Indeed. And that is information which can help you plan.

Or save you from a severe whooping, if the monster pulls out something like Paralysis Ray on you.

That's no problem with me - in Blades of Exile, my entire party started out as mage/priests and ended up as fighter/mage/priests.

I'm not sure whether BoA will reward specialization or "multiclassing" more. I'll have to play around with it.

You would reload. But since I reload 99% of the time any party member dies, it's no big deal.

Comment on ^^ilos's sig - The members of this board do not provide an accurate sample of the entire world's population, and thus the average intelligence of the board and the average intelligence of the world are likely to be different.

To compound that, unless you use the median for averaging (as opposed to the mean / mathematical average), there will not always be 50% of the values on each side.

Joint Scenario Authorship... in Blades of Avernum

IT ALWAYS INEVITABLY LEADS TO DOOOOOOOOOM

I know of, um, two released scenarios which were jointly developed.

Dragon Within 1 : Ragnarok (was NOT good) and, uh, The Wreck of the Slug (was okay, I think)

And something is telling me that there was a third. Oh well. The point is that I cannot think of any good scenarios which were jointly developed.

Standard setup, although one the Nephil Chiefs were surrounding the Shaman instead of leaving him wide open for the Dervish to kill.

*sigh* Test it yourself. A Dervish, the super-elite of the Empire, will be defeated by 3 Nephil Chiefs and a Nephil Shaman with the Nephil Shaman still alive.

(At least, that's what happened when I tried it.)

Actually, and you should try it for yourself if you have Blades of Exile, a continent full of Nephilim (who are individually more powerful than humans on the townsperson level) could beat the hell out of anything LESS than waves of Empire Dervishes.

Most parties, on the other hand, can slaughter legions of Nephilim singlehandedly.

There likely will be people who are, but I advise you to, when BoA comes out, work your scenario using "filler" graphics first and then request custom graphics when you're sure it will be completed.

There are such a thing as artifacts, more powerful than the items in the Avernum series. :P

I mean, there will inevitably be places to get swords of giving with guns anyway, so toning it down to the average Avernum level isn't as important as making sure it doesn't break your scenario.

This is why Thuryl says that my "legitimate" Blades of Exile party should be taken into a yard, blindfolded, and shot repeatedly.

There are already ways in Blades of Exile to strip all items from a party, you know.

Um...

So, um, Dicidulites went from being Vahnatai to having no traits of the Vahnatai at all.

But yet they are mutant Vahnatai, hence the alliance.

How, um, convenient? :P
