Corporeal undead still don't function properly when HACKED TO BITS, that's why. As far as spectres, uh, because Vogel didn't want to make the game too annoying? Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

quote:Sure were. But, see, God was even willing to not smite the place for the sake of 10 people - until he sent His angels there and all the people of the town gathered to try and rape them. As far as I can tell, trying to force yourself on one of God's messengers is pretty high on that list of things you just don't do, and God smote the city down. (This was one of his most justified smitings, if you take the Old Testament literally - he smote a lot of people for seemingly little reason, if you read the book of Exodus.) The point I'm trying to make is that having homosexual relationships was one of the least of the sins of the Sodomites, and I do not believe it got them destroyed.

Vorpal was, of course, inspired by the poem of the Jabberwocky, and adopted by D&D to mean "cuts off things' heads real good". [ Wednesday, July 07, 2004 12:39: Message edited by: Imban ] Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

It's because there are long lines inside the code tag. This is called board stretching, and it's typically a bad thing - however, in this case, it's quite excusable, since Grah-Hoth needed to post his code. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I believe that this was just because the scenario itself sucked. There's nothing inherently "wrong" with putting Erika in a scenario, as long as you can make it make sense. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

TM lies. You can purchase up to 1 trained/purchased rank in Dexterity in RoR. This translates to your being able to purchase 1 rank if and only if you have zero ranks either trained or purchased. Try it yourself - if you give yourself 1 or more dexterity beyond the starting amount when creating a character, you won't be able to buy dexterity from Hana, but if you don't put a single point in it, Hana will sell you that one point of dexterity. In other words, it's only MOSTLY useless. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Actually, you could implement Nightfall - make it take place in caves, but with outdoor terrain... :P Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Kill was pretty frigging useless in BoE - it did magic damage, which most bosses were immune to out of necessity. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Dyng - TM compiled the item list, so blame him for any real omissions. :P However, I'll make this much clear - yes, there are powerful, unique items in scenarios that we do not list. This is because they are listed in corescendata2.txt - they are "basic" items that come with the game. My list only covers items found only in scenario data files. To put it simpler, I don't believe you'll find any items on that list in Kelandon's HLPM. Abraxx - I plan on updating this as soon as new scenarios are released. I'm also taking submissions - if my guides start giving misleading information, feel free to post here or PM me and I'll see what I can do to fix it.

Well, the bit of Resistance and Gymnastics you can get in RoR is... meh. It's only a point or two, whereas you can get quite a few more if you actually get the skill. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I was actually surprised when I saw the title of the movie, since I didn't relate it to Asimov's stories at all, but heck, it sounds like it'll be a good action movie anyway. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Possibly, but canning him was surprisingly effective. Anyway, being banned is much more severe than being canned, so it draws a lot more complaints and makes removing it when it is no longer due a lot more urgent. Being canned doesn't really adversely affect your ability to post. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
