I was wondering if it would be possible to make an editor (preferably at the normal rebel docks location) that could increase your skills in individual creatures or spells, like kyshakk or aura of flames. Then you could make drakons and such without canisters

And you can do much, much, much more with script editing..creating a "Mage Blade" for example..instead of attacking opponents..when you use it..you restore Essence and SP!

Uh, no. Reviving old topics is perfectly acceptable (and in fact encouraged) if the new post directly relates to the subject being discussed. Micro Phage's post is fine.

It's possible..well, with script editing it is..
I managed to make the Puresteel Soulblade a missile weapon..a Reaper Baton to be exact..

Since I'm nice I'll show the edited script:

begindefineitem 83;
import = 68;
it_name = "Puresteel Soulblade";
it_graphic_coloradj = 64;
it_level = 15;
it_value = 5000;
it_stats_to_affect 0 = 7;
it_stats_addition 0 = 2;
it_stats_to_affect 1 = 6;
it_stats_addition 1 = 1;
it_ability = 58;

Note the "it_ability = 58;” it is a part of the "Reaper Baton" script which makes a “Reaper Baton” a "Reaper Baton"...Get the picture? Additionally, the "Puresteel Soulblade/Reaper Baton" hybrid has unlimited ammo..Yep, you read it right..UNLIMITED AMMO..

Also..the Bonuses the PSSB gives is still retained..so my wish of a Missile Weaon with Stat Bonus has come true..=)

Also...the damage of the Reaper Baton is added to the damage of the PSSB...or so it seems...

It'd be nice to have some kind of item storage/retrieval system wear you could store items somewhere and have it delivered to whatever town you move to when you need it for a small fee. It got kind of annoying to keep up with all the caches I left around in A4 for when I wanted to store something.

That and more weapon varieties, like brass knuckles, maces, nunchuks, etc.

I thought I saw a topic on this, but couldn't find it using the 'search' feature.

It seems that my magic users are first in the fighting line even though my fighters have higher hit and energy points.

How do I change the order so that the fighters fight first?

I've been thinking (not always a good sign, but)... how about a KO state where the character is down but not out so they could be raised with something simpler like healing or first aid, instead of going all the way back to town, and they still get XP for the rest of the fight?

Also, I'm probably going to be skewered for this one, but... randomized areas?

Here's a better idea, though: the ability, in character creation, to type in the value of a stat, instead of increasing it by clicking on the buttons.

---

Divine Restoration spell in A4 works great for downed characters, just takes some time to get the skill up so you can use it on the battlefield.

A choice of typing in the values when spending skill point would be great, as long as the add/subtract was left intact from A4.

If I understand your meaning randomized areas, places like the Honeycomb, Mertis Spiral and the far NW caves could actually change so no maps would be any good. Would not want to see that in very many areas. Would definately increase the challenge!

It really doesn't take all that long to create and enhance characters, but a choice would be nice.

Why? I have often found myself wanting fewer characters than 4, and never more.

You could pick up additional characters along the way. Like the friendly shade and the worn out golem. Maybe adding some more of these would be nice if they stayed longer and were smarter. Acting helpfully on there own.

Just thinking about a new kind of menace for future Avernum games, that would fit in with the underground theme, how about some kind of slime or algae that was mutated by a magical experiment, and now it has the ability to turn part of itself into duplicates of creatures that it kills. This could be worked into the game in a small way (a side quest where goblins or bandits are turning into green goop when slain) or in a larger way, where the hive mind or master slime that is intelligent and controlling some large plot has to be tracked down and destroyed.

minor bug / exploit: the old keyboard shortcut "c" brings up a "cast spell" dialog from which any mage or priest spell that you have access to may be cast, regardless of encumbrances. one can "c"ast at time where one cannot otherwise use "m"age spells (or click on the button).

didn't see this mentioned anywhere - did i miss it ?

Is there no one else out there who misses the haste group and major blessing spells?

For me, having to haste each and every character individually detracts from both the game playability and my enjoyment of it.

Or did I miss something?

I've played Ave 4 all the way through once. I loved it, and will come back and play it again sometime soon.

Puhlease, bring back the group haste for Ave 5!

Thanks for any comments/replies!

Originally written by Killing is wrong*:

As your opponent charges you with a battle cry, howl, growl, or other sound effect, your immobilized character musters the willpower to pry his mouth open and deliver a blistering and witty verbal riposte. It's so clever it hurts.

—Alorael, who also supposes that an incautious opponent might suffer an injury from a particularly jagged piece of frozen adventurer. Maybe in the frenzy of one-sided melee some enemies don't pay much attention.

Originally written by Thuryl:

I agree that that's the dictionary definition of riposting (I fenced for 5 years, after all; I do know what it is). However, since in Avernum 4 it's possible to riposte while frozen solid and incapable of movement, that can't possibly be what riposting actually is in Avernum 4. Hence my proposed alternative definition.
