| 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.

|  mercurial longsword
couple of questions before i go and waste a feat on exotic weapons. i am running a toranite paladin who hopes to be an undead slayer. i believe most if not all undead are immune to critical hits. is this weapon worth it for a paladin and is it even useable by a toranite -- i.e. do the weapon specializations and focus on longsword count with this weapon? looking for some advice. thanks, redhawk |  |   | |

Normal Weapon Focus and Weapon Spec (longsword) will not work with a mercurial longsword, there are weapon focus and weapon spec (Mercurial Longsword) although they will not work because of a bug with custom weapon types.
In my opinion if you want to be an undead hunter use a regular longsword, since undead are immune to critical hits anyway.

Hear the advice of the witchdocta, and at least carry a hammer with you. It's pretty hard to kill skeleton-like things with slashing/piercing weapons

Freldo has a tiny little hammer for use against undead, a shame he never engages them, prefers the famous "let someone else handle this".

| Re: mercurial longsword
it would be nice to carry a hammer, but as a toranite it is against maev's religion to use any weapon other than a longsword ( just maybe crossbow)....isn't that the final test of good and evil? if it can't be killed by a sword it must be good, right? | | | | |

Actually it's not against the religion, it's just that most Toranites wear plate armor and longsword. I think it's alright to carry a hammer or flail for the more resistant undead, or you can just smite them with your longsword. Both work (Lucius still prefers the fisty kicky style)
