Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

I imagine it could muffle it or give it a ringing quality, but your voice would still be your voice unless you disguised it somehow.

a mask or helm could be magically enchanted to alter the sound of a person's voice, but like darkstorme said, inherently, it really does little more than muffle the voice.

And how would a person understand to approach you and be suspicious, anyhow? Unless they were inherently paranoid, it'd be rare.

in technical and theoretical sense, a mask does not alter enough the harmonics or tone of a voice to change it. It would muffle it yes, but the harmonics and tonal range of the voice would remain the same, the same as pronunciation and accent.

thank you peanut gallery but i was looking for what the official thoughts were since i already knew what one opinion given was

given that the incident was talking with a near party never been seen in the disguise and that the exact voice you had heard days prior for a few minutes is going to say hey i have heard that voice two days ago
when everyone was rushing about chasing rodents,

That seems kind of unnecessary. Send a PM or say something in the title if you don't want any discussion on it.

That was not necessary Falonthas and it is happening far too often from you. You are a part of a community and you asked for input, to insult one is wrong and I don't appreciate it.

And no, it would not muffle/change your voice enough to disguise or alter etc. Unless it was magically enhanced to do so.
