Hala

Yep crafting system is being weird again, at least the alchemy table; I just tried willow extract, and it seemed to work normally on a success; but on a failure it would take bunches of stuff, including several flasks per attempt, which I seem to recall are usually taken only on a success. Edit: sam...

When the Tower of Iron Will gets its airship, should set up a shuttle to Nagritch or somewhere

The recipe for Cold Bolts seems to be broken; at least, they're not made in a way that the recipes for Cold Arrows and Cold Darts would lead one to expect.

I will check the recipe.

Fixed on next mod load. DS

Looks a lot like the old Neverwinter that was on AOL.

This coming weekend I'm busy until about 4 pm EST on Saturday 11/3, and after about 3 pm EST on Sunday 11/4. (There's also a Defenders training meeting 9 pm EST Fri. 11/2, but I'm sure we'd be happy to be superceded

Second lesson: If an electrician says he'll be there between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning, he may mean that in the sense of "never" :roll: But thanks to ChukchiDog locating an honest, competent and compassionate electrician (who showed up when he said he would) all is now well! (Was very l...

To those who may have wondered where Soleis and Egil have been these past few days: They are each enjoying a little quiet time on account of my house being currently without electricity. (Lesson: If you see a frayed power cable, do not wait until it actually catches fire to call the electrician.) El...

Yep, the old Starlight Inn chests store palette-only items, so anything that isn't in the Hala toolset goes away, as I understand it, or reverts to standard if it's been modified. Moreover, the chests may be going away at any time, so DON'T store stuff there... awhile ago there was a post asking peo...

Type of Bug/Exploit: script Area of Bug Exploit (be as specific as possible): Sagrin Jelf Road, Underground Ruins NPCs involved (Be as specific as possible): none Chests involved: none Timestamp on when it happened: roughly 8 pm EST 9/11 Frequency of occurance: haven't tried to repeat it Inventory w...

I've found that often if I crash, when I log back in, my pack bear is hostile, or if not hostile, still won't let me talk to it. This usually goes away after 10 min. or so.

Seems that there's options on the fletcher's desk to create gold bolts and darts, but no option on the forge to create gold bolt or dart tips.

Gah!! I thought I fixed that. I will get it fixed. DS

If you sleep in your room at the Tokuda Inn, and log out, and if when you log back in and try to leave, your week's rent is up and you haven't enough gold for the next week, then you lose your key trying to exit the room and may be stuck there indefinitely.

Akai and ChukchiDog are also away at Beachtrek 2007, and internet access seems minimal. Should be back Saturday...

May tomorrow be a good one, and many more happy birthdays to come.

As per PnP D&D rules, telepathy of any sort is independent of language, as the brain thinks in terms of ideas first, and language second. Wasn't able to find any listing on ESP in the WotC D&D Player's or Psionics books. First and second edition AD&D didn't specify in the description of...

...Imagine someone finally cornering a drow. Human: [Tell] *you feel something like fingers slip into your head* Drow:... Drow: "Vel'bol l' uoi'nota???" A person's surface thoughts would be in his native language, would they not? Unless he was making a deliberate effort to frame words in ...

If ESP were to allow this sort of thought theft or communication, would protection vs. alignment, which defends against mind-affecting magic, prevent it? And if so, vs. psions of all alignments, or the alignment specifically being defended against?

I see Ace's point though; if you see monsters using a spell a certain way, it seems obvious that the DM's approve of that use of the spell since they set up that encounter. And if your *character* sees a spell being used a certain way, there's no reason the character wouldn't learn from what he sees...

Obviously, a high charisma cannot make you do or believe anything. A high charisma can hold your attention while an argument is presented; it might make you *want* to believe that argument; it might sway you if you were undecided; it might even, depending on your personality, make you do something a...

Moving out of the Starlight Inn for remodelling, my character rented Room 6 at the Tokuda Inn on Minya, and upon unloading into the chest discovered stuff already there: a white hood, a fake magic staff, 2 acid flasks, caltrops, and a tanglefoot bag. Can I throw these out, or does someone want to re...

Anyone remember what I thought was the stupidest statistic in the entire AD&D game? Comeliness. What, in E. Gary Gygax's world, players aren't allowed to *decide* what their characters look like? Bugged me immensely. But it did point out that beauty is only loosely tied to charisma. Look up char...

Given that players are trained by the game mechanics to interpret the red glow as hostile body language, it would make sense for a PC who is planning to set another PC to hostile, yet not act hostile, to emote along the lines of, *continues to seem calm and relaxed* or whatever demeanor is appropria...

You have just put your finger on what I hate most about playing wizards... having to try to play a character who's a lot smarter than I am! A 30-intelligence wizard ought to be able to solve puzzles in a snap and deduce logical conclusions that aren't at all clear to me, not to mention remembering t...

Of course a person does not fully control every action of a pet; who would think that they do? *cough* But do be aware that Nagritch, at least, has a "dangerous dog" law, and an owner failing to control a pet that attacks someone may face charges and the destruction of the pet.

12 pm EST; 1 pm EDT; 5 pm GMT; I think!
