As a singleton it depends upon your character trait advantages/disadvantages. With brittle bones and completely inept (70% XP bonus), I'm at level 51 and just starting the Troglo area quests.

70-80 is the usual range for Avernum 3. Avernum 1 limits you to 40 and Avernum 2 is 50. Avernum 4 is based upon your traits and you can get into 50s.

Vampiric touch restores some health when you attack something even with non-damaging attacks like essence shackles. The amount even with 3 vampiric touch items isn't worth using them.

I always liked Risk. I enjoyed a two player game to see if luck could beat strategy. Luck lost, but it was fun.

Favourite quotes from GF4? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Not really a quote, but I liked the scene description:

When you find this Shaper, he is adjusting a piece of equipment, using a living tool to carefully bend a piece of piping in place. The tentacles of the tool shape the metal, while the creature squeaks in annoyance. The job done, he sets aside the tool (which tries to drag itself away).

I'm still reading, although I usually skip the graphics the first time through and wait until the whole page is done. I've been saving the pages for comparison to my infiltrator whenever I get back to GF4.

Keep up the good work since it's really helpful as a guide to the game.

Still you could have just closed the portal and avoided fighting most of the demons.

For those that missed this request for Macintosh beta testers for Nethergate: Resurrection click on the link.

Hurry up since the testing is nearing the end. So act now since positions are limited and all the best game bugs are going soon.

If you are selected don't forget to tell Jeff how easy the game is and to make it harder.

A2: Skill points decrease with lvl. 35? in The Avernum Trilogy

If you accidently hit "o" during combat it makes only one character active. This can happen reaching for the "p" for priest spells. The other ways is if a character is slowed or heavily webbed you can lose a turn.

Knowledge brews/skill potions are limited from Silverlocke. In A3 you can learn how to make you own. In A4 there is a limited amount of ingredients and knowledge brews are only made near the end of the game.

Casting bless party, major haste, and mass blessing are counted separately in Exile. They do wear off at different rates as seen by lower AP from the hastes. So the effects should be additive.

1 and 2) Jeff has always been a little weak on some of the game documentation. That's why there are topics usually linked to the header giving more information. Spellcraft and magery were supposed to have different effects on spells, but by the time the game was written they did the same thing.

3) There used to be a reputation system where fulfilling quests helped or hurt your reputation. There is a limited law level in towns regarding how much stealing you can do.

4) The older games and especially Exile series had more puzzles.

5) The older games had a less linear plot because there were more side missions that didn't related to the main plot and only a few missions that had to be done in order.

6) Jeff pretty much makes time stand still except in Avernum 3 where the surface world is falling apart due to plagues. You can still complete the missions, its just you have to hunt for the key NPCs.

Kel - Delicious Vlish mentioned wanting to have characters play with martial arts skills in the Avernum 4 forum. Since there is limited ability for unarmed damage it would be how to add specific skills. Basically an enlarged Monastary of Madness where characters get to be monks.

The first time I played through that fort I didn't have potions of clarity. I fought my way out using two fighters and items. The spellcasters were almost useless. I had to hunt down a healer since I didn't want to wait the days for dumbfounding to wear off.

They can do some damage as long as you use them to mop up weakened doomguards and not the main high health ones. It's almost impossible to take noticeable damage if you use major blessing.

Luckly for us this isn't what Spiderweb games are like. But I miss gathering with friends for a game around a table.

From Knights of the Dinner Table (Issue 116):

On computer games and MMORPGs -

"There's always a 'glitch' in new computer games -- That's because the use the buying public as beta testers -- So they can point out why their damn half-baked software doesn't work and they can flood cash-paying customers with patches and work- arounds months later. Been like that for years. Coz' people just keep bending over and taking it."

"Sittin' in front of a computer in your underwear sendin' text messages isn't role-playing."

"Alone in our living rooms - gaming in the dark."

Sting is also a sword from The Hobbit.

Knowing Spell Levels in Avernum 4
Law Bringer
Member # 6785

After you get out of the demo and into the Honeycomb, you run into slimes that are almost immune to physical weapon damage, but fall to magic.

You will find that the tactics that work in Easy don't work so well in Torment (hardest mode). At the harder levels the monsters have more health so fights take longer. You can get through the game without trainers, but it helps to gain skills that require a lot of prerequisites or you need the skill points elsewhere.

There is a lot made of Shaper arrogance. That they know better than anyone else what is "good" for everyone. While some of this is the result of better education and knowledge of what can be done with shaping, there is just a general feeling I got the power so obey me.

Faced with an enemy that can seemingly create an army of powerful monsters from thin air, I'm not surprised that some people capitulated rather than fight. Sucia Island was the start before Shapers gained control and figured out a systematic way to shape creations. They've got better over several hundred years, but they still can't make new things without a lot of trial and error.

I don't have a life, I have an existence. That's why I'm here.

I played GURPS when it first came out. Then a friend pointed out an early flaw that all you needed to do was put all your points to dexterity to break the system. We never played again.

Demons get a lot tougher later on in the game. You still haven't faced the mung demons that dumbfound and drain spell energy from spellcasters.

The game is meant for you to go south into the Honeycomb and work your way west into the Great Cave. Buying a boat is a great investment since there are several nice places that can only reached that way. Also you can't get attacked on a boat when you want to rest up and reach safety.
