I must admit, the 4.9 it had before was a little low... Honestly. How difficult can this BE? -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Thuryl has a point. Scenarios can stress one over the other, but scenarios have both gameplay and plot elements. These two require the other, or else you have a book/movie or a strategy game. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Ya know, you'd think by now that people telling me to stop trying to sound smart would have stopped saying those things by now, since it's abundantly clear that the time I spend pouring over my metaphors clearly ain't interpreted as intelligence by anyone anymore. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

What, you mean you encountered him and SAVED? :( If you have level 3 or higher of Arcane Shield, cast it on your rear member and have another member hasted. Luckily for you, EM's stairways don't have combat blocks. Send your hasted character to the stairway as quickly as you can manage. Also, summoning things to distract Lycan is a wise idea. It's not impossible to escape, even if it's Damned Tough(™). -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Anatomy (or so I suspect) adds a die of damage against humanoids. Based on the situation, this may-or-may-not be a wise thing to include. Assassination working as Thuryl described it seems accurate; I would imagine that Lethal Blow works in a similar fashion. Like I said earlier- the best way is to measure which stat (melee/pole) is greater, and assume that it's the weapon type being used. If it isn't, so be it. (And heck, there's still the possibility that somebody is wielding something bizarre like the Illusory Spear from Canopy- but that's a whimpy weapon anyway.) Bruisers should have higher-damage weapons, something arond 1-10/level, whereas magi should have weaker ones, somewhere around 1-5/level. Though it's a judgement call, and there is obviously no fail-safe solution, unless you want to check to see if any of the items that the party is armed with come directly from your scenario. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

To get into the hidden room in the Tiger Caves, you need the Obispopiedra. Once you're inside, you can go back to Abhijit for some experience. The three examples from Zephirium Inn are all red herrings. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

So basically, it's a magic damage-based attack that can deal no more than what the damage you received and the damage you can deal back in return dictate. (There's a few of those items in Canopy if you want to try one out...) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I had figured that the guardpost one was sufficiently conspicuous that you wouldn't need any more hints. If others think that this one is misfairly placed, I'll take away the secret passage for v1.2. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Yeah. Because while one of the primary tenets of fantasy is that you have to be based in reality, one of the primary tenets of art is that it has to be the antithesis to sociopolitical dialogues. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Avoiding monsters is pre-programmed, finding herbs is (unless I'm extremely mistaken) user-programmed. Ultimately, Nature Lore should never come in handy enough for you to train in it, unless there's an abundance of wandering monsters- in which case the scenario is probably terrible. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Don't get me wrong- there's a good deal of that stuff in there, but the greater is defined by who says what they're saying at any individual juncture. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

"I wanted to be on side of the bugbears, especially after I saw that cute little road... I didnt want to fight them." Wow. :P You can attack the settlements or Emery if you want- but you die instantly. (Well, that's not true- You can attack Kedalvasser, but you die the moment you leave town.) Boy, I keep my players in line. ;) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

You could make terrains that have second parts higher up- that is, things like cliff nests or variations in the rocks with incredibly high displacement values. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

You can *try* to kill Emery, but upon doing so, you die instantly. And honestly, you sorta do chase after Spiegelbrecher to kill him whenever you have the chance. He just killed you first was all. :P -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
