Jeff doesn't capitalize Nephilim, Slithzerikai, or Vahnatai. I, however, like capital letters.

Actually, I just want to slice open your skull.

Also, 'kissa' means mouth. As in, "POW! Right in the kissa!"

For my most recent scenario, I wrote down all SDFs in a notebook, along with what they did and what set them. For previous scenarios, I picked flags that I was sure I hadn't used, leading to things like flags 215,7 and 112,3 being used in the same node chain.

*ranting mode*

1) Have you seen the Avernum 4 topics in General and the one that was locked on this forum? No, I didn't think so.

2) Wow, you managed to come to such a thoughtful conclusion based on three preliminary screenshots and no real knowledge of the engine.

3) Discussing things on the forum means nothing. Jeff hardly ever reads them. If you wanted him to get your (mostly unworkable) ideas, then you should have emailed them to him.

4) Despite that, quite a lot of them are actually implemented in Avernum 4. The spell system is massively improved and all movement is still turn-based. The movement system combines the best parts of Avernum and Geneforge. The graphics are preliminary, and they are the way they are for the simple reason that it was easier to modify GF graphics to the Av4 format than modifying Avernum graphics to fit the format.

4.5) 12 of the 36 suggestions from Verelor's post are implemented.

5) You may have valid concerns about the plot, but nobody can really know right now.

6) How about waiting for a demo before drawing a conclusion?

So, please read the six-page Avernum 4 thread in General and direct all further concerns there.

From the Appendices:

Status Types

A status is any temporary condition a character can have. Examples are
blessing, invulnerability, poison, and forcecage. Each status is
represented by a number. Most of the time, each status will be at 0, which
means the character doesn't have it (a non-poisoned character has a poison
status of 0). Statuses are changed by spells, enemy attacks, special
encounters, and similar circumstances.

Below is a list of all the possible statuses. Unless said otherwise, they
can not be negative, and they go down by one per turn. The different
statuses a character can have (and their numbers) are

The complete status list:

0 - Poison. Each turn, game divides the amount of poison the character has by four (rounded up), does 1-2 points of damage that many times, and reduces the poison level by that amount.
1 - Bless/Curse. If positive, character is blessed. If negative, cursed.
2 - Shield/Weaken. If positive, character is shielded. If negative, weakened.
3 - Haste/Slow. If positive, character is hasted. If negative, slowed.
4 - Invulnerable.
5 - Magic Resistant.
6 - Webbed.
7 - Diseased. Goes down slower than 1 per turn.
8 - Charmed.
9 - Berserk.
10 - Asleep.
11 - Paralysis.
12 - Acid. Each turn, game divides the amount of acid the character has by two (rounded up), does 1-2 points of damage that many times, and reduces the acid level by that amount.
13 - Dumbfounded.
14 - Sanctuary.
15 - Martyr's Shield.
16 - Divinely Touched
17 - Resistant
18 - Confused
19 – Enlightened. This unusual status is only used for special encounters. You can have one special encounter that makes the party enlightened, and another encounter that checks to see if they still have this status to, say, open a door or use some other effect.
20 - Terrified
21 - Enfeebled
22 - Regenerating
23 - Nimble Fingers
24 - Featherfall
25 - Flying
26 - Safe Travel
27 - Hovering Feet
28 - Drunk.
29 - Force Cage. Each turn, goes down by the character’s strength, plus 1.
30 - Fleeing. Each turn, goes down by the character’s intelligence, plus 1.

Status Ranges

The legal range for most statuses if 0 to 250 (so it can have any value from 0, for no status, to 250, the maximum). There are some exceptions. Bless, Shield, and Haste can have a negative value, and can range from –250 to 250. Sleep, Charm, and Paralyze can be at most 10 (so a character can’t magically sleep for over 10 turns).
