Darn, more limitations in the engine. Note I didnt say the all shouldnt have it, just would like to see something else. Just as some encounters still have death magic, sneak attack should remain. It just seems to me that too many of the difficult encounters seem built around it. Too bad Fortification isnt available, either. I holp the nwnw2 engine is a big improvement over this one, its age is really showing. Jumping, I want jumping. No more being stopped by the pebble on the ground, I say! DDO and WoW both allow you to jump. On the other hand, Guild wars does not.

Miss Jilseponie, see me for some material support. It would be nice for true Law to be seen in Pranzis, not whatever word is the whim of overlords that day.

In addition, the sorcerer's high charisma would be a boon when trying to recruit/convert others.

Hmmm. The question is, do Oxen work like the bank vaults only mobile? They CAN travel between servers. If they do, then a special component box could be created that works similarly, drop it on the ground and use it or a key on it to open the storage area, which can only hold CNR and spell components. Oh, give it a maximum weight it can carry, to keep it from being used to transport raw ore, or just prevent raw metal, wood, sand, or gemstones from being stuffed in it.
As far as eschew materials, not every caster takes it. Perago never did, he just walked around with a lion bag full of arabic gum.

I think you miss my point. I believe that in NWN2 you can limit the xp a character can get, effectively limiting a character to less than 40 real levels. It is true that a high ECL character can level quickly, espeically at the start. But that does drop off quite a bit, when they gain xp for killing things as they get into higher levels. The spawns they get are for the character level, but they gain xp as if they are there Effective level. This has the tendency to slow things down a bit. If it was that easy to level them, how come so few high level high ECL characters are around.
Please note, I am trying to discuss how things might work in NWN 2, not change how they work now. If characters are limited ( and I think its fair to do so) by their ECL + character level to 40, how does that affect things?

How much for a stack of heal potions? I may want a 2 or 3 stacks if the price is reasonable.

I would like to see some quest series that are run in short ( 1 hour, or two at most ) frequent sessions (2-4 times a week). Shorter quests would be helpful to those of us with children, spouse, and a job.

It seems most of the party crashed, I know I did. Heck, it crashed the server. If it is so cool, make a movie and let people download it.

I have to leave, but I am leaving Mikey logged in, in hopes that someone can move him to a safe spot below before I am forced off.

Father
I do not know even where to begin, so much has happened. I guess I will start with the most important part to Mistone. I was priveledged to be allowed to accompany the group of heroes called to defend the Great Oak itself. We where led by the Heirophant Rhizome and his daughter Brizbane. Mr Elidan was our point man. Mr Mith was our most powerful mage. There were so many others, too many for my feeble mind to remember all of their names, but they all proved to be stalwart companions. Good thing too, as Mr Rhizome took a small group to race ahead. As stealth was important, I was not considered for this contingent. The rest of us where to pursue, overtake, and damage an army as best as we could. The first scirmishers we came across where huge fire giants, undead, and dark dwarves. Our little band seemed quite capable of easily beating these troops. We soon came across much tougher. I fell fighting, to what I think is called an Eryane. I was raised, but I didnt have time to fully recover before we where off, it was necessary for us to keep moving. We moved, fought, and kept winning. It was not without cost, many of us fell. The priest amoung us did the best they could, but could not heal all of us fast enough. The spells protecting us ran out, and we fought on. Honora fell, driving me to a great rage. Finally, after battling a huge Balor, tougher than any I have ever fought before, we had a respite. We rested, fed ourselves. Water, food, a short nap. Then the mages recast and we went forth once again. Giant casters, demons, balor, in seemingly unending numbers. We neared our goal, but where stymied with what seemed an unending stream of elite balor and eryanies like the one that felled me. Finally, one of the eagle eyed archers, I think it was Miss Jillsephonie, spotted a mage back in the woods who was doing the summoning. I left my companions and raced ahead, fought briefly with some undead, and headed for the mage. He disappeared from my sight, portals where opening all around me, I could see the huge forms stepping through. I thank my ladies, Katia and Grannoch, that Mr Asher convinced me long ago to procure some of the gnomish lenses. I quickly pulled one from my belt, and looked for the mage. There, I spotted him, and ran up to him, pursued by 3 of the elite balor. Two swings of my reaper, and he was no more, the fell creatures fading with his life. But the main fight was still ahead of us.
We finally reached the gates of the camp guarding the Great Oak. The bulk of the army was there, but so was Mr Rhizome! And he had gathered allies. Large Treants, good beings from other planes ( Aboreal, I think), and the great gold dragon Ozlo himself. The battle raged around me. I used few dusts that remained that Honora and I had collected in our travels. One helped me to find the weak spots more often, the other was to guide my next attempt to hit the enemy. Dear Ladies, I went up to one of the elite balor, and I found one of its weak spots! It was quickly dispatched after that, having lost most of its life force in my first blow. But then something else happened. I heard two voices, guiding me. One showed me how to move to avoid the enemies blows just a little bit more often. The other showed me a key to finding the enemies weak spots, indeed, I found them twice as often, and these things have stayed with me.
Still, I was just a minor irratant to the enemy. The rest of the band showed their true mettle and how the heat of battle had forged us all into a weapon that could not be denied. Slowly, inexorably, we beat them down. Oh tragedy, the last demon, as it was dieing, managed to deliver a last fatal blow to Ozlo. Will there be no more dragon summoned, will the next time we meet the soul mother be our last? Still, we had won, and saved the Great Oak. From the north came a great explosion. For a party of legends had gone after Blood himself. They had fought an even greater battle, and won, and Blood's death shook the world.
Rhizome did have a reward for us, he took us to see the Great Oak. Victory was ours, but not without cost. The sky has been rent, filled with ash, the sun darkened. News came to us that Pranzis had fallen to enemy action. My heart leaped, as Katrien was leading the defense. I must find her, my little kitten, my sister, my friend.
Honora was so sad to think our home was gone, our life togather barely begun. She has grown so much faster than I. She is now a member of the path of the wind! But now she has reached for her goal, she is thinking of reaching even farther. She is thinking of become one with all the orders! Oh how I love her so. My dearest is reaching for balance, just as I do! I never, ever even hoped to be blessed with such a soulmate. To regain our home, when the hammer falls on this upstart general, I will be there. I will be where the fire of battle rages hottest.
I have a dream father, of you and I leading the giants to the aid in the liberation of Pranzis. Such an act would have to earn them the respect they deserve. The best way is to find mother's family, but even knowing how to speak giantish has not enabled me to do that. But there IS one who may know, one whom can show them that reconciliation with even the most bitter foe is possible. So, I am resolved. Father, know this: where ever you wonder, or where ever you are held, I come.
your devoted son

Something to add
After the reset for the quests yesterday, I logged onto east. My old appearance is back (half-ogre) and I had the horse problem. Logged off, logged onto the quest server, same thing. I tried to rest, but got the message "you cant rest while you are mounted" Which I never had before. Borrowed a saddle, tried to dismount. It worked! The horse appeared behind me. Since I had already been reembursed for the horse, I asked the DM to kill it, which he did. Now if I can get my appearance reset, I think this will all be over.

We have grown large, and it has lead to at least a percieved increase in tension. As far as stating an opionion, I have done so many times, and even disagreed with our "management". I have never felt persecuted for it, and at least they took the time to listen! The problem with most large organizations is communication. People get too seperated. It happens in all human organizations, from corporate forms, to living arrangements (rural towns to large cities), to even places of worship. There is no avoiding it, only mitigation can be done. The forums are an excellent way, but there are some problems there to. It is easy to miss an important post. Maybe its time for either a newletter or a forum post that is nothing more than a list of links to important posts for the week?

If you put something of value down on the ground, it disappears within 5 minutes. On the other hand, we don't get things given to us that are almost impossible to put down either.
