The HLPM is finished! in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, May 26 2004 03:45 Profile Homepage #4 The other problem is that it's literally impossible to get good spells and skills until very high levels. In BoE, level-1 fighters can have 20 strength and enough weapon skills for decent accuracy, and spellcasters can have level-7 spells and enough SP to cast almost anything. In BoA, you can't have the highest-level spells at any experience level before the mid-20s, and you have to pour fighters' skill points into Dexterity and weapon skills every so often just to keep your hit rate from falling against increasingly agile enemies. Mind you, making one character's top priority be getting enough potion-making skill to make Heroic Brew would probably still be a decent strategy for going through a high-level scenario with a medium-level party. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Member # 869	written Sunday, May 23 2004 22:31 Profile Homepage #54 quote: Originally written by Vent: It's not because this scenario is quoted in an article about morale that a coherence problem is a problem with its management of the morale. If I'm reading you correctly, this is exactly the point I disagree with. If a moral doesn't make sense within the logic of the scenario, either the scenario should be altered so that the moral makes sense, or the moral shouldn't be shoehorned in there. Maybe there could be some reason for not pushing the button, but it isn't explained, and to try to contrive an explanation is to give the scenario far too much credit. As for cleaning up the waste delaying the closure of the School, I don't see how it could have. The cleanup itself didn't seem to take long when the party did it, and as previously mentioned, the portal in and out was already there. In any case, the School was given a week to close, which should have been more than enough to go down there and push a button.
