If we change the Quintessence links to "Quintessence (MAC/PC)", then the columns can all be the same length and align on the bottom.

People wanted to know where to find the Blasted Vambraces. They're in Benerii-Eo Vat Core.

Please don't use so many question marks. One would suffice.

Create Drayk Canisters - Inner Dhonal’s Keep, Stonespire, Khyryk’s Tower

Teachers - Orois Blaze?

Parry is a great skill for a guardian or agent, especially when you can hit three times in a round with quick action and a riposte.

The golems don't actually go into the areas with the acid/poison spraying pools, or they avoid the pools very well.

What I would do:
short i;
i = 0;
while (i < party_size())
{
put_boom_on_char(i,2,short random_shift);
relocate_character(i,short x,short y); //make this off-screen
i = i + 1;
}
move_to_new_town(town,x2,y2);
This creates a one-by-one teleportation effect. If the boom doesn't play the right sound, you can add a play sound call.

That's almost the same way I play with more than one PC. Although I would generally put Sliths with pole weapons because they do more damage than edged weapons, and Sliths have an innate pole weapons bonus.

The link to the Comprehensive Scenario Rankings that Ash Lael posted separates scenarios by their ranking. Everything above 8 is a good scenario, and above 9 is a great scenario.

BMI measurements are slightly different for younger children (especially if they haven't hit puberty (not insinuating anything in Spring's case)), but he is skinny and a giant stickbone nonetheless.

What position do you play?

Dingy:

In the section where you write about what the best equipment is, it would be worthwhile to mention that it's helpful to keep any infiltrator items around to boost mechanics when picking locks, disarming traps, etc. I usually keep anything with a leadership bonus too, just for those special situations when a few more points will open a door or unlock another dialogue option.

Parry maxes out at a certain % to block an attack - either around 25% or 13%. Still, I found it an invaluable skill.

In the Searer section, I'd mention that the acid damage really hurts golems too.

Again, Acid Shower helps a lot with golems.

Mental Barrier helps with weak creations (and Alwan and Greta) trying to fight off a lot of Vlish.

The Charisma effect can be achieved through item use too, so it's basically useless, although augmenting it with items could make it very helpful in rare occasions.

Pyroroamers explode when destroyed, and they're generally used like grenades. Not worth it, IMO.

Plated Clawbugs have 10 AP and can attack twice. Pretty nice.

Artilas and Searing Artilas can be quite strong at high levels, and used in combination with Vlish are nearly unstoppable in the early-mid game.

With the fourth tough fight in the testing grounds, I like to spread out to the corners so that only two pylons max can damage you at a time. Also, placing creations in the corners before triggering the fight will help end it quickly.

That's all for now.

It actually depends on the model of your computer, not the OS, or it did until recently.

Try running Classic without extensions by holding down 'Shift' when loading Classic.

Either make one editor, or do what I would do and make a small HTML page to link to that describes the editors and their differences/problems.

Is the Geneforge application trying to write to an area where you don't have permissions? Saving and exiting a zone (autosave) would do that.

Can you move or copy it to an area where you can definitely write?
