I actually use MT at work and it's a great way to get random numbers fast as possible. But it's still going to be slow compared to this (if the two schemes are coded at the same level). What I'm suggesting would be to only index a single array once (or only a few times) for each random number. MT pe...

random numbers and NS

howdy, I had an idea the other day that might speed things up a little bit on the server. One of the things that kills CPU time so often are single or double floating point calculations (fractions and decimals instead of simple integers for the rest of us). Anyhow, a game like this will involve plen...

meh.... suppose it happens 1/10 by chance still. So 3 times in a row, that's 1/1000. Not likely eh? Well, if we've got 100 people playing a day, and the average time someone is PK'd is once per day(make your own numbers up), then you've really only got to wait a few days and something like this WILL...

Stat increases and jobs.

Does a stat increase stack with subrace bonuses or not?

I ask because... having just completed the new NC job(Thanks Devs!) I noticed that my character gained one of the increases, but his charisma stayed the same(Aasimar).

is that working as intended or a little bug?

epic toughness is 20hp right(not 1 per level for max of 40 as toughness feat)? If so....taking 2 "epic toughness" feats would produce the same HP increase as 2 "consitution +1" feats at level 40 (and only 10 more HP at lvl 30). The extra constitution would have the added bonus of +1 fortitude. Or ma...

I'm sure I've "healed" (to do damage) countless numbers of them.

AB question

I've been told that after level 20, AB only increases every other level. So this raises a question of taking levels in a particular order. For simplicity, let's say someone takes 20 levels of mage, 20 of fighter. If they take the 20 levels of fighter first, then the 20 of mage, won't their final AB ...

Is multi-classing working?

no subrace bonus combined with my ecl is hard enough.... I leveled a NC cleric to 20 and then took two levels of CoT. After both CoT levels none of my stats changed. My AB is still +16 (for cleric at 20), my Saves are still stuck at their old values, and not even the feat Sacred Defense didn't chang...

There's an idea in there that might be particularly easy to do(at least from a balance stand-point). One of the most common problems in introducing new gear seems to be (well, to me anyways) that there's always a question of making one class too powerful compared to others. And of course this is mos...

concealment

So what exactly does concealment do? I've been a bit mystified by this and can't really find any documentation on what it means.

auto-fail/auto-save... on or off?

I noticed that I made a successful save with a roll of 1. I remember things used to be on auto-fail for 1, auto-save for 20. So I asked over general chat and got a variety of responses. So.... is it on, is it supposed to be on, or ???
