Earlier on, I asked for the item number for the pants of power and got it- 333. I heard that the pants of power that I used the character editor to give myself are weaker than the real version. My pants of power have 1-3 damage blocking. IS the real pants of power more powerful, and by how much if so?

Pants of Power from VoDT

weighs 8.0 pounds
worth 400 coins
prevents 1-8 points of damage

Pants of Power from the editor with code 333

weighs 4.0 pounds
worth 400 coins
prevents 1-3 points of damage
+5% Resistance: Elements, Magic

In my opinion the ones from the VoDT are better.

Isn't there another code for it then? Or does the editor come with its own special set of items?

The editor uses the basic item set (corescendata.ini IIRC). Each scenario can use its own set of items (loaded from the scenario script). Each of the scenarios that come with Blades do so.

The ones from VotDT average a whopping 4.5 average damage blocked. The ones from the editor average 2 average damage blocked and also deflect all sorts of nasty stuff hurled your way. The choice is obvious.

I'm pretty sure the Alien Blade is tops, although it's a two-handed weapon and can't be used with a shield.

Actually, come to think of it, the God Sword in Kel's HLPM is easily the best.

What level would you have to be to get the God sword?

The choice is obviously which? I can't tell from the way you phrased it, but I guess in my shameful inexperience with the game I'd go with the VoDT ones. The 5%, being a relative benefit, should eventually get much more valuable than that constant deduction of 2.5 points, as the opponents and the PC get more powerful.

Also, they're half as heavy. Especially with 1-PC parties, 4 pounds of weight make a big difference, such as an extra invulnerability potion or such.

You have to be making a god party. But I am informed that the God Sword is too powerful, in that a god PC will do more than 32K damage about 50% of the time with the sword equipped, and more than 32K of damage is too much for the game to handle, so the game reduces that to 0, meaning that you do nothing half the time.

This will be fixed for the next version of the HLPM.

God sword?
What number is that on the editor.
You know. they should make a multiplayer thing on Avernum. Then I would wallop you all.
Anywys. do you know what number Knowledge brews are. on Avernum 3 it was 426 or something like that.
I used to get a ton of knowledge brews and those little blue magery crystal spell thingys and then my lightning did 2000 damage (that's alot.)
I also got my guy to 40 strenth on KNowlege brews so I could bash down all the doors. :D

did you read the above post?

2000 is 1/16th of the damage done. When I was playing around with the HLPM I just thought that I was missing more- Now my understanding is greater- Thankyou.

I resent That.
You can get 2000 damage with magery skill crystals
they give you a special skill that bosts the damage done with mage and priest spells. Get enough and you can do 2000 damage.
This can take the fun out of killing alot of things. and it sort of sounds dumb when you hit the doom guard with it and it says No effect. It's like how can you survive a billion watts of electricty centered on your brain.
At first it may not seem like you did 1000 damage it'll say something like. 194. but if you look at the journal thing at the bottom of the screen it'l say something like.

targets goblin for 1940 damage
