What Happened Here?
It appears that a separate post regarding a DM allegedly raiding relics has been heavily edited. Why would that be? I couldn't even find out the details of the allegation. What, exactly, is the policy regarding DMs and their recreational toons? I think I read elsewhere that they are not supposed to ...

clear? There are more things in heaven in earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio. One thing seems abundantly clear: you are not a programmer. Gee, it is such a shame that the developers of NS4 haven't the ability to code around such trivial problems. I wonder how they successfully cod...

SUBRaces that have a NEGATIVE 2 to a stat using a +2 book on that stat (or stats)will do nothing, and a +4 book will actually do +2. This has not been my experience with a Githyanki build; I was able to successfully apply both a +2 INT and a +2 CHA book. Sounds like we do not yet have the symptoms ...

Exploitable. Well, I always build out toons on "paper" (via a character creation module or the truly suberb CBC spreadsheet) before creating them on a server. But, as any sports fan will tell you, what's on paper doesn't necessarily win the day. So I challenge you to substantiate your single-worded...

XP Trade-in Mechanism
Here is my first suggestion for NS4: implement some kind of mechanism for players to trade in XPs to be used towards leveling other toons. I have seen different implementations of this on other servers, always though as some penalty (like a 1/4 or 1/2 exchange rate). A good rationale for implementin...

When considering such things, one must take into account: - unbuffed and buffed AB or AC - dispellable and non-dispellable buffs - free and costly buffs. AC or AB that is easily dispelled or comes at a price (such as Improved Expertise) is not very valuable. Other things, like Epic Dodge and Uncanny...

I made a comment that was not meant for shout and I do appologize for the profanity. Those that know me know that I am not one for swearing in most cases especially on a public channel. The simple solution is to not use profanity at all (in life in the best scenario) or when logged in to NS4. That ...

NWN1 uses a standard random generator for some functions, just a big error in its seeding means it always returns the same sequences. Thank you for that piece of information. I have thought and said for years the random number generator in NWN is whacked. The results were just too improbable, like ...

AND it has all the WM boosted crits and things that the initial weapon has. This should not be interpreted to mean that you don't have to take separate Weapon Focus and Epic Weapon Focus feats for each weapon - which is highly advisable. The same caveat would apply to WS and EWS feats (if you are t...

To me, the matter is simple: the NS4 mod should not do unexpected things. And I think it must be conceded that the 20+ drop in AC to dexers when blinded (and, I guess, wearing robes) is unexpected - i.e., it's not documented anywhere or seemingly talked about in NWN threads (though maybe on this las...

I can conclude that Uncanny Dodge is the offender. I'll check the Bioware site later on today to see if I can confirm Uncanny Dodge is not working as it should. See, people, that's what makes this server great. Responsible, rationale and interested developers. My hat's off to you, Sparky. FYI, I di...

try it sometime. get blinded, watch the ab rolls (especially on a dex toon as i think uncanny dodge still doesnt work). its not an effect of WoF it is an effect of the blind. Well, I don't have a dexer build on NS4 as yet...so I can't. Will someone with a dexer build please take the time to validat...
