Encumbrance and Armor Use in Nethergate
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, December 22 2004 15:22 Profile Homepage #1 Some very nice detective work there. But... quote: 11 enc is the max possible that I know of, using chain mail + large shield + helmet.) If I recall correctly, it's actually possible to get 12, with the illusory shield from under Goagh-Nar (that has 4 encumbrance, doesn't it?) Not that that's all that significant in terms of gameplay impact, of course, since you can't keep it for long anyway. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Preventing Weapons in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, December 21 2004 02:57 Profile Homepage #3 I think, but am not sure, that this relates to TM's desire to make it possible to train a PC as a martial artist. A cursed weapon would be a poor workaround because either Melee Weapons or Pole Weapons skill would have to contribute to hit rate and damage, which he doesn't want. I suppose it could work if he also set the appropriate weapon skill to 0 periodically if the character is a martial artist. Still ugly, though. The obvious way would be to check in the scenario START_STATE for an equipped weapon and penalise the player for having it, but that makes it entirely possible to, when hasted, equip a weapon, attack and unequip in the same round. So that idea's out. A solution that's 99% effective but probably complete overkill would be to destroy all the player's items on entering the scenario, give every weapon found in the scenario a special class, and penalise the character for so much as carrying a weapon if he's a martial artist. The only way for the player to get around this would be to pick up and drop a weapon every round, not just to use it but simply to carry it from one place to another; if you make sure the player has to traverse an outdoor section to get from any place weapons are able to be picked up to any place they can be used, even this is no longer a problem, but that's really overdoing it. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, December 19 2004 14:45 Profile Homepage #9 Um, Toughness is useless. It reduces the damage from every hit you take by 1 point. I used to take lots of advantages, but nowadays I don't really bother with most of them. If you have trouble doing damage with magic at low levels, you can always use wall/field spells, which do constant damage regardless of your casting ability. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

E2: Nephil Missile Bonus? (and other questions about racial-bonuses) in The Exile Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, December 15 2004 02:59 Profile Homepage #1 Not sure about the exact nature of the nephil bonus to missiles and slith bonus to polearms, but neither is really all that spectacular. I think they're both just minor bonuses to accuracy. You can never poison thrown missiles under any circumstances. You can poison arrows, though. Ambidextrous is only useful when dual-wielding, and not great even for that; you can get the same effect just by putting 5 extra ranks into the weapon type of your choice to counteract the loss of accuracy when dual-wielding. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
