A character who is intimidated by people is reaaly fun. Tired of the "nothing gives me shivers" type of character...

I really hope that the people will play all their characters problem with the strange races, all those things that they listened while child and all. I want to play with a monstrous charater basicaly to have to do with all the prejudice it would give. If I'm not allowed to play with the character I want, one who would give MUCH prejudice (and I would LOVE it), them I'm going to try playing a drow, and well, it will be very fun to rp people yelling and telling things about his race and all.
I think that the bad ideas of people about the strange races is what make them so cool to play, after all...

People, let's always remember that the D&D, and by that, Layo world, is a world based on the real world, not some kind of replica. People in D&D, and layo to it, eat better, bath better, live better than the people of our world. Ok, it's the dark age of layo, but still, people don't need to eat rotten food, don't need to worry if their children are going to survive the winter, and they don't consider themselves doomed with they make a cut on their legs while working, fearing a deadly infection. Things are a little better, and the smell too. The lag is a problem with 8 ox in the public crafting house, and an ox inside is strange, but the 20 ox outside would make a pretty, pretty bad smell.

I think that any cleric could be able to prepare Cure spells, since not doing this would certainly lower the number of alive clerics of an evil deity. The point is: Evil, or neutral who choose rebuking undead clerics, should not be able to Spontaneuous Casting the Cure ones. Preparing yes, spontaneous casting no.

You know, in the PNP, for those who know (and for those who don't), a cleric can not cast spells of opiste aligment. So, if you are a cleric of a chaotic good deity, you can't prepare spells that have the Law subtype, nor ones with the Evil, like let's say, Order's Wrath (Law) or Blasphemy (Evil). That alone limits pretty much the cleric on his choices, since if he did not have this, it wouyld be too easy to play a good cleric to beign able of spontaneous casting Cure spells, while you prepared the great Evil spells of the game. It's a thing of rp too: If the cleric is the cleric of a good deity, the deity lets him wield POSITIVE energy, that's why the cleric can cast spontaneous Cure spells and TURNS undead, if he's a cleric of a Evil deity, he wields NEGATIVE energy, that's why he rebukes undead and cast spontaneously Inflict spells. Neutral clerics must choose (unless his deity states otherwise) if they are going to wield negative or positive energy, and that, along with aligment, states wich spells he will be able to cast.
In the end, I think that the only need is to create some kind of script that would make this kind of spell selection in the NWN. Chaotic Good char? No Lawful or Evil spells. Good cleric? No spontaneous inflic. Neutral cleric who choose rebuke undead? No spontaneous Cure spell. I don't think that this kind of script would be hard to make, but I'm not such a good game developer to tell that. I only think. Besides, it would give a more immersion feeling on the game, speacly on a RP server like Layonara.

Hum, I understand now. Thank you Leanthar, I think that I see the point. Maybe the dms like the spell but don't want to code. I can understand that, not having time, or seeing that something is just a little too hard and all, and, as a module builder, I really can understand, and I'll never get angry at that. I would only get a little angry about a sugestion being simply ignored, or something on some kind of line like that, after all, a "Hum, the idea is good/bad, but it's a little to hard for us at the moment. Sorry about it, and thank you for your sugestion. We'll try when we can, if we can." is so much more polite than "No. We're not going to add spells just to add them, does not matter the suggestion. Point."
Again, thank you GM, thank you Leanthar. If I see another spell that would work just fine for Layo I'll post, and the gms see if it's worth the trouble.

Thanks for the thing to keep in mind, but I'm a pnp player and DM, and I know about different worlds, not a nwn gamer only, and like I said, there are some spells that would fit well. Like for example the Whispering Wind. You can send a bird via LORE, or many players just rp in Tells when they want to send messages to other characters far away, some rp with magic, some rp with a bird, hawk, anything. I think that a spell who would do this, to send a message to another character, that is what the Whispering Wind does, would greatly enhance the immersion on the rp.
But thanks for the "not add just to add", anyway. I was just trying to help.

Okay, the great point is to submit a updated bio. That's great. It was just the thing that I was missing. Thanks people, or, as we say in my language, "valeu pessoal".

Just had to post here, even so much time after the posting. Sometimes, in all these six years that I'm a GM, is just HARD to put wisdom for some players. Charisma tends to be easier, with clear examples, but wisdom... Pretty good.

34th Day, Night
It's done. The gods heard me. I'm safe. I was not eaten, and I did not wake up with my mouth full of ants. My shoulder still hurts a little, even after Jaspar healed me, nad I just gave all my money to a church. Well, that was wuite a sum, since I had exactly 895 trues in my bank account... Well, promisse is promise I think and a promise to the gods is a greater promise after all. Now I'll just sleep here outside the crafting house, using Ocali to warm me. I'm broken again, still feeling my shoulder, and still not believing how things turned, since a female paladin appeared on the swamps, killed the lizardmen and saved me, but I can say I'm happy. I'm on day with my honor, and this is pretty much. Guess I'll give the fur trader the cougar pelts I got and hope for some money... I don't want to eat grass anymore.
35th Day, Noon
You know, I think that I really made some mistakes... I spoke with Jaspar more today, and he taught me a faster way to Fort Valensk. We ran and fought griffons together, he healed me, helped me and all. We also spoke many things. He is a good man, cleric of the Lady Doom. I respect his goddess, for she has such a fine servant. He may have a sharp humor, but he's good man, pretty loyal friend... Speaking of this, we both have a strong opinion about that brat Kinai, and I really think that he's the onlye FRIEND I have in this place. I asked if I could call him friend, and he was happy to awser yes. I am not more alone, I have a good friend, and I'll defende him, anything that happens! I'm just happy that I'm writing this! Now I'm going to head to the lake and play with Ocali again once we get there. Well, sometimes I just have good days!
36th Day, Noon
I'm lost. I don't now how could I come here... I don't know. I was wandering around the city of Leilon, and someone jumped from the shadows and hit me in the head. When I woke up I was in this strange city, City on the Point, I think, and my money was gone... I only have three golden coins that I stored in my boots... I walked around here, but the people of this city aren't very accepting of newcomers, I think... I tried to walk around a little, but there's only a big forest outside here. I don't know where I am, I don't know how to get out of here, and a blue snake nearly ate me alive some hours ago... I guess that I will wait here by this Holy Symbol and hope that an adventurer pass here... If someone come I'll ask for help... Man...how can this always happen with me?
42th Day, Night
I'm weak... hungry. I don't know how could I fall this deep. I'm wandering in this city by all these days now, and the people think that I'm just another beggar. I woke up with some coins on my feet one of these days. I don't have money anymore, and I don't eat now for three days, only water... I did not see any adventurer here, and the local people don't help me. I'm weak and my hand's trembling, but I WON't steal. I could have stolen from some people around here, used my sword or magic to intimidate, but I'm no mugger! I won't take honest people money just because I'm hungry. I'm luckless, but I have honor! The casting of little tricks has got me some money, but not anymore. I'll... I don't know. I guess that now I'll just stay here. Am I to be confused with a beggar? Is this the way that I end my adventure? If someone don't come, I'll go to the forest and fight my way out of there. I WON'T eat trash!!!
45th Day, Night
I was saved. How can I begin...can't even remember everything... Well... No one came, so I went to the forest, as I wrote. I did well, until an arrow hit me in the chest. Looking around an elf was behind a tree, holding a bow and preparing another arrow. I did not had time to cast my defensive spell, and three more arrow hit me in the chest... I fell on the ground, and my vision was darkening. Can't believe how he did no kill me. Must have thought that I was gone already. I was dying, since everything was getting cold, but I did not let myself die. Guess that my willpower worked, since I just did not die. I was too weak, hungry, thristy, and my body was numb, so I waited. Don't know how much hours have passed. Time ceased to exist. I dreamed. I saw dragons, golden ones, flying in the sky, clashing with red dragons that had double the numbers. I was in the back of a dragon, holding a protective spell for him... I saw Ocali, and I saw also a lizardman grinning at me... Don't know when, I finally got myself up, and sttagered to town again. There I feel at the square, and started to rain. It was good to feel the rain on my chest, and I just tried to get myself alive a little more. Then she appeared. Lady Elohanna, an elven wizard. She healed me, spoke with me, gave me food, listened to my complains...she was good to me. I won't speak of this, since these memories hurt me, but I can say that I was at the death's door, but she caught me and brought me back... She gave me some passes for ship, and told me about some friend of her that make armor and things, and she even said that they could sell me something without me paying right there and paying another day... I'm just thankful... She invited me to go to ther house and choose something for me. There another good sir, Omer, another elf, helped me choosing something and even enchated my greatsword with lightning strike. Now here I am, with some little money in my pocket, in the Inn, preparing my spells and writing my diary, with an enchanted sword on my scabbard. I can't stop looking at it... I have a magic weapon! I am a true adventurer now! My enemies will taste enchanted steel and arcane might!!!
Speaking of this, I must find a wizard that casts in armor, as a friend of Kinai told me... If I even remembered his name, the Spellsword path would be closer...

22th Day, Night
I think that I made wrong conclusions about that blue-guy... I went to the crypts today, so maybe I could finally do SOMETHING, as the undertaker asked me some evil essence...and then, down there I found a pretty girl. man, I mean, pretty. She was an elven cleric, a little shy, maybe, but very beautyfull. I tought she was a fellow arcanist, but then I saw the truth, when she helped me. It's not like I was feeling useless, it's just that she spoke some words and then, puff, the zombies were gone. I did fight for her, for she was not strong enough to beat them. I guess that this is right: She is too beautyfull to spill blood on herself. Sara is her name. In the middle of the crypt, just appeared to us that blue guy from the other day, I can't remember his name, but now he was much nicer? I think that he was that nasty with me because of Kinai's influence... He seemed to be a good guy. I did well in the crypts, with two clerics, mind you, and fought what they could not. You know, now I'm feeling like a real adventurer, being GOOD at something. I came out of there covered in (my) blood, slime and smelling rotting flesh, but I'm happy. I wasn't useless.
31th Day, Morning
Gods, It's been some time since I last wrote here... I guess that this is because these last days were so full of things... I think that the people around here are somewhat crazy... In all those days I wandered a lot. I went to the goblin caves and found some ladies, can't remember the names, that were fighting the goblins. One seemed to be one those holy warriors, a Paladin, and the other was another rogue. Man, that was strange, for the rogue turned herself into a big monster. A Umber Hulk, mind you! Those giant insect-like aberrations that can confuse the mind of anyone and daze enemies with that chipping sound! Rogues ARE strange, and after Kinai, I'm weary. We beated the goblins, wich made me feel much better, for THIS TIME I had a reason to get his head!
Some other things happened in those days, as Marlene caught me polishing my new greatsword and talking to Ocali. We three spent a nice day together, while she spoke of her life and taught me this time to make some oils. I guess that this part of the life is just fun to live. Of a FULL basket of berries I only could made ONE bottle of juice! AND I stained my armor with that purple juice! Besides this little frustation -oh, what would be my life without a little frustation- it was a great day. She is a fine girl, with those pretty eyes... Hope to see her again soon, and it will be without the blood that was on my clothes...
Beside this, I wandered a lot, I took my vengeance on those DAMMED mercenaries, cleared that part of the road, and learned more about the geography of the place. Speaking of this, it was very interesting how I made my greatest trip since I came here. I was walking in the road, looking at the new design I hade remodeled my sword into, and a dwarf came to me. He said that the people were scared of me. I don't believe this! With this many adventurers running here and there and they were scared of ME? ME? C'mon... Well, anyway, he was a good man, or dwarf, I think that he called himself Stonebreaker or some kind of name like this, and I asked him where could I find a cougar pelt. Well, he said that he could take me there. Man... it was FAR. We went to outside the city and found a mage that agreed on going with us. I wanted the pelt, and the two wanted some ore that they could find in a nearby cave. We walked. AND walked. Man, I've never seen those places. We ran through hills and plains, taking some turns I could never remember would not I had marked the trees. We reached Leilon, and my, I had never seen such a big place. It ws beautyfull! Many houses, people, sounds and things to see. Too bad that my companions wanted to run through the place... We took boat then, and went to...Port....Hamp-something, and from there ...damn...from there we would go to a swamp, when they attacked. Giant Ants! Master Stonebreaker was farther away looking for footsteps, and four of them reached to me. Don't know where did they came. I remember hacking one of the dammed things head, and acid spilling on me. I fought, but they were many, and I was nearly devoured! I reached the city gates in time, and closed them behind me, but in the other side there was one of them, like in a nightmare... Maybe it was... There was blood everywhere, and I can't remember... But I think that it was not a dream, because I remember listening a "Wake ya lad" or something like that, and the cold stone floor on the point of my right hand's fingers... I...my head still hurt from that, but the next thing I remember was to find myself on the floor, blood all over me, my hand trying to reach my sword that was some feet away from me, and the sound of the ants dying on the other side of the gate... Master Stonebreaker came to me and prayed at my side, and used some magic to heal me. Another cleric, I think. We spent some hours until I could stop trembling, and he asked me to forgive him for his impatience of going too fast... After this we went to near Fort Valensk, and the two pointed me the cougars in the middle of the plants. Pretty creatures, those cougars, much like Ocali. It's good that I had not summoned her, or she would be sad of what we did. With the pelts, I parted ways with them. I was feeling uselles again, and this time that place was a little too much for me. Well, in Fort Valensk I found some good people that spoke of the place to me, including about a dead volcano near there, where the gems got together and simply lived, wandering around (I can atest that this is true, since I, obviously, went there to see by myself and could not even SCRATCH the golem-like creatures!). In this place too a man helped me with corn, and well, I made quite a good harvest! He told that I could go there if I wanted more, but I would need to divide with him what I harvested. Good for me, good for him!
33th Day, Night
Damn it. By Mephistopheles!!! I'll just NEVER fight a lizardman again! I'm stuck in the middle of this gods-forsaken swamp, hidding by this night from patrols and patrols of lizardman! I stopped bleeding just some minutes ago, as the frist aid in my leg started working. This hurts so much, and I can't even take out the arrow at my shoulder, since it did not passed to the other side. I know that I can't sleep, or I'm gonna wake with the mouth full of ants, and I know that I can't run to Fort Valensk, since they got two guards at the passage... They want my blood...damn... I'm cold, and can't light a fire, I don't carry trail rations, so I'm creating courage to eat this wolf meat raw, and I am really, really worried, as my vision is starting to blur. I hope that I don't fall unconscious... I don't want to die... By writing this I hope that I can keep my concentration... I'll swear now to myself, that if I get out of this one alive I'll donate ALL the money I have to some charity institution. I SWEAR. Please gods, allow me to live this night... Now I'll eat this bloody meat and hope the better...

I guess I can be forgiven if I can't donate this month. Let's see...
Alright, my character level is 4. That would be four dollars, IF, and oly IF, in my country we used dollars. Alright, I can convert it, but the conversion here is for 2,70 (or something like that) Reais (the name of the money here. The translation of the meaning would be "Reals", from "real" for you, just to let you know), so, this would do 10 Reais (R$ 10), for me to donate US$ 10. This isn't much, but if you think that I'm also a college student, that I receive monthly R$ 241, that I have to pay R$ 50 in debits (light, phone, you know, I must live...), more R$ 50 on bus, R$ 50 in material (psichology isn't easy...), and pay every month R$ 120 of my new pc (my old one mage a big BANG and died!), you can all sum that and see that I'm broken (and playing layonara at my girlfriend pc).
So, forgive me this time -____-
Ps: I also fix computers, for those who summed it and saw that my debits are greater than my income. Don't worry, but thanks.

Allow me...
1, and 3 - it's a magical process in wich the caster finds the proper creature he wishes to bind, then makes a ritual to bind his soul with the creature. It's not an easy task, and as said, you bind your soul with the creature. Like this, the little no-more-animal becomes part of you, as you become part of him. He grow in strenght with your strenght, he can feel your emotions, and he evens gains a personality to match with yours. Are you a person that needs some attention? Hel will be that. Are you the cold guy who makes inpact phrases? He will be your target. A familiar is like a best friend/part of you all into one...
2 - They are magical beasts. The body is of an animal, but the soul is part of your own.
4 - That's tought. Let's say that isn't so much in the practical terms. It might seems just the same: The two are close companions that grow stronger with you. The GREATEST difference is the LEVEL of connection. The arcane-familiar connection is much stronger, as such that the familiar can feel the master and his emotions, and the master suffers a great shock of pain and magical backlash (without speaking of psichological...) if the familiar even dies, and he gets weaker. He must wait much time to summon another one, as his soul rebuilds itself. It's like losing a brother... The animal companion is a loyal servant that is granted to you by the divine powers, like the paladin's mount. He is not part of you. There are even the legendary animals, that sprout in existence when a arch-druid needs an animal companion...
5 - In the server? I can't awser that.
6 - Because people seem to don't respect them and treat them as one more summoned creature? My character is a fighter mage, and he KNOWS that his familiar is weaker than many others mage's, so, he DOES NOT summons his panther for battle, because je knows that this best friend of him would be at risk. He summons her when he wants to speak with someone, when he feels alone, and when he just want a warm and nice friend to sleep with, to keep him warm in a forest... Familiar rocks, people should just RP that somewhat a little more!

10th Day, Noon
This time is for real! I can't take it anymore! I tried to fight some GOBLINS in the hills outside town and was BEATEN! I tried to fight some skeletons in the crypts, and was BEATEN! I tried to fight some strange bird beaked little guys that shot me, and was BEATEN! I was ambushed by halflings thieves and, how could it be, was BEATEN AGAIN! I can't take this anymore! I need my greatsword!!! I-WAS-NOT-TRAINED-TO-USE-THIS-DAMMED-ROGUISH-WEAPON!!! To Asmodeus with it!!! I can't even REACH the bad guys with it!!! AND my spells keep failing!!! I'm gonna buy one greatsword tomorrow, now that I managed to get the money together! My pride is no more, for I was getting lost money on the floor today, but everyone myst begin low, they say. Tomorrow I will buy the greatsword I want and will THROW it in the head of those DAMMED goblins. They will taste my stell! And I will BLAST their corpses until I can't even see DUST!!! ARRRRRRGHHHH!!!
11th Day, Night
I can't believe it... First of all, I was a little angry about the shortsword... Well, I REALLY went to the shop and bought a greatsword, but also some nice clothes, because I thought that I was the only person in town that was using commoner clothes all the time, and some other aparatus. I REALLY went to the hills, cleaved some goblin scouts, and I REALLY threw the shortsword in the head of their shaman, before burning him with Burning Hands. I even skinned of of them and kept his ear. Call me weird, but that was relieving. I finaly won a fight, and I feel a little closer to the promise I made to my brother. I just think, however, that I must pray to the gods for what I have done. I just let myself go, and that was not honorable... I guess that I'll spend some days relaxing after that...
15th Day, Morning
Well, these were some nice days, until yesterday. I spent these days taking easy. I wandered around town a little to know some places and found a peasant girl near a lake. We talked for hours long, and I killed a kobold that tried to harm her. She was called Marlene, and did her daily chores while talking with me. She told me many interesting things about this city of Hlint, ans most funny of all, she taught me to cook a little. Well, I always liked to cook, mind you, but I can't say that I'm good at it. She taught me how to harvest barley, how to grind it into flour, and even gave me some ingredients and helped me make corn bread. Well, can't say that it was as good as the ones she made herself, but well, I liked that. I really think that I'll invest some time in that... I think that would be nice if in the night that a party rests in a dammed dungeon, the people could eat good food in place of that hard to swallow dried rations... Let's see if I can find some professional cook here in this town...
Well, talking about yesterday, I had just returned from the sewers smelling shit and fungus, gave a rat pelt to the fur trader and took a bath, and was walking in the town, a little tired, when I found an interesting person. it was a girl, with tight-fitting clothes, using a clock that would not let me see her face, and with...ahn...how could I say...wearing a "clothing-that-could-not-hide-her-breasts-so-vey-well". She was singing, and I sat to hear, when we begin to speak. I told her about me a little, and she introduced herself a Kinai, showing her face. She was a pretty girl with black hair, and had a cute voice to pair with that. She told me that she was a rogue, mind you! A rogue! I always wantes to meet a rogue! They can run in silence, hide in plain sight, kill faster than I can say "Bigby's Applauder Hand!", and well, she sang pretty well, was beautyfull AND cute! We talked for a little, and she offered herself to help me find that bat pelt. In the town she found some other people who would join us. There's a armored halfling that i think it's a cleric, a blue-cloaked man that isn't as funny as he thinks with those "I'm cold and serious" phrases, and a young fellow Wizard! I taught him my favorite spell, Bull's Strenght, and I think he will let me copy one of his spells. I think. Tomorrow we'll leave for tha woods, where Kinai thinks we will find Boars to get the pelts. I hope this will be good!
19th Day, Night
It wasn't. I was never so much humiliated. I don't want to speak about this, but I'm useless here. Now I realize that I need more experience before I can call myself a true Warrior-Mage. To begin with, I fought alongside them. Kinai was stronger than me! How could a cute anb pretty girl fight better than a WARRIOR? We went to those caves I went with Galan and there I was killed... Don't want to speak about that, but I did appear near that holy symbol in town... I found them again and they laughed at me. We found some spiders and I was useless. We continued in the woods, and fought many times together, Kinai always saying that she was not meant to be in front, and that blue-guy saying that the warriors were not doing their job... Even the wizard started to ignore me... So I fought by their side in silence. I fought when I could, I ran when I couldn't. I tried my best, but they kept saying those things. These were the worst four days in my life. Okay, Kinai's a good girl, but she doesn't realize that she's humiliating me. The blue-guy realizes, and is doing on purpose. The young wizard finds that this is funny, since I can't do anything, and the halfling cleric is nicer; he heals me, talks to me, and don't make those jokes as Kinai make... She told me yesterday that I sould be more Mage OR Warrior. They don't realize that the two complement each other. Not even when I fight with sword and light the way, or when I fight a monster and cast a spell to help someone in the other side of the battlefield... They don't understand that I'm not as strong as they are!!! We found the "piggy-piggies", as Kinai would say, skinned them, found badgers and skinned them, and even enterede the goblin caves to find some bats. Kinai was happy. She killed them with little trouble, kept slashing them even as they were dead, and made fun of my familiar... When we got out of the caves I was relieved. We went to the city and I asked the young wizard about spells, and he wanted to "talk about price". PRICE? I taught him for free!!! Kinai lend me some gold for me to buy my certificate, but she was strange, saying that a tiefling -a demon!- would kill me for the money...I did not understand that... She then told me that she would get me better armor, that I would speak with the Count and all, and, hell, he wanted THREE THOUSAND GOLDEN PIECES for a piece of armor! I had only ELEVEN golden pieces in my pocket, and he was angry at that! He said that I made him lost his time and went away. Kinai looked at me with a bad face and went after him... We parted ways. I could not take those jokes anymore. I'll find a party that suffers as I do, or I'll even go adventure alone. It's not that I hate them. I like them. They saved my life. I just can't take the humiliation... I don't know if this is right, but I won't look for them again so soon. I'll become a good warrior-mage before that... I know that I don't need to be humiliated in a adventuring party... Nevermore!

Hello everyone, I'm an old timer in layonara. It looks like it's been years since I used to play in these halls (or servers). And after all these years (5+ I believe) I found some free time at the end of this year to revisit some old games, and I got an itch to revisit two rp servers that I remember being fond of, Layonara and Prisioner os the Mist.
Does Layo still runs on nwn? Are there ongoing quests at this time? Are the servers alive? I'm itching to create a CG cleric of Kithairien, that I fondly remember being one of the gods of layonara that I "imported" to my own pnp setting (actually something of a little mix of kithairien and the hunter aspects of folian). If you're curious Ilsare, holy symbol and all, was another one of the "imported" gods, and a little darker and edgier version of xeen was the last of the three.
At the time I had some nice adventures with Eliza, my druid. I wonder if the people she knew still exist in the game!

Hello GMs, I came back to Layo recently, and I was looking until late at night (waiting for approval to my char, and spending time) at LORE, and found a session that I missed, about the submissions and all. Back in my time every PrC needed a CDQ, and now I see that some require only a CDT, and some not even that. Looking further I saw the option of rebuilding levels of the character. That sounded pretty interesting, since I made some terrible choices based on RP with my druid char that crippled her considerably (she's still a druid, so she can keep her own, but sincerely, it's sad to play with her in this regard). Finally, I saw about Graceful Pleas, and the ability to get accepted requests that were denied, or to re-level beyond the normal threshold or ay other thing. So, explaining myself: When I began her I wanted my char to be a shifter, since she was raised among feys, she considered herself more "other things" than a half-elf, but I decided to leave this idea behind when I saw it required a CDQ. My problem with CDQ is that I didn't have as much time as I wanted to play, and really, I couldn't really say that I could tell a GM that I would be avaible at a certain time and really be there. To tell the truth little changed in this regard. So I made my char a spellcasting Druid with some little shapes here and there (I find myself dying a lot because of that  I can't stope wildshaping, since this was the original idea!), but even for that I made some very terrible choices, mostly based on RP, things that I only noticed later. Yet it was fun to play and craft the CNR (even this I choose for RP, since I choose Cooking -the single more "useless" craft- as my unique craft (let's face it, many players like to rp and such, but won't care about cooking or their chars eating better always. It usually isn't worth, and this still is a game about fighting and levels, sadly)), but now that I see this, it becomes even more and more fun. So, now my char is a 7th level druid crippled beauty, and I don't quite like her build. What could I do with the tools avaible to rebuild her? -Die many many times (this is incredible IC-wise

Hello community of Layonara. I have been far from here for quite a long time. Actually I think it's been almost two years since I last played. As we all know we all have to deal with the terrible Real Life, and between college, job, my D&D campaign, and preparations to live with my girlfriend I don't really have enought time to dedicate myself as I really wanted.
However, now that things are settling I want to get my prized copy of NWN (for those who remember me from back them, can remember the HELL I went to get myself a copy!) and installing it and trying to play a new char. Actually, I want to get back to be a (half) active member of the community.
As I have need for help, and I don't know where to post this, i'm posting here so I won't make any kind of forum-related-social-mistake.
The thing is, I have a concept fairly well in my mind of what I want to play (thanks the years as a DM, creating chars is easy), but don't have as much experience as I wanted with the regions of the world, and to create a good BG I need some help about this:
-The char is to be a Xeenite priestess, but the important part is that she is supposed to be one of those young that is kept in slavery in brothels and then raises to a position of influence, or something around that. The unwilling beggining on the religion is actually the most important part. Looking at LORE I can see cities with more Xeenite influence, but I need to know the "persona" of some cities. Something where this terrible practice of more-or-less-slavery do happens, and somewhere with a big black market / thief influence / governed by crime. No no, my char isn't a villain, its just part of her whole concept.
Could someone with more experience point me a good place for such, and better yet, explain a little about the subject? I would be mostly grateful for the help, and I can even pay it in the form of a character drawing if someone find the time to give some extensive help (I'm not buying anyone, I just like to draw and in my ignorance I imagine that giving extensive help is going to be a pain in the *** (I used the * on purpose, I did not type the word) so a payment seem honorable).
-About humans, their skin and hair colors. Are there regions with specific looks? Like a place where humans have usualy olive skin and green eyes, or where they tend to have red hair or whatever?
In any case, thanks for the help and more importantly:
I'm back at home!

Hey there guys, I'm again. it's been some time, with job and all, since the last time I played. Now I want to play, but I need the new downloads. The servers are down, there is some other place to dl, or what? I can't seem to be able to download the files from the New Players menu...
What am I doing wrong?
Ps: One year of Layo for me (more or less), yey!!! \\o/

I have not been playing on Layo because of my new job, and my studies and all, but some time or other I come here to take a look.
How's the world? How are things going? Is it alive or just the old players leaving and all? How are things going, pleople? Is there a good influx of new players? For me, it is the best thing a server could have, players...
So, what's going on?

Oh gods, why did he attack me? Was something like the sort "You can't get my cow back from the big, fat griffon! I will kill you with my bucket!!!" thing? Without more jokes, here is the format. Bug Report Character: Eliza Time: Around 3:28 pm GMT, 16 / 07 / 2007 Description: The commoner Patrick Borden seemed to be on the Hostile faction or set Eliza to hostile and ran to attack Eliza, my character. I evaded him and went out of town, then came back and he did the same. I took a screen of it to show. No other NPC was Hostile. Location: Fort Homestead. Verified: Screenshot added. http://forums.layonara.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=112332Reproducable: Went to town two times and was attacked two times.
