Ask A Gamemaster / //Information needed on saving throws
« on: October 29, 2011, 11:24:05 am »
Strangely enough, I have never really given this much consideration before but am now wondering about this. When your character, or an opponent (monster, npc, etc) has to make a saving throw, does:

a) a roll of 20 always make a successful save against the effect in question?
b) a roll of 1 always make a fail against the effect in question?


I ask because I have recently seen monsters roll a 20 against a DC which when added to their ability bonus (Fort, Reflex, etc) still means they should fail the DC, yet they save against the effect. This is hard, but you can live with this.

What worries me more is that if a pc has no device given immunity against an effect and rolls a 1, even if their basic save is higher than the DC needed, then does that mean they fail and take the full effect. This is worse than the scenario  described in paragraph above.

Fixed Bugs / Player login refused
« on: December 20, 2010, 05:32:12 pm »
Description: When trying to bring my character, Ygraine Ursus, into the game under the username of Acco II, I get the following message after I have clicked on her then clicked on Okay to play the character:
 
 Player login refused. Character does not meet minimum spell level requirement for feat.
 
 I have restarted NWN and get this message every time.
 
 I have attached a screeny of the message: [ATTACH]18377[/ATTACH]
 
 
 Location: No location. This happens at the screen after you select the character you want to play.
 
 Verified:
 
 Reproducable: It happens every time I try it.
 
 Notes: Ygraine has not levelled, lost levels, or changed anything since the last time she was in-game perhaps 5 hours previously. She has a feat which she cannot use and I wonder if some update has occurred in the interim which has caused this issue.

Bug Report

Description: Tried to use the boulders to move across the river on the west side of the map, but when I clicked the stones, I saw a message "Destination could not be found". I was in a shifted form, but have not seen this message before and reading it would seem to suggest that being shifted had nothing to do with it.

Fixed Bugs / Current Contents not Displaying

Help!!
 
 I am looking at the forums (e.g. Cailomel Goods and Wares) and although I can see on the main page that there are currently dated posts, when I open one of the threads, the latest posts I see are dated July?? This means I can't see what the guild I am in needs from me at the very least.
 
 I have checked all of my settings and so on, but nothing seems to point to this error cause. I also see a bunch of posts that have 0 content from the forum and show 47 people have read it, but when I open the thread I only see a Quick Reply box then get a message saying this forum is not accepting posts, i.e. Trade and Market Hallo > Amulet of Strength.
 
 Help please!!!

p.s. Have just tried using the thread tools to search for a reply EdtheKet made to me in the Writer's Forum (Trading Companies in Vanavar), the date of which I can see (09-18-10), but the search shows me no results. I have tried searching by EdtheKet, Edt, Ed , the, and a whole bunch of other words and usernames -  even my name, Xaltotun - all to no avail.

Development Journals and Discussion / Discrediting Tyillaan
« on: August 23, 2010, 07:26:21 am »
//This thread will hold all the details on Eleandilethessa's part of the plot to discredit Tyillaan



duchess (Eleandilethessa Quil'lyn) has been asked by the leader (Ni'haer) of the group she is in to mimic Tyillaan with a view to making her suspect in murder/destruction around various places and to grow seeds of doubt in the minds of her friends.



Tyillaan and duchess used to be lovers, so duchess knows her well enough that a masquerade by duchess should have a reasonable chance of success (I hope).

  • In order for it to work, duchess will:
  • create an outfit in grey and purple to mimic Ty's
  • create a bow that looks similar
  • apply some makeups to only partially resemble her tattoos. Only partially as she will not be able to make exact copies, I guess, so if they are partial, part of that disguise will be to make it look as if the tattoos were trying to be covered, albeit unsuccessfully so that a part of them is showing
  • will talk in a stutter when in disguise and use her bow to attack and kill people
  • will use scrolls she has collected to inflct magical damage, especially fire to represent Ty's arcane archer arrows, to further make the attacks convincing
  • she will be unhooded from time to time to show facial tattoos, and her mimic armour will show bare arms and has thigh length boots which show some skin between boot and skirts
  • she will be on foot and will use her shadow dancer skills to evade capture following the deed. After the event and as soon as possible, she will pull her normal outdoors clothes on to revert to her normal self and hide the Ty impersonation
The plan is to attack and kill random helpless farmers and citizens that are easy prey and away from the major towns at the time of the attacks, a few at a time over a few weeks.

She will if possible, leave the occasional severely wounded or dying survivor after the first few attacks to recognise her and give a description based on the above. Robbery will appear to be the motive and will give her a chance to mimic the stutter as she robs a body near a wounded/dying farmer.



The start area will be around Fort Llast and move to Krandor then Haven and without any pattern (she will roll a random dice to decide which area to go to next).



//this is a copy of the original pm sent to MasterJack and placed in here so the whole thread can be kept together.



More to follow once I get onto it.

We thank you for your custom and hope you are not disadvantaged by this unusual turn of events.

Rumour Has It / Strange death at Misted Village
« on: June 04, 2010, 03:59:10 pm »
A rumour has reached the ears of the residents of Dalanther that a party of 'adventurers' penetrated Misted Village and wrecked some havoc there.
 
 The reason this came to the attention of the Dalantherites is that it appears from reports that as they were leaving the village, one of these people called 'Rover' (or perhaps it was 'Dog') was killed by a dark elf called 'Legs'. It is unconfirmed and also unknown as to why this happened, but it seems that the 'adventurers' left the area soon afterwards and rather quickly.

Rumour Has It / A post Box in Arnax

*A message appears in a certain post box in Arnax, marked Attn. Hayden.

The calligraphy is extremely ornate and challenging to read, for humans and dwarves at least, but the message is clear enough to the intended recipient.

There is no signature.

Fixed Bugs / Lost horse found
« on: May 24, 2010, 02:41:50 pm »
I forgot where I left my horse, so went to Orc's Watch to get the stablemaster to find it for me. I paid the 1k fee and my horse duly arrived. However, the horse wasn't named and so I renamed it.

Is this a bug or is it normal for the horse to be returned you as a new animal.

Thanks in advance.

Rumour Has It / Dwarven bodies found dead in caves
« on: May 04, 2010, 12:09:47 pm »
Annwyl Cadi, Lili Hrathen and Ygraine Ursus found two dead dwarves, both female, in the cave in the Forest of Fog.

They checked the bodies most carefully, but they were beyond the Sister's meagre skills, so after they extracted some revenge on the giants, they took the bodies off to Castle Mask. They did pause on the way past Prantz and talked it over, but assumed that the dwarves wouldn't thank them for asking Raelites to help them.

//Mixafix has removed the bodies

Rumour Has It / Strange woman seen in Forest of Fog, by Corax Lake
« on: March 07, 2010, 08:27:30 am »
*A report is handed into Vale.*

Argos and Ygraine were 'discussing' yet again why she did not want to be called a Miss as Azk'a was busying himself looting the bodies of the fallen giants.  Azk'a and Ygraine turned to go, when Argos started speaking to someone, but there was no-one there.

Az'ka said Argos was imagining it, and walked off to the lake, but Ygraine changed her form and to her surprise, saw a woman to their side, veiled by various magics, but still there none the less.

She said she was out walking in the forest and had heard the mayhem and carnage (her words). She was not especially forthcoming about her presence or what she was doing there alone even though Argos tried to talk to her, and he did talk a lot. He even asked her to accompany us to a safer place, but she did not respond and eventually Ygraine got bored and talked Argos into returning to the lake with her. The woman was most strange and secretive, so watch out for her if you are in that area.

Oh, and it might be a co-incidence, but we came across some giant wasps in the forest and couldn't find their hive. We even fought some snakes and scorpions in the desert too, but they are not uncommon in all that sand, I suppose. Hmm.

Fixed Bugs / Hous names in Castle Mask Outskirts
« on: February 15, 2010, 04:36:38 pm »
I am not sure if this is a bug, but when you click on a door in the Outskirts of Castle Mask, it reports the door as being in Castle Raxswell.
 
 The attached picture shows the dialogue with the door, and the smaller inset is my character and where the map says she is (which is correct).
