Ivanhoe creeped around in the darkness. Violent echoes of strife permeated the room as he inched closer to his target.

Ivanhoe snatched the dagger. It appeared dull and crude, but he carried it regardless.

He left, only to nearly stumble directly into Ahonar.

Odd. I've noticed there seems to be a chain of someone waiting for this person who's waiting for that person who's waiting...

Yeah, I'm waiting for Nioca or Goldenking to post.

With the alchemy, I'd suggest beginning with just enough to brew healing potions.

The tool use isn't a biggie, I think you need about four or five early on, and this also increases with dexterity.

With the weapons, I'd say to pump the dexterity as well as strength.

The beginning of the game doesn't require heavy spell casting. I suggest a level three priest, one mage. That way you can heal yourself and cast light and firebolt. I don't think ice lances can be added after gaining about four or five levels.

I'm not quite sure as to what you're trying to say but:

"Shamgar"

Impaling numerous cockroaches along his way, Shamgar and the party entered a filth processing room. A cloud of blades swirled in a pit. However, the overlord possessing the characters felt rather curious as to what happened when Shamgar entered the pit.

Shamgar died

No, if the light bends around the individual there is not light where the individual is, and in the absence of light there is darkness. Also, something that prevents light from reflecting is simply a black object.

Gee, why has Alec been absent for so long?

If cloaking is the process of bending light around the individual, the spell would result in the person appearing as darkness amidst the light.

I believe the teleporter in question should transfer people to Execa, Vila, or Torria. In case you're wondering, I'm speaking of the Island south of Gale.

I'm thinking the same officers work in the same precinct, which allows for them to remember a few fellow faces...especially when some of them move around a lot.

This is how what my usual party is composed of:
Warrior - Slith, Sickness Prone
Archer - Nephil, Strong Back, Sickness Prone
Priest - Human, Natural Mage, Sluggish
Mage - Human, Natural Mage, Sluggish.

I've experimented the most with Archers. I've given him cursed at birth, but it results in too much damage. I've also given an archer fast on feet and nimble fingers. However, I find Strong Back most useful because I can carry a ton of bolts early on.

Sickness prone is useful because it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I always give a slith that trait.

A sluggish spellcaster isn't much of a setback. They don't need to move around much anyways, and I'm not usually in a rush for them to cast a spell before everyone else.

Archers should always be Nephil. They're 10% penalty is easily counteracted by the Sickness Prone trait. Additionally, Nephilim have a bonus to bows and a very useful +2 dexterity bonus from the beginning that increases over time. Because of their dexterity bonus, they also serve as great masters of tool use.

When I encounter problems like this I use ResEdit to convert the Windows .bmp files to a .cmg file. It's easy to do if you know how to reset the scripts for the Mac graphics.

This is why Avernum should have a scry monster spell and a bestiary like its predecessor.

I actually remember those rats. All four of my characters pit themselves with their dinky weapons, and I barely made it out alive.

I'd like to see a remake of the 80's game Omega.

I doubt Jeff would consider science fiction, as doing so would result in a demand for graphics. Additionally, I think he's grown fond of swordplay worlds.

Edit: The completion of A6 and G5 could possibly take two years.

I mentioned in the summaries thread that members had a digit removed, so their relation to the Guild wouldn't be all that evident, but it could be concluded their membership in a gang or whatnot.
