As per the script contest, we've had a code contest for BoE, so it's a possibility. -------------------- "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!

A goes up to 300, B goes up to 10. I don't see what's so hard about them. A,B is one SDF. Each can have a numeral value. They start at 0. You can set and check the value. -------------------- "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!

The scripts are not that difficult. Again, we haven't seen a script that would be used in place of nodes yet. -------------------- "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!

Aren't there regenerating arrows in Avernum? If not, though, than I doubt they'll be in BoA. However, I suppose you could use scripts to put another arrow in your inventory each time you fire the bow. -------------------- "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!

Alorael, you should definitely be able to have the SP draining with scripts. -------------------- "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!

A demo barrier?

This will really help low-level spellcasters be able to hurt the party rather than repetitive castings of Minor Haste while it watches itself die. I can see this adding a whole new dimension to tactics, for both designers and players, if it really works. -------------------- "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!

And there were plenty of multi-form bosses in BoE, and it was done without much trouble. Try something before you say it's too hard. -------------------- "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!

Making the monster immobile is the way to go, and the party won't notice it if it's a spellcaster and it has guards that go out to engage the party. And you could always use a teleportation burst to make it look like s/he teleported away. -------------------- "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!

This is possible.

Actually, I'm sure that an astute designer could easily fit that into dialogue options: 1 - "What merchandise do you have here?" 2 - "Is it hard work?" 3 - (attempt to rob shopkeeper) -------------------- "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!
