I think I did not see a thread like this around, or maybe this kind of discussion is inside some other thread, and if that's the case, please, give me the link of it.
But if not, what are the intentions of you people about characters in the new Layo? Do any have some idea of concept already?
I'm thinking about playing with some concepts, and one of them is actualy very similar to my actual character, Eliza. The concept is to be something around a fey character, may that be elf, half-fey, nymph (THIS would be great!), priestess of the woods, and that would be anything from magician/cleric/spellcaster of the woods, anything like that. The rp would not be that different from Eliza: The side of the nature full of emotions.
And you people?

Hello for all those who are reading this.
If you have anything natural that you need for you craft, that is easy to conceal, and it's hard to get, like strange leaves or fruits, that rest in some sort of cave/place that is too dangerous, and need assistance, find a mean to contact Eliza of the forest. I may help you, sneaking and getting what you want. Any bird or servant of the nature can find me, don't worry.
I do not ask for payment besides some thanks.
Eliza of the forest.

This is not exactly a problem for me, so I didn't put it on the reimbursement or something like that, but this is odd and I thought I should show as some kind of bug. Don't know what is, why happened, or whatever, but it did. http://forums.layonara.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=112242

WARNING: This a big post, and a little personal. If you don't know who I am, if you don't care, or if you thought this was world-important, maybe you will not want to read all.
In case someone who plays with Eliza noticed, the fey-girl disapeared, right? Don't know if any noticed it, but she did. Oh, but no, this is not the work of a plot, quest, or anything.
It is the work of hackers, it seems.
Well, let me explain. My NWN was given to my by a friend who owned it for some big time now. He did not play anymore, so he gave me the game and the expansions, since I'm a DM (Dungeon Master, of the pnp "oh-my-god-how-great" Dungeons and Dragons) for some years and all, and I like a little of computer games. He had not the manual yet (his game was old), but he got the serial on the pc and gave me. I played for some time, and then, decided to find some rp based world.
Then I found Layo. The best, it seems, might I say...
Then I played and all.
BUT, my friend still had his original serial somewhere in his computer, it seems, since he used to build modules here and there. Now it seems that the someone who hacked his computer managed to grab his serials (he is a games-fan, not a D&D fan like me), including my (remember, he gave me the game as a gift) serial of NWN.
As you can imagine, my serial managed to find the internet, and some (maybe many) people are playing with it online. Don't know if you people know, but if someone uses your serial, you can't use it at the same time. This happens with me. I can't just log when I want. There are times of the day that's easier to play (I made some testing, and it seems that someone in my own time-zone is using it. By 6:00 to 9:00 am is easy to connect, after that no).
That coupled with the past three weeks of tests on the college, a job that I got last week (Hooray for me!), and the lack of patience to try to log and don't be able, made me stay out all this time. It seems that I will not be playing for some time...
Then, someone could just say "hey Diego, just buy a new game. It's not THAT expensive", and indeed, it is not. However, here in Brazil I just CAN'T find anymore the game. The only thing I can find is Hordes and Kingmaker on the big stores. And hell, I did a LOT of search on the small stores of downtown, and the only original thing I found was a USED SoU. So, I'm stuck without a original serial to play.
I took a look at some of the big nasty and greased online stores, after all I could import the game (after all, as a roleplayer DM I REALLY like Layonara!), even being a college student with little money. The fact is that the Platinum Edition is just mere US$ 14,99. Man, fifteen dollars, this is nothing. Even if you think that the money on my country (the Real, or R$) is about R$ 1,95 for dollar, the game would just be R$ 29,25, and this is not much for Layo. But there is a plus of 1/3 of shipping, and the 60% (!!!!!) cost for imported computer things, that would take the game to an amount of R$ 56,95 (ouch).
Okay, this is not THAT much too. It will hurt my pocket, but hell, I'll have the game and be able to play Layo. But when I try to make my purchase....
TA-DA!
...amazon.com DON'T deliver to Brazil.
GREAT HUH?
So, it seems I'll try some other things to get my game. Maybe contact someone of the family or friend, or this kind of thing. Don't know, but I'll try. But I have to say that: It will take me a little while to come back to Layo, and I hope that at least someone who read this feels sorry for me, and tries to understand my anger (and sadness too, to some extent).
Oh, well, I guess that this is it. I hope I find a solution soon people. And even if I don't do it soon, I think that Layo will still be here when I come back, right?
Ps: Sorry for the long post. Had to take it out of my shoulders.

I just made my fighter character I was waiting so long to make and all, and then began the game and ran to buy the stylish set of weapons she was going to use: Trident and Tower Shield.
I choose trident (even being a unique weapon of layo, and on that not working with the fighter feats of weapon focus, weapon specialization and improved critical) because it was the only spear that could be used in one hand, and that just fitted my concept perfectly!
But the weapon says Medium on its size, so I can believe this means one-handed, as all the others, but the weapon is two-handed when I equip it. I can't use it with a shield.
Can someone please just fix this and make it being a really onde-handed weapon? I await.

Hey people, I finally got to play Layo again, but when I connect there's something strange... I don't remember only two servers... I can see the East server (that I know was merged with the Central) and a Quest server. Is in the Quest that you got to play now??? Or do I have a problem?

Ok, I REALLY don't think where this should be, so I put it here. Dm's, please, ut it elsewhere if needed.
Does anyone here likes that kind of Gaia avatar, of the Dream Avatar Creator? I like to make them, and I'm used to make them with the help of my little-good-for-everything-photoshop. Anyone else?
Just for fun, does anyone wants your character to be made? If anyone wants it, just PM me with the char name, something little about him ("he is a wizard in blue robes" is great) and a good screenshot. I promise I'll make it, and it will be very cute.
They look like this image here, that I made of the characters of the D&D group that I'm DM.
Edit: Save the image to your computer and give it a zoom to see the details.

After some new gaming in Layo, going crazy with the great thing and all (and some great advance in my English, that's not the best!), I really loved Layo.
And then, BOOM.
I'm not kidding. My pc screen made some strange noises and a white smoke began to come from it, and then it EXPLODED inside! Well, bad for me.
The thing is, I was without a pc, and was some time away from Layo. Now that I (still don't have a new pc, but) can play again, I was thinking about some things that I was sad with. Can someone help me?
1 - There is a little problem with the "friend groups" in Layo, I think. Ok ok, everyone has their friends and all, but a new player, with a new character (and one that CAN'T fight), like me, just can't do much: People just ignore use, most of time. Is there now a place where, I don't know, maybe the new characters could meet, like, say, a adventurer's guild or something like that?
2 - What the hell happened the time I was off? Is there a place with the news all in one?
3 - Where would be the place, in the forums, that players could schedule with other players to meet their low-level/new/weak characters to meet on the world and all?
4 - Sorry about the bad English, again. I'm getting better (I think).

Hello people, I created this topic so the people could put their ideas, ask their questions and this kind of thing about roleplaying some spells.
For myself, I have one question, that I think it's pretty interesting. The spell Awaken, is a druid spell wich makes the animal companion stronger. Now, everyone knows that for game mechanics and possibilities, there was no way to Bioware to recreate all the spells with things that were found on the pnp D&D, so I came here to ask about this:
In the PnP D&D, this spell, Awaken, makes the animal companion stronger, but also smarter. In fact, it awakens the animal to human sentience (Hence the name. To tell the truth the spell can be used to awaken animals and even plants.), giving him ability to speak and all. In the original NWN game this would not prove so invaluable as in the PnP, so I think this is how the spell does not do this, but on a roleplaying world like Layo, I was thinking if this could not be roleplayed more closely to the PnP. Now's the question: Is it wrong for a druid to roleplaythat his animal companion can speak by the time he is ale to cast this spell on his companion? As a 5th circle spell, the druid will only cast it after a while, and then the bond with his animal companion will be very strong at this time. For example, in the pnp game, Eliza, the character I will play now tried by any means to awaken Moju, her animal companion, and it was a great thing for the group, as the big wolf brought another kind of humor and rp to the table. In Layo, Eliza will try to awaken Moju too, be it by the Awaken spell or any other means (like a CDQ only for this).
After all, what do you think? Could, and should, this be roleplayed or not?

Hey, I don't know if this was already posted, because I didn't found it. I went to play Layo, and had to update to v3, then I logged on and started playing with my character, and he was translucid, like he had died. I did not understand that, but kept it anyway, maybe it was some kind of bug that got me "killed", and after the common time I would simply come back, but then something strange happened: It said he would reflect on his recent passing -1 times, then, some time later, -2 times. I REALLY didn't understand that. Now the times chars reflect on their death are counted from -1 to -x, or there's a bug with me?
Please, help, and thanks!

Hello, one more question? What abput the Leadership feat? I really think that it is on mood with Layo. Not everyone will get it, of course, but I really think that a great warrior, paladin or cleric of Layo would have a loyal cohort by his side. I also can see the RP aplications of a cohort, like the players speaking for the two "*The paladin nods* Heh, he is just somewhat shy, arern't you Drya? *The female cleric of the same god as him just shakes her head shy and step back, letting the adventurers speak*" and this kind of thing. The PRC brings a cool Leadership feat, after all, too.

Hello, I just wanted to know, if some new spell would be introduced in the game if some players put them here. Not just the think that "I like this spell, and I want it", but some spells that are really usefull and that are not on the Player's Handbook or Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (the books from wici NWN spells came from...), like spells from Spell Compendium and all. There are also some spells, like "Whispering Wind", from the Player's Handbook that fit so very well to the Layo setting and play experience...

I know, I know that this may seems like too noob, but I got really confused with the things, and I just don't want to post in the wrong place, so I ask here first.
1 - What do I need to do to get my character, Reinard D'Raven, a prestige class aproved? I know, I have to do a CDQ, but what do I do to get permision for the prestige class?
2 - Also, WHERE do I put my request for aproval?
3 - Once I have aproval I know where, and how, to put my request to a DM for a CDQ. Thanks.

Now I begin the diary of my great adventure toward becoming the greatest warrior mage of this world. Behold you who is not me, for you have to say the correct key-word int somewhat between two or three minutes from the time that you opened my diary, or else this magical tome is going to explode in a rapid flash that will obliterate both you and my written memories. If you don't know the key word, I higly recomend you to close this tome, for that would save you life, and my diary. Also, if I did not give it to you, it would be a better idea to put it aside, so that I won't find you with it and have to obliterate you myself, for I can do this with magics that won't harm my book, and with six feet of sharp stell through your chest.
Speak the word now or close the book, and you shall live. I've warned you.
First Day, Night
Things are not good to me today. I'm stuck in this city I don't know, without my itens, with only a dammed shortsword and a roguish-like leather armor. I walked around a lot, found some people that I think are adventurers, speaking about silk and other things, but i'm just lost in this place. At least I have some bread and water, but I don't have much money and don't want to spend in the Inn, so i think I'm gonna sleep here near the fountain. Hope that no one try to steal me... I'm gonna blast anyone who try.
Fourth Day, Morning
I already made some progress. Someone told me about this city, and I went to explore it myself. It's a fine place to be, if you have somewhere to sleep, I mean. Now I'm in the Inn, and just prepared my spells for the day. Yesterday I slept on the forest, and could not rest properly to ease my mind, so now I think I'll spend those three golden coins to being able to conjure spells today. It's really awfull to not have spells in my mind. No one that can't cast arcane spells know how is this. No, I think that sorcerers don't know this too. Anyway, it's like being exausthed, except that it is mentaly. My spells are part of me now, and I feel bad without them, as I'm feeling horrible without a greatsword in my scabbard. Speaking of this, yesterday i found a pretty lady that tried to help me with that. She helped me found the blacksmith or merchant of weapons, but I did not had the money to buy a greatsword, so she told she would buy me one. I awsered no, for I could not let a lady do this for me. Not the sword, as I could not let a lady buy me my grimoire. It's in my honor. Maybe it would be better to just let her buy me the sword, but like that my honor would be tainted, and I can't allow that. I think it was my lucky day yesterday, because one more lady helped me. I was in the public crafting house of this place -look, this place isn't SO bad at all!-, and I was looking for something or someone to help me find a job, after all, my money was running out, and then I found this lady. She was cutting some log, and told me to speak with the taskmaster, and introduced me to him. He told me to give a letter for a girl in town, and I must admit that I was very frustrated at that time. Let's say that I lost myself a little, remembering of my brother, but the lady stood by my side, and said some words that made me better. I'll never forget the "Warriors, wizards, greatswordsman, all of them do honest work.". Thanks lady, for I could not remember your name, but I know that thanking you in these pages someday someone will repay you. In the end, I delivered the letter, received another one to deliver in other continent, and received a quest to find some pelts for the fur merchant. I guess that this is a little better. Also, a little halfling bard told me to find a necklace for her, and I pretend to do that today!
Nineth Day, Night
Many things happened since I last wrote in this diary that I almost don't know where to begin... I went to the woods looking for the cave and the necklace of the bard, but was ambushed by some giant spiders. I could not do anything with a shortsword without being hit myself, so I tried to use a spell to blast it before it reached me, but...my spell failed... My armor destroyed my perfect gestures. I still can't believe that! I have trained so much, but it's still not enough! I guess that I need some FORMAL training with a spellsword before I can cast spells without failing... Damn it all. When I was...sttagered...because of the magical energy failing, the spiders got me. The chelicera pierced trhough this good-for-nothing leather armor and I almost died with the poison. As a warrior, I could not fall so easily, and then I landed a pretty blow on the vermin's eyes, and...I ran... I'll not speak about my shame or about this anymore.
After recovering from the poison, I found another interesting person in town. I asked this good-looking blond man about where the gate leaded, and he awsered me and introduced himself as Galan. He told me many things about being a young adventurer, asked me about my training, and I was ashamed because I still had not got my hands on a greatsword, but he told me that all adventurers pass for this. Like a trial, I think. He took me to the bank and offered me some armor and shield. It was hard for me to accept...in one side I had my honor, in the other side the promisse I made to my brother. I was defeated too three times, and had to run away, and my pride was no more... I decided to take the offer, and he gave me a fine half-plate and a beautyfull tower shield. ...he also gave me some food and gold pieces, for me not to eat grass and sleep on the floor again... I must admit that I nearly could not hold my feelings, but I was brave! He told me that he wanted to mine some kind of ore, and asked if I could be his bodyguard while he mined. That was good to me, after all I was in debit with him, and it was the same cave that I needed to go. He went to find some other people and I worked on the armor, for it to fit me. We were four as we went to the cave, then. Me, the warrior mage, an elf that didn't want to talk, Galan, that proved to be a Knight in Shiny Armor, just like my brother, and a nice half-orc not-so-gifted-mentaly. We went to the caves, passing running by the shadows without the spiders noticing us. I could not believe how they could run so fast with that heavy armor, for I had to wait until we reached the caves to put the half-plate that Galan gave me.
In the caves I can't say that I was useful... We fought some kobolds and other things, but that elf just went alone to kill the things and loot their corpses. My magic did not fail me this time, and I hit a bugbear that was about to cleave the head of the half-orc with his axe, using one of my Magic Missiles. That gave the half-orc time to notice the bugbear and fight back. I don't think that he noticed my magic, for he did not thanked me. Oh, well, no need after all... In the middle of the cave we even found a Gelatinous Cube! I don't think that they had the training to know what that thing was, but I was so excited! Galan and the half-orc made short work of it, wich made me think if I was really something... In the end, Galan mined much ore, and was not able to carry it all. I voluntered myself to carry some for him, and my companions were awed to know that I could use the armor, carry some more sixty lb. of stone and STILL fight well! Then it happened... That dammed BLINK spell that I had miscast while with only sixteen years old went away again, and I just disapeared from this plane! The hell with it! The dammed spell keep throwing me in some kind of demiplane with strange images! This time was violent, and I don't know how much time I passed there... When I was threw back in the material plane two days had passed, and Galan's ore had been taken from me. I don't know how I'm going to tell him that... Now I'm very tired, and decided to rest here in the Inn again. Tomorrow I'll try to find him, failing that I'll try to find those dammed pelts... My body hurts, and I can't sleep because of some crimson-clothed dwarves sitting and drinking for HOURS now... Damn!
