Things that work in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, June 5 2004 14:43 Profile Homepage #10 It might actually count the "while" as two instructions (essentially, a conditional and a goto), which would make it 32000. I don't know how Jeff is doing it, though, and I'm not a programmer anyway, so I don't know how plausible this is. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

First aid bug in Blades of Avernum

race, class, protection stat in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, June 5 2004 12:44 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by Dragongirl: this is a bit off topic, but I played around with dex and sometimes when it goes up to 6, the tool stat won't change (despite tool = dex/2) and when I increase dex up to 7 or 8 then tool will become 3 eventually. Then I lower dex to 6, and sometimes tool stat changes to 2 again and sometimes not change at all. Is this a bug? Has someone experienced this? The most likely explanation is that you have an item equipped that increases dexterity; equipment bonuses to stats don't affect other stats. The dexterity bonuses from Nephil characters and Divinely Touched may also cause behaviour like this, but I'm not sure. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

character traits in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, June 4 2004 17:47 Profile Homepage #1 Races: Humans level up fastest and are the default choice if you don't really want the advantages of the other races. Nephilim aren't really that great, although definitely worth considering if you're making a combined archer/thief character. Slithzerikai get fire resistance and a polearm bonus. Some people make Slith mages but that doesn't really seem worth it to me; consider it if you're making a fighter who's going to use polearms, though. (Don't make your only good fighter use polearms, though; good edged weapons are much more common than good polearms.) Traits: Divinely Touched is good, but comes with one heck of an experience penalty; it's still quite popular, though. Likewise for Elite Warrior, although obviously it's only good for melee fighters. Natural Mage is an absolute must for mages and pretty good for priests too. Fast On Feet is good for anyone who has a skill slot to spare: an occasional extra action point is always nice, although it's most useful for archers and least useful for spellcasters. Of the disadvantages, consider Brittle Bones for anyone who's not likely to get into much melee combat, and Sickness Prone for anyone; the experience bonuses are nice, and there's not really much of a disadvantage. The other advantages and disadvantages aren't really much use. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, June 2 2004 16:43 Profile Homepage #48 There was a platformer/RPG for the SNES called "E.V.O.: The Search for Eden" in which one started out as a fish, crawled out of the seas and eventually evolved into a human. It was pretty average as a game, and portrayed a ludicrously oversimplified, Lamarckian view of evolution to boot. -------------------- I'd be tender, I'd be gentle And awful sentimental Regarding love and art I'd be friends with the sparrows And the boy who shoots the arrows, If I only had a heart.

Article - The Moral of the Story in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, May 31 2004 03:43 Profile Homepage #90 Funny how they had the time to destroy an entire floor of the School, but not to press a button, isn't it? You've made your point, but you've also shown that the scenario still has serious plot holes that it doesn't satisfactorily fill. As for the last two messages, it's clear from the context that they relate to two conditions that didn't apply to the mages closing the School: the party not knowing exactly what all the machinery does, and the defenses having failed over time after the School was closed. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
