Jeff likes grouchy hermits and ones that send you on errands to get you away from them.

Aran's got a bot that will read and post replies. It actually makes more intelligent gibberish than some of our members when it starts to lose coherency.

The Slith tome, if I remember it, is sitting in the western most of the northeast group of rooms. I can't remember if the key is in the southern treasury room of that group.

There is a second key available in the Slith Temple so don't worry about it too much.

Vanilla as in plain basic version as opposed to the level 3 version which for vlish is charged.

Although there was a time as I posted that maybe flavoring vlish would make it delicious.

It's mostly that the older game vlish was far superior to the current vanilla vlish. The older ones had a stun ability that would keep most opponents from attacking. Charged ones die off too quickly because they are unstable, but have the slowing effect from the older games,

Still if it works for you than keep going.

It's a Roman only area to get to the northern crypt. There's still some nice treasure behind the southern barriers.

You start at 100 and go from there. There are a few other things that you might have done that count and you haven't thought of in you calculation. For example how you deal with Miranda's information when you are sent to interrogate her. Giving Captain Trianus the informaton about the Shaper's Camp to the south.

All of them are restricted to certain areas, usually a zone or chapter area like the rebels that you can only use in the Fens.

Jeff is making the change that you can move and still attack with less than 9 AP. In A4 if you moved so you had less than 5 AP left, then you would lose the turn if you attacked or cast a spell unless you used a 3 AP item. This really hurt melee fighting since the enemy was rarely in attack range.

In GF4 if you used items first for attacking, then you got multiple attacks.

There is an ability, it the cheat code to kill everything. It doesn't seem to affect the enjoyment of some people. They're the ones that will enjoy using the character editor to make themselves gods at the start.

Please really make it a challenge. Nethergate: Resurrection was getting there during beta testing.

The advantage spellcasters have over fighters is the ease of recharging with energy potions. Geneforge 4 had the big change that essence pods also recharged spell energy. This made it possible for spellcasters to keep going with the draining high powered spells that normally they could only cast a rarely.

Jeff mentioned items that would allow fighters to reduce fatigue effects so this would mean that later in the game you could keep attacking with the better battle disciplines.

Delicious Vlish strongly recommended a baton/missle weapon approach since submission and later reapers will be as devastating as melee weapons if you raise missle weapons and dexterity. Crystals are sometimes overlooked, but they need only 3AP so they can provide an extra attack or two even when not hasted.

Mental spells are a must since daze, strong daze, charm, and mass madness will keep groups of creations from attacking you.

Regarding fatigue, there are two versions that I can think of from gaming. Advanced dungeons and dragons had it as temporary damage that heals faster than normal damage. Hackmaster had it as exhaustion from continuous combat where you start losing combat abilities as the fight drags out past a certain point based on endurance.

I think it will be related to combat and the battle disciplines where it will be somewhat like spell energy.

Once you destroy the tiles in the box that room you jump into and its guardians you can leave.

To get in to see Titus you need to enter by the southernmost passageway that is entered from the southwest corner of the map. You will get a message when you step on the carpet to test you and then there will be another gate when you are ready to see Titus.

Actually the addictive behavior that I meant was what some people would do to avoid leaving a video game like WoW. Specifically how to avoid getting up to use the bathroom. Although with a laptop and a long enough phone cord or wireless connection you could just take the game with you as you move around the house.

After the incredibly provocative act of trying to kill Empress Prazac, Dorikas has had to flee to a remote and savage area, where he has had time to prepare for those who would hunt him. Even though he is not about to take over or instantly destroy the world or whatever, I think that you will find him an adequate foe. :-)

Unless, of course, you decide to join him.

Ah, if ET evers comes back from being banned, I can see him going on for pages about taking over the Darkside Loyalists and leading them to victory.

This will be a change for Avernum/Exile series in getting to choose which side you want to be on in the end. I look forward to being able to fight a foe that isn't scripted as unkillable.
