Rakshasi and Illithid PCs. Both are more magically apt and stronger than Vahnatai, and Rakshasi absorb spells to boot. Then again, Rakshasi and Illithids just wouldn't be feasible (with exception to parties who love murder en masse)- neither speak Imperial Common, and the latter has no vocal chords and communicates with telepathy.

Still! It would be interesting to see a race that heals itself with Firestorm. :)

Thuryl- Exile most definitely is not "traditional mythology". As far as I know, Rakshasi are hindu demonic creatures (all female, if I'm not mistaken) who seduce men and kill them by illusioning themselves as women. They also have a habit of killing merchants, and they like pretty things. Smoking opium is a preferable habit.

Alec, you know I won't let you bash the Rakshasi like that. Being the resident Rakshasa expert, allow me to explain:

========

Concise History of the Creation of the Rakshasic Nation and its Exile into Arngoth

The Rakshasi were one of the magical creatures on Ermarian not to die off on account of diminutive numbers, diseases, or other afflictions that hit genetically unstable beings. They formed an anarchy-like civilization with no infrastructure on northern Vantanas, based on a system of barter. They had some semblance of cities, but the pastoral parts of the population were also numerous.

At that point, a Rakshasa with cunning and guile named Tigerfang opted to gain power. He formed a gang aptly named the "Skullz", and sold the idea of using power to gain riches and more power to many thug-like Rakshasi and thieves. Essentially, a corporate police force. Hired thugs either used their power to force competing merchants to cyphen off money gained from sales into the coffers of the Skullz, or simply killed competing merchants. The system was simple- steal from those who surrender, kill those who don't. It was viciously effective, on account of the good nature of Rakshasi.

At this point, a blacksmith merchant named Olindbar was quite upset with this development. Rallying support from people oppressed by the Skullz, he armed them in steel, and assaulted the Skullz headquarters. Tigerfang escaped, went into seclusion, and renamed himself Sabertooth. His identity remained unknown for many millenia.

Olindbar formed a state based on abolishment of money and its subsequent evils, along with people rallying with each other for their own freedoms. It was called the Rakshasic Empire.

Ten years later, a large dragon appeared in Northern Vantanas, who was as large as a mountain. Many believe that he was a god or demigod who transubstantiated. He saw the Rakshasic state, and realized that it would become a threat to his plan to dominate Ermarian. Therefore, he saw fit to begin attacking Rakshasic villages at random, effectively slashing the number of Rakshasi alive. The Rakshasi on Ermarian were not safe.

Deacon, Archmage among Rakshasi at the time, found another small, cavernous and inhabitable universe called Arngoth that the Rakshasi could move into. The population was sent there, where they found large numbers of small, purple, alien, anubis-like creatures called Arvoss. The Arvoss were adept with psionics and heat, but were quite fragile. The Rakshasi, absorbing heat and being resistant to psionics, were more than able to hold them at bay.

The second large project Deacon started was the creation of the Olindbar Items. These were made so that Olindbar, an excellent archmage and elite warrior, could survive in a fight against Shale. This armor took many years to make, and was (and still is) impervious to all attacks. The axe made can sear through anything without losing its edge.

Olindbar was teleported back to Vantanas, and fought with Shale. The battle began at dawn, and lasted past dusk and into sunset. Mountains crumbled as the two powerhouses rumbled. Finally, twenty-four hours later, the two warriors were exhausted. Shale noticed the sun rising, so he decided to use his specialty technique- Solar Flare. All of the energy from the sun was temporarilly drawn out from the star, and descended upon Olindbar in the form of a pillar, with enough concentrated energy to destroy anything- even Rakshasi, who are able to absorb elements.

When the spell was over, Olindbar was nowhere to be seen. His armor, though, was in perfect condition- not even discolored in the slightest. Shale, however, was not in any more condition to fight, much less move. He burrowed himself into the Earth, where he tried to regain his energy, until his physical form died one hundred years later of a heart attack.

The Rakshasi, having defeated Shale, could not return to Vantanas- already, it was being settled by other races, and other internal troubles were raging, including corruption to the highest degree. Thus, the beginning of the Black Cube Age of the Rakshasic people.

----

(The Rakshasi seen in Exile/Avernum are remnants of the Skullz)

Personally, I think your artistry makes Van Gogh look like ten-second scribbles by two year olds. I want you to redesign the entire BoE base terrain and monster sets, and use them in your next scenario.

I love you as a pubescant, estrogen-laden teeny-bopper loves the most recent boy band. If we weren't the same gender, I'd have your child.

I like what I'm seeing from the Beast so far, but as of right now, I only have sticks and stones to slay this beast with. In BoE (which, might I add, is an extremely simple medium- this feels far tougher), there was a manual to explain things in the editor, and what they did. Will there be any sort of crash course manual that will come with BoA?

How many "scripts" will there be per town, and will there still be a system somewhat like nodes, or will all messages/effects/traps take place via scripts?

Legolas- Wrong. It will be years and years before BoA comes out (Jeff is making Geneforge2 first), and BoE has plenty of versatility as it is. Just get it, I assure you that you will not regret it, and it will be worthwhile for more than "a few months".

I still think a physical damage spell would be great to have. And please, remove Forcecage. Terror has at least been useful to me once, but Forcecage is a piece of crap.

Personally, I hate wall spells for anything that isn't at a low level. It's intensely pointless- especially when you can't place walls arbitrarilly(sp). If you're replacing Capture Soul and Simulacrum (medium level spells), I want one of the spells to be a physical damage spell (such as Wound or Shockwave), which cannot be blocked by magic immunities or resistances. It would be very useful, and moreso than any field spell.

PS- Quickfire is stupid, in many ways.

Well, Echoes and Echoes: Assault are defined by mind-numbingly difficult combat and constant running around trying to stay alive, respectively. Therefore, songs of mind-numbing repetition and fast paced music (respectively) are appropriate.

Beware the Echoes.

Aruneko, I have serious problems with you, already. That was an idiotic, stupid, degrading, and outright false remark. Don't do it. Again.

----

And to deal with the subject at hand, well, nudity is an "only if necessary" thing. If a scenario requires nudity for certain scenes, for the love of the children, rate the scenario R, or NC-17.

Racial slurs; however, I'm okay with- as long as they don't promote them. It's perfectly fine to have your villain be a group of Klu-klux like people, woven thick with ignorance. Just don't make those kluxers the good guys. Ever. If you *are* going to make a scenario like that, it is thouroughly reccomended that you warn the player about this in the readme, and intro text. Many people will view BoE as a gaming paradigm, where the laws of reality are void. Please account for them.

Not at all. There's no way just graphics will get you in a mod spot now. There's no way a mod spot will be given out now. There's just too little to do. Maybe eventually, when you release a scenario, there'll be more of a chance of someone getting in.
