CNR Suggestions/Discussion / Cloak and boot suggestions

« on: January 24, 2008, 04:29:39 pm »

Some suggested tailoring recipes for things already in game as droppable items (as I know new items are problematic due to the palette size). Currently neither footwear nor cloaks (with the exception of exceptional ones) are comparable to even mid-level dropped items: The best craftable boots are the boots of the swift (which have limited usefulness, especially for those who already have the dodge feat), and there are no higher level craftable cloaks. I don't think other crafts the disparity between dropped and crafted items is so great. I realize that it could make tailoring too powerful a craft by sheer variety of useful types of items, to address this, I have included ingredients from other crafts in the recipes.


Boots of Striding +1
1 thread
1 cloth pattern
2 hill hound leathers
1 enchanted diamond - endurance.
4 essence of power
(perhaps make the +2 version the exceptional result?)

Silver Slippers
1 thread
1 cloth pattern
2 bolts queen silk cloth
5 silver ingots
1 visual effect holy
1 prayer beads

Blue Suede Shoes
1 thread
1 cloth pattern
2 dire tiger leather
10 sapphire dusts
2 essence of grace
1 potion of grace
2 essence charm
1 potion of eagle's splendor

Cloak of protection +1
1 thread
1 cloth pattern
2 brown bear leathers
1 scroll of shield
1 silk padding

Cloak of protection +2
1 thread
1 cloth pattern
2 grizzly bear leathers
2 scrolls of shield
1 dark silk padding

Cloak of Resistance +1|Cloak of resistance +1 - Alternate
1 thread|1 thread
1 cloth pattern   |1 cloth pattern
2 jaguar leather|2 dire wolf leather
2 gems of resistance|2 gems of resistance
3 nuggets of iron|3 nuggets of platinum
     |[x dust of emerald]
     |    
Cloak of resistance +2   |Cloak of resistance +2 - Alternate
1 thread|1 thread
1 cloth pattern|         1 cloth pattern
2 dire wolf leather|      2 dire tier leather
4 gems of resistance|      4 gems of resistance
3 nuggets platinum|      3 nuggets cobalt
     |[x dust of emerald]
[/table]
Somewhere in-between the two may work as well. *shrug*

So... that's my stab at trying to make some item recipes. Feel free to rip apart now :-)

NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / Scripted counter roll for intimidate check

« on: January 23, 2008, 10:33:40 am »

Would it be possible to add a counter check like this to the dicebag, or allow through a command?

(1d20 + character level or Hit Dice + target’s Wisdom bonus [if any] + target’s modifiers on saves against fear)

Basically as the SRD site says, including modifiers for size differences.

Intimidate :: d20srd.org

Edit: Was thinking perhaps an item that allowed to roll versus a single pc, or the pc's entire party, or everyone in a certain radius.

Roleplaying / Learning Elven...RP excuses vs. RP reasons – Food for thought

« on: January 02, 2008, 01:45:20 pm »

I have noticed that it is amazing just how many non-elves get taught elven by elven PCs...

I can’t help but wonder why?

Elves, even non-grey elves are by their very nature.....arrogant

Yes, you can argue that adventuring elves are much less so but they were STILL brought up as elves, they will have still been taught to look down on the 'lesser’ races during their childhoods.

So why are they happy to teach their musical and beautiful language to those lesser races?

Before some bright spark says...”so X can understand me” X being a friend, lover, husband, pet dog...

You BOTH speak COMMON....you already have a SHARED language....why do they need to learn elven to understand you?

I’m not saying that all those who have taught elven have done so for daft reasons, I’m just saying that elves are a little arrogant, so why the heck would they be sharing their language so much?

I mean, it’s kinda like the Jewish community teaching everyone Yiddish.

NB....I mean no offence to Jews or non-Jews, it was just the first example I could think of.

So basically.....if you’re thinking of teaching elven, for the love of chocolate can you stop, think and check it has a sound RP REASON for your character to do so.  Why is your elf happy to share their language with a non elf they can simply speak common to?

Now...I am not trying to have a go at anyone who has taught elven to others....I’m just trying to raise the point that the elven race is an arrogant one....I’m sure those on Ed The Ket’s present quest will back me up on this.  As such, people need to be remembering their heritage in situations like this.

It’s not quite the same as everyone loving Drow and Orc’s on sight, but it is something that should be considered.

I know, that each application has to be approved....But the Character approvers have to walk a fine line between ensuring the integrity of the world and that people have fun and let’s be honest, none of us (including myself) is above pointing at someone else’s submission and saying “How come they got it and I didn’t” as such, I just want people to think and take a little responsibility for the integrity of the world onto themselves for such things
