An interesting change seeing as to how Baraeon used to be NE and now he's CE, although not much of a difference. I love how more detail was put into the deities like specific dates! In accordance to the new details, Alatriel and I were talking and we realized that there should be an apparent Dark Elven calendar, seeing as how the Elven calendar is a bit too "sunshin-ey" Although, all in all, a great update! :D This will make my transition into Baraeon far more interesting! Kudos! :D

Hmm, CE was not the intent, should remain NE.

Adjusted the alignment to reflect the correct one, which is Neutral Evil.

Cleric alignments needs adjusting too.  Right now they are one step from CE.

Cleric alignments have been adjusted.  Possibly even before you posted. :)

"Through centuries of research, some of these silks now rival the strength of metal armor."

ooooh, this part has me excited.  Are there new craftable recipes along these lines, or just some already out there I haven't come across yet?  The dark silks I've been sewing are more on par with padded armors.

I hate to dig up an old thread, but it does say, 'Ask the Loremaster' how are we supposed to roleplay this out?  It seems that these armors are strong enough to be metal, so do we just acquire some metal armor and try to make it look like its made out of spider silk or can we expect a special armor recipe?  I personally think it would be neat to have some armor like this and would love to get my hands on some if possible.

No worries about digging up an old thread, it's not that old, and it is a question thread :)

We will not be adding any recipes to NWN-Layonara at this point in time, so there is no actual silk armor in game I believe. (Maybe there's some in the drops, I don't know).

We could perhaps , using the quill system, change the description of a metal armor to have it read silk, and you can of course customize the appearance. I think that's the best we can do considering we won't do the recipes.

Another thought is that we'll only change an item description if a player brings a certain amount of silk (GM would collect).
As the number of Baraeon clerics is extremely small, it wouldn't be much of a burden on our end.

And what about the bit where it says moving silently and unnoticed?  That just cannot be pulled off with metal armor.

True, you'd still have an Armor Check Pentalty to Hide and Move Silently, and there's nothing we can do about that as the armor would still be considered a chain/halfplate/plate etc. armor.

On GM quests though, that should be easier to handle as then you can discuss with the GM.

For regular gaming without a GM, you'd have the penalties I'm afraid.

There are craftable silk armor recipes in-game, actually.  They're not necessarily on the order of metal, but they do exist.

The silk armors do have some interesting qualities as well. Bug a PC tailor IG to have a look at some of them.

Lord of Spiders, grant me your blessing. May the venom of your children serve as the tool of vengeance in the web I weave around your enemy. May they suffer slowly and, at their last breath, come to the realization vengeance was yours."
– Magus Daralith Del’Mar

Thank you for this and it means a lot to me. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this Honora and Ed. I am going to dust off my NWN webs and come back after reading this...

Thank you for the work you have put, and continue to put, into a world for us to play in and call our home away from home.
