I can confirm that in GF4 1.0.2 for Mac, drayk and drakon missile attacks still do physical damage.

Mind you, Khyryk isn't a real Trakovite (by his own admission), and he will shape creations to defend himself if you attack him.

While we're correcting errors, the base cost of a vlish is only 25.

The flying enemy script is a little weird. Kel still isn't sure what's causing this problem. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. One workaround is to kill the flying demons with spells or missiles before they get a chance to move.

If he's trying to boost his Fire Shaping, what he wants is the Crystalline Fibers, which are in a box in the south of the area and can be reached without needing to kill Matala.

Khyryk quest in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

You can't kill Litalia and wipe out the Poryphra shaper camp in the same game. (Well, you can, but you can't get the quest rewards for both.) I suppose that finishing one quest should make the other go away, really, but it doesn't.

You also won't be able to finish the deathcap mushroom quest at this stage of the game, since the person you report back to apparently disappears after Chapter 1.

After you've met the drakon leaders and been sent back to the waiting room, go into the alcove in the southwest. A dialog box will suggest that you try to get some sleep. Do so.

I'm pretty sure they show up in the final dungeon and attack you if you haven't killed them yet. At least, I seem to recall seeing text about a shade attacking in the script of some zones near the end of A4.

Don't you have to kill the shades at the end anyway if you didn't kill them during the game?

If you didn't want to aid the Shapers in their attack, you probably shouldn't have told them you were going to aid them in their attack. Agent Miranda does warn you there's no turning back. Hope you have an earlier savefile.

You might be able to salvage the situation by just killing all the shapers while they're still in Northforge Warrens. Good luck with that, though.

Poryphra. Her name is Shotwell, and you need a high pro-Shaper reputation to get her to join. You also need to talk to Agent Miranda first.

You know what would also help? If they didn't cost up to 3 times as much as regular creations while being generally less useful.

Replacing player character portraits can be done, but isn't officially supported, and Spiderweb won't host scenarios that require it.

New spells... can't really be done at all, but you can fake it with magical items that call scripts. (See the scenario Exodus for an example.)

The golem does in fact die upon Shaftoe's death, and Shaftoe does in fact have another trick up his sleeve in the meantime. Hint: if you see the message "Shaftoe is surrounded by an awesome cloud of energy" in the status line, get the heck out of his line of sight until the next round.

Besides, even if I did, there's no inconsistency in saying that we know the units the Greeks used to measure distances such as one would make a long jump over, but not the units they used to measure distances such as one would row a trireme over.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Lamarckism was discredited a century ago. You can't make your descendants stronger by exercising a lot yourself, since exercise doesn't change your genetic code.
