Thanks :rolleyes: for that. I am new to the forum, but it seemed a lot simpler to just have all of the info on one page, because I've seen an awful lot of things that say the same. What's the point of that?

How much skills did you 'pour in'? Because I really want all of my characters to know all of the special abilities, and that could get expensive...

Thanks for that, The attacks are just randomly rolled, like a set of dice. And the fire damage is added on top of that, The extra fire damage won't do much agiainst fire immune things, or fire resistant. Some of my people are very fire resistant. :rolleyes:

Not Quite, when a monster is killed it's XP is shared by all current characters, but you idea will still work, and I'm probably confusing you. :confused:

You're looking for the scrolls of instruction. Pangle has them -(he lives in a hut on the surface). You can get them by having been told he has them. The Vhanatai or Kevin will tell you. Then you have to either pay 500 gold, or wipe out a group of Hydras, which live north of him... :rolleyes:

Agent

Where did you get parry and magery. I've completed VoDT three times and not found them. But I didn't do all of the side quests, just some.

I think the most powerful weapon is the Fine Waveblade. HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE WEAPON STATS > The fist amount, eg. 1-7, is the basic damage you give, and the second amount, eg. 1-3. is added for every level of strength + weapon type you have. melle for melee, and pole for pole. It's the same with archery, but you use dexterity, missiles + bows. :rolleyes:

The Editor is SLIGHTLY different, Do Healing and Energize are now in the same thing, giving you a 'RESTORE' button, which does both. There is no EDIT REPUTATION, but there is a ADD XP button.

POOT, It's because he's a mage. Unless they are natural mages they cannot wear anything that encumbers, so it's generally a good idea not to give them gloves, armour or boots. Sandals and Robes work fine. But it should let you equip it, and then not let you cast mage spells - maybe this helps??? :rolleyes:

UNICORN172, You might want to consider getting him a sling -(valley of dying things), considering it never runs out of ammo. All of my party have slings, and they give nearly as much damage as bows on high levels... Email me if you need more info. micael456@aol.com :rolleyes:

You need to talk to Eric the Blacksmith. He'll tell you, and he'll also give you a quest. If you want to do it you have to do it first - because once you've planted the box it's instant death to re-enter the city. Once you're out of the sewers do not sleep - you die, and also trust the men who say they'll help you escape. :rolleyes:

Ok, I found the Vahnatai. They're pretty cool. Got the crystal of power. I'll go back later for the blade. I went back to the fun spiders in admin. Went and killed every bug in sight, avoided the ones with the anti magic fields. Got the eggs, gave them to Chief Spider.Then he tells me (in his, words of course) that I can't avoid the other bugs with the anti magic fields and that they're the ones with the opening stone. Sheesh. It's only two bugs, usually these things are pretty simple to kill. But these two keep murdering me! They've even killed Bruning a couple of times! :( Any suggestions anyone?? I'm open. (preferably something that doesn't include cheating)
The Way to kill the Null bugs is to, when freeing the dragon, kill the goblins south of the control panel, and get the sling. Then with unlimited ammo just summon monsters for the bugs to kill, whiule you thump it to death. It might be advisable to train one person up in Thrown Missiles. You need to be in a town to train, not even near a trainer. You should also have your characters with the best health betwenn the bugs and your archer, also make sure they have either over a hundred health or health potions, cause those bugs can be a real pain for beginner groups. :rolleyes: If that helps please let me know.

I also believe there are a few user-created websites where you can get them. Also note that Blades of Exile scenarios are supposed to be able to transfer to BoA.

So, if you're really hurting for new scenarios, find a BoE site (here, or otherwise), download a scenario, put it into your BoA EDITOR, save it as a BoA scenario, and you should be good to go.

Note that I have not actually tried this, but it should work in theory.

In other news: This is my favorite messageboard software. Infopop for life!

What the SOBER ISISHMAN said won't work. You need to do major editing to make a BoE scenario work in BoA. just wait for other people to make theirs, or make your own... :rolleyes:

VODT: drake fang & magic pants in Blades of Avernum
Agent
Member # 4506
Profile Homepage #11
Hey, BARBARIAN, to get the Drake's fang you need to go to the top of the world and search around. You find it behind some Lava, on which you have to fight Ember Lizards and normal Lizards. Then just rip out the fang from the giant skeleton just past. You can't miss it. :rolleyes: Email me if it helps or if you need more direct instructions. I've done Valley of Dying things three times in BoA, and twice in BoE.

If you do the Drake Quest he teaches you Smite (Priest Spell), and Ice Lances (Mage Spell) both at level 1. And it's a pretty simple quest. The Drake Lord's fang is up at the top of the world, just past some Lava. Other than that - you're stuck I'm afraid. :rolleyes:

What you needed is your characters with Repel Spirit - then you can win, if you have enough health and energy potions. I did that with a level 1 group. It's hard - but not unbeatable. :rolleyes:

FOR WINDOWS - Just press on the info sign next to your character. A screen will appear with the names of all of your stats, press on each one and you'll figure it out. Anyway - you'll need the registered version before long. I had to wait two days til I got the registered version. I was dead bored and did valley of the dying things three times in total - it's so fast! And the help guide is in the docs...

If it doesn't work on 95 you'll have to get a later version of windows. It works for 98SE, or you can just find a copy of the file that you need and put it into your WINDOWS folder. The system won't pay any attention to it - But BoA will. just an idea... :rolleyes:
