's not concerned, then this shouldn't be too bad. Another breeze came out of nowhere, this time smelling slightly of sulfur. Stranger still, a few more scraps of parchment drifted down into the passage, and settled at the elf's feet. The elf took off at a run up the passage, with the look of someone caught in a bad dream. Sequoia and Lisha were left in the elf's wake, and they exchanged a puzzled look before setting off after the elf. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
