few random questions

[teefal]

Some things I haven't been able to figure out:

1) does the torch or ring of cyan (light) affect my stealth ability?

2) do you get normal XP for crafting, or only "crafting XP" on the side?

3) do archers really need to wear a helmut?  it's concentration only, right?

[Filatus]

1) no (but if a DM controls a creature he'll see a moving spot of light, not quite inconspicuous)

2) both

3) They don't, does help to keep the mindflayer tentacles away from your brains though.

1.) I don't think light is taken into consideration while trying to be stealthy in NWN, however, from an RP standpoint, if you're trying to hide in a dark corner, it doesn't help to be lit up like a lightbulb.

2.) You get normal xp for crafting, half counts to the craft and half counts to your normal point total.

3.)If I were an archer, I'd wear at lest some form of protection. You never know when some other person may be trying to turn your head into their own personal punching bag cuz you are shooting pointy sticks into their backsides Don't want to make too easy for them now do you?

  Evil mage, seeing a moving spot of light casts a fireball in its direction. When the smoke clears all that is left is a pile of ash with a glowing ring twisted by the heat of the fire inside it...

Actually, I don't think you see the light from a distance. You only see it when you
get too close, so close the game mechanics show you despite being invis.

yeah, technically, if you cant see the creature, your client doesnt render any vfx on that creature.  

But, as has been mentioned, its slightly bad RP to sneak past things while holding a torch above your head.  The only reason you would be able to do so, is because the game doesnt take it into account.

[Filatus]

But you can always see the ring from protection from evil I believe. Can be wrong though.
