Question about place_monster call in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Friday, March 19 2004 14:13 Profile Homepage #2 If you want to get that character number, the best thing to do is pre-place a character in an encounter and then set the encounter to visible when the triggering action occurs. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Bosses in VotDT? in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Friday, March 19 2004 01:48 Profile Homepage #4 Potions are a big help, much more than in BoE. I couldn't get the platebug queen, mainly because she kept running away, so I just gave up and left the dungeon. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Style in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Friday, March 19 2004 01:19 Profile Homepage #1 I think it's fine - it's the same as Avernum 3 but with the panes switched around. And if you don't like the scenarios, make your own. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Bosses in VotDT? in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Friday, March 19 2004 01:16 Profile Homepage #2 I also went with the singleton, and I skipped the platebug queen. The Altered Beast is easy enough with Divine Aid, which you get if you take Divinely Touched at the beginning. Otherwise, just keep pounding at it and healing yourself, or leave the town and level up in Blinlock. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Languages of the World in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Friday, March 19 2004 01:11 Profile Homepage #49 No, that's not it at all. The Arena is separate from most of the history - the Arena comes much later than this timeline and history. This history is a mixture of Relhan and i's, and it's the most logical one, based on events and books from the Exile series. The Arena plotline starts in about 1800-2000 IE, whereas most of the history we're talking about is from 0-1000 IE. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander* ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Massive army combat? in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Wednesday, March 17 2004 12:59 Profile Homepage #12 The manual that comes with BoA will outline such things.

Monsters resetting in BoE in Tech Support
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Sunday, March 14 2004 08:52 Profile Homepage #1 It's not a bug, it's a feature! After visiting four other towns, monsters in dungeons reset unless the scenario designer makes nodes to kill them/keep them dead. Most scenarios will not have this problem. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Languages of the World in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Sunday, March 14 2004 08:10 Profile Homepage #37 Let's put size differences aside for now - Valorim is not described as a tiny continent, and it's probably roughly the same size as Pralgrad. What we have in the Arena is a large mountain chain at the south end of Pralgrad that was unscalable and inhospitable until much later on, and on the other side was Valorim. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Developer's Update (March, 2004) in Blades of Avernum
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Sunday, March 14 2004 01:59 Profile Homepage #13 quote: You might normally do 1500 damage to the wimpy little goblin. A damage cap of 199 (as I believe we had in A3; it was lower in A1 and A2) means that the 1500 damage is reduced to 199 (or usually something like 197 or 194 or something -- if someone knows how that works, I'd be interested to know) I believe damage is reduced to 199 and then armor is taken into consideration. Displaying four digits of damage makes the engine ugly. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I remember that Giant Lizards were often used as mounts down in Avernum... The answer is no, unfortunately.

Slith Homeland in Blades of Avernum
