as of 16:31 edt. I and many people have been experiencing extreme lag. When I mean extreme I mean after 5 minutes of waiting for my inventory to open it still wasn't opening. It has also affected the forums
Just writing this for those who might have died and gotten ss's to show that it was a server wide occurrences.

Is there a place where we could view the different laws for the different kingdom? Lawful characters would obviously have a way to find them out in game and would probably do them, even more for paladins.

Since I've never tried this before, I thought I'd ask. Undead slayer:
reaching levels 1, 3, 6, and 9 the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in his highest caster class (Paladin or Cleric). However, he does not gain increased duration, effects or power. How does this relates to Paladins. Will the Paladin gain spells slots even if he hasn't reached that spell level yet (since they are pretty far apart). Or will an extra spell slot be available to him when he actually gets to that spell level? Also Sealed Life:
Specifics: The character becomes immune to Death spells and effects. What is considered a death spell? Weird, wale of the banshee?

Those traveling on the road through lake splendor would notice carvings on the trees that follows the road side. The hand writing is of an almost child like nature, as the letters are almost unrecognizable at times. As people would continue to make their way to center, and sit on the benches near the craft hall, they would notice the same carvings on the benches.

So installed a new HDD today and wanted to make a clean instal of the game on it. Everything is fine until I need to make the update of the game.. and it tells me to get the critical rebuild. I copy the link into my browser, and I ger redirected to the new bioware forum.. no links what so ever to download the critical rebuild. So.. since Bioware has obviously stopped it's support of the game (there's no download section for the game on their new ea/bioware website that I could find.) Here's the link to the critical rebuilt 1.69 I found on the vault. Note: If you're using the diamond english version of the game under windows, you'll need this update NWNEnglish1.69HotUUpdate.exe

Paladin wants to become an undead slayer via cdq Undead slayer has only 10 mechanicle levels. Then stops completely. Is the paladin stuck at what ever level he is at that point, example if the paladin becomes an undead slayer at level 10, he is stuck at level 20 without the possibility to further mechanical growth, if there's no way a paladin can come back to Paladinhood even through cdq. OR The paladin can take an other cdq to further his growth as a paladin. Asking because for example, the order of the shining hand is mostly paladins, which means many of them would obviously become undead slayer due to the history of those paladins having trained to specifically fight undeads through divine powers.
Order of the Shining Hand
Formerly called the Order of the Unliving Hunters, this small sect within the church was also a part of the judiciary before the schism. The order is made up of paladins; at last count 301 men and women. The tie that binds this group is devotion. While every order boasts piety, the Shining Hand uses their faith as their primary weapon when hunting and dispatching unliving. In addition, many of the duties of the justicers that the Order of the Longsword has not picked up, have fallen to the Shining Hand.
The Order of the Unliving Hunters began as a subset of paladins who specialized out of necessity during a war on a group of necromantic practitioners over 1,000 years ago on Alindor. Trained in the most effective ways to battle and destroy unliving, the group thrived and found use, and the order came soon after. The meeting hall at the fallen temple in Prantz was said to hold portraits of the Hand going back 600 years. The order is led by the Hand, which until Quantum Windword has also been a paladin. He or she answers only to the Auscultare and Heart of Toran, and has tremendous pull inside the church. Under the Hand are two armsmen, chosen by vote. The current Hand is Theodosia Varamost.
The restricted multiclassing page on LORE says nothing about that, nor does the character submissioin and approvals policy thread.

[SIZE=18]To be one of the great leader servants, one must understand each of these virtues. To uphold them in every days actions, live them, feel them and let them live through you. It is not so much for your own edification, but for those who looks to you to learn and see how the fruits of these virtues can apply to their lives and help them grow stronger, in their lives and in their faith.
As Toran calls us to be shining beacons in the darkness where evil may grow, where the burden of life could bend the knees of those living under the oppression and injustice, it is important that we, worshipers of The Hand of Virtue be examples for them. Exceptional deeds can indeed bring the hope of the people up, but it will only last for so long, but if through your daily dealings the same people were to see how the virtues of Toran guides your life, then a seed can be grown into their hearts, that will grow with time as a strong tree. With roots so deeps that no matter the storm winds that would be howling at the tree, it would not fail or break.
It is my belief that if you live your life as a humble man or woman, without looking down on those that are not as blessed as you are, that you can reach more hearts. That those around you will look at you without a thought of distrust that when you rise up to a situation, it is not for your own personal glory that you do so, but because it is truly from your convictions and sense of duties that you act the way you do. A humble person would not try to pride himself of deeds he may have made to others. He would not boast of actions he is about to do. But instead he would rely on Toran to give him the strength to accomplish such deeds. "With The Great Leaders will, and strength I will be able to accomplish what tasks has been assigned to me". A humble man doesn't show how ever that through his humility he is not an entity by himself. He is a man or she is a woman in their own rights, they live and breath the same as any other that does around them. But to pride themselves of any deeds, to appropriate the success of such as their own, is not what Toran looks for when he seeks the heart of one of his own.
"Do no seek out title or glory for yourself, as this is not the way of the humble man, but instead accept that the strength was given to you by Toran to perform every day what he places in front of your path. Do not let your heart be filled with overwhelming pride at the actions you have made, but instead, be proud that you were blessed by the Great leader gifts to accomplish such tasks. To acknowledge your mistake is not a sign of weakness, but it is a sign of humility, truth and honor, as your heart shows it is not clouded by blinding pride."
These were the words that Brother Jamison and Sister Sarah taught me. Pride is the worst enemy that one in our position can have. It is what has for so long plagued our faith and turned the eyes of the people unfavorably against us. And through the pride of those that came before me, before them, the eyes of those who would look to us for help, have turned them away from Toran. No matter how much good Toran provides to them through your actions, it is not the blessing of Toran that they would have seen, but the chivalry of the one that accomplished the deeds. And instead of giving thanks to the one who has made it possible for the deed to be accomplished, they would give it to the one that accomplished the deed.
In such, a servant of the people, and the Great Leader, should always question his actions before he is about to pause them to be sure that he or she is not doing them for their own personal gain, but to further the will of Toran, and to make sure that such actions are truthful to what Toran has taught us and wants us to teach to those around us.
Honor is one word that can also be confused to what the meaning truly is. A honorable man is not one that finds honor in what he does. It is not to worry that what you would say, do or think would bring shame to you, your family or even those around you. But a honorable man seeks to be true and constant to the teaching of our mighty god. It is to follow through a promise that one has made. To keep true to the teachings that you have given, and not do the opposite once no one is looking. This is the reason why, a honorable man should never give his word easily. If one gives his word, he is bound by it. And to come back on this bound is to be dishonest. It is why one should say "I shall do my best, with Toran will ....". If what you give your word to would bring you to take action in a way that is untrue to Toran, you should not give your word. As if on the moment you are called to uphold the word you have given you may find yourself in a position that places you at odds with the oath you have taken. It is better to never give your word, than be force to come back on your word. Not because you protect yourself from shame, but because this way you ensure that what ever inequities you may be found to do, as no one is ever perfect, would not reflect on the one you serve. As you made your oath to serve the Hand of Virtue, you pledged yourself to follow his teachings and tenants with the very breath of your life. This takes precedence on anyone and anything in your life. No word, no promises is more important than this one, and in such none should ever jeopardize the oath you have made. If someone needs assurance from yourself, take the moment to reflect on it, to pray Toran for his will, let him guide you to what is best. But do not be hasty, in the wish to please or the eagerness to do good, to pledge yourself and through yourself Toran, into something that you should not. There is no further enemy to honor than dishonesty, may it be willingly or unwillingly. And in such a honorable person will take the time to weigh in every words that is given.
Be it known that a honorable man or woman is not proscribed to have humor, or even have a good moment with friends. But he or she would know when such moments may bring harm to one an other. Is it honorable that through a friendly jive with a friend, you would hurt his feelings even if it is unwillingly? Even through humor one has to be mindful of what he does or say. And as it is with humility, it is honorable for a servant of Toran that does a mistake to come forward and not only apologize for such, but do what is necessary to correct such.
Truth goes hand in hand with honor. You can not be honorable and not be truthful as you can not be truthful and be dishonest. And in such to lie is as much a lack of honor as it is of humility. As one only lies to protect his honor. And in such one is blinded by his pride. To steal is also to lie to yourself and those around you if you say you are a honorable man or woman. In fact, no honorable and truthful person should even have to say they are honorable. The way they live their lives truthfully in line with Toran's teaching speaks by it self of the trueness of such person. If you have lived your live truly to what you have pledge to uphold in front of your god, you will never have to prove that your word is true, or that you are a honorable man. Those that sees the fruits of the teaching of Toran through you, will speak on your behalf of the trueness of your heart. Be mindful that again, in such instance, not to fall sway to pride. Be thankful always for such people who are willing to vouch for your heart, but do not expect such person to have to do it. And if they do not, do not let bitterness cloud your judgment.
If one challenges your words as untrue, do not let anger seep into what you say. Instead listen to the man, and talk with him with pause and always caring of him, even if he slanders you. A man that is set to destroy you with words, will find himself hard press to make his point valid, if those around you see that you remain true to yourself, to Toran, and do not let yourself be drawn into a moment of anger. In that moment of anger you may very well bring injustice to the family of that person, as the skills Toran has given you are dangerous to use foolishly. Even if someone slanders you, and you may feel that injustice is being done to you. You are a servant of the Great Leader and you must show example. Use the proper ways that are offered to you, but do not act harshly as such would not be True to what you are, and what you have been taught.
Duties are the same as taking your breaths. Duties have prepared you to the will of Toran. One must always do his duties as they are given to him, without delays unless of exceptional circumstances. Some may call you knight, paladins, holy warriors. But none of those words hold sway in the fact that the Great Leader calls you to be to your duties as you are to truth honor and humility. It is through your duties, studies and training that Toran has forged the will in you to push forward, even if your body was broken and tired. It is through them that he has taught us patience and empathy. This is why it is important for us to understand that no duties is every to small to be done right. Perfection is only in the realm of the Great Leader, but we should seek to be as perfect as one can be and still look to become better, in how we do our duties. Not for pride, nor title or renown. But because these are the things that forges who we are. A man that leisures himself in debauchery, can not understand the plight of a man that has worked all his life only to be able to bring the food on the table of his family. And in such, as we were training, and even still today, if our duty calls to bend on our knees and take the time to scrub the temple floor, remember that through this simple duty, you are learning what it is to be human. If you show the same dedication to the simple duties in every day of your life, then you can understand the dedication a farmer has to raise up every day at dawn to tend to his farm, until past the sunset. By tending to the wounded that comes into the temple, no matter how badly the wounds are, you learn the compassion that the healer shows to those that come to them, and the dedication to life that they have.
There is never a too small duty, all are important and it is only those that truly show dedication to each of them, that will understand the impact of each of them on our very lives. Ask yourself this, how can you call people to take up the shield to defend the weak, if you yourself have never shown the example by doing your own duties? Would Toran had seen how true your heart is, if you had done halfly the duties he had set you forth to do?
Vigilance is taught to use not only to always be prepared of the growing evil in the world, so that we can protect those under our care, and those who are too weak to protect themselves. But vigilance starts with ourselves. We have to be vigilant that we do not stray from the teachings of the Great Leader. Vigilant that our mind do not get fooled by the words of the seductors of this world. That we do not grow prideful from the deeds we have accomplished in his name. This is where vigilance starts. It's start with ourselves so we can learn of the signs to seek in others. There can be no vigilance if there is no understanding. I am not saying that to understand you must live the sins, but I am saying that understanding your own mortal penchant, you can become vigilant about them in others. Knowing that evil is in every one, is the first step in being able to fight it and best it. It takes only a moment of weakness for even the most pious to fail to his inequities. And in such one must always be aware of his own weakness and pray everyday that Toran gives us the strength to overcome them. But even if one prays and have faith in Toran that he will give him the strength to overcome his weakness, one should not tempt Toran. If you know that you can not hold even one drink of an ale, then do not tempt you weakness by taking the drink in the first place.
If one can not be vigilant about his own frailties, than one will never be vigilant of the enemy at the door steps. We are called to protect those around us, but first we must guard ourselves from our own nature. Some times we must even be vigilant that our Great Leader is not in fact testing us with our own fears, our own weaknesses, as like he forges our characters through the duties he gives us, he can also strengthen us through testing us, and it may come in any shape or form. Thus one has to be vigilant every single day of his or her life.
This is what I have come to understand of what our Great Leader calls us to be. Although this is only part of my thoughts and I will keep expanding on them as I gain more insight. If one day Toran decides that he would give me the opportunity to teach his wisdom, then maybe these pages of this book may help the one he sends on my path gain a better understanding of what it is to be a servant of the Hand of Virtue. But as I have already written, it is all in his will.[/SIZE][/I]

I suggest that they be updated a bit. Some of the news they are saying are almost 2 years old if not past 2 years.

 After fighting the rats and getting the pipe clogger deed done, after fighting the undeads in Vehl, facing the scarecrows at a farm, and other tasks set forth. Surviving all the fighting. I decided to Bind for the first time.. yep just had forgotten to do it. Then I set forth to bring the blackmoors witch her dues, and pang! A bunch of mean, nasty looking, small, and annoying swarm of Mosquito kills my poor Paladin. Not even 10 minutes after binding for the first time! It's a ploy I say! cursed Bind points are there to make you die!!

I'm wondering if the same things that was done for the rangers
Rangers can cast any spells with Eschew 1
could be applied to classes that only receive 4 level of spells. As for those classes it would be impossible to actually take eschew 2. Which in essence was the same problem for Stone skin with the rangers as they could not cast the spell without materials since they could not take eschew 2. Just a thought.

Would there be a way to change the mosquitoes so they are actually hittable by a player that is not already into attack mode?
My pally just got killed by a mosquito spawn as I wasn't able to click on it to defend myself (being stuck beside the moors witch, the mosquitoes and the area architecture couldn't move away either until it was too late no DT thankfully). Kinda funny.. but at the same time.. quite sad.

Was wondering what is the approximative complement of Fort Wayfare militias
Also In game the fort is surrounded by a wooden palisade. I'm thinking that it's what it is in lore too? No info at all on Fort Wayfare in LORE.
