Layonara MMO Please use this forum to discuss the Layonara MMO.


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.

Default Magic Items and Charges

Will charges be used at all?

If they are, will objects be rechargeable? or will they be useless (like in NWN) after the charges run out?

oo, I like the idea of rechargeable instead of things being 1/day forever.

Default Re: Magic Items and Charges

I think that instead of charges magical items should hold a percentage value. This percentage is the amount of "use" they have. Each usage drains a certain percentage of their "use" (or mana, or whatever!).

The percentage value could be considered a "charge", as some other games do something similar. It would be interesting to see this charge applied to the overall effect of the item. For example, the Wand of Fireball will deal 100% of it's damage, which for the sake of this argument is 50. Each use will drain 5%. So, the next time you use it the Fireball's damage will be 47.5.

Do you follow? The overall charge is the max damage output of the item. Of course the 5% drain is just for the sake of an argument, but I see it as being very interesting. I like the idea of "charged" items getting tired with use.
