At high levels 50th it is about right. ( A 40- 60 level dungeon could easily handle Alderauge.) A blessed crossbow like Hendrickson's crossbow does 5-30 + 1-5 per level of bows and per 2 levels of dexterity. With blessed bolts at +4 damage per level-- this is almost as much damage as Alderauge. My characters routinely carry about 2oo bolts or arrows. In Bahssikava it is about the right power for an archer to use. Against things like dragons, groups of slith avatars it is about right. It's the complete lack of need for ammunition that makes it problematic, IMHO. It either needs to be about 25% weaker or to require arrows. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
I'll Steal Your Toast Agent Member # 2210	written Tuesday, April 26 2005 02:50 Profile #26 If it required arrows-- it would become even more powerful-- blessed arrows do +4 damage per level. Even steel arrows +2 level would make it too powerful. My party does not usually run out of arrows if done right. Carry 200-300 and it really doesn't matter. I think thrown weapons are underpowered-- there should be a few more damaging thrown weapons-- throwing axe, staff sling, kukri, magic grenade, flaming razor disk, poisoned shuriken. That is why Alderauge seems so powerful.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, April 26 2005 04:27 Profile Homepage #27 +2 levels of damage would be an average of 10 more points of damage per hit. Not exactly earth-shattering. And where are you going to get more than a small handful of Blessed Arrows? -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
Imban Shake Before Using Member # 75	written Tuesday, April 26 2005 04:35 Profile #28 I'm carrying about 24 around right now on my newest party, and I've used about six. All in all, the damage bonus from arrows isn't that major. For example, my character does 7 more damage with a Blessed Arrow (which he has 24 of) than a Steel Arrow (which he has 100 of). The bonus to hit is much better for you. Posts: 3234 \| Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, April 26 2005 04:44 Profile Homepage #29 Bonus to hit? Important? On an archer? Have I stepped into an inverted bizarro dimension where archers suddenly no longer hit 95% of the time no matter what they're using? -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

The Arpeggiator Apprentice Member # 5757	written Tuesday, April 26 2005 14:45 Profile Homepage #31 About that adlecehatrauge (or whatever it is) question, I imagine you could remove it by using take_items_of_class (replace with actual code, because im too lazy to look it up right now), if adlecheatrauge is of a special class. If you obtain the item script for it, I imagine you could check to see if it was assigned a special class. But really, I wouldn't worry about people cheating in your scenarios. The only people that are having less fun are the cheaters. ;) -------------------- You have been arpeggiated! Posts: 23 \| Registered: Tuesday, April 26 2005 07:00
