Problems Creating a new character

Remmus Reven · Post by **Remmus Reven** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 4:09 pm

When I tried to create a character (Ranger), I get an error:

PLAYER LOGIN REFUSED, CHARACTER APPLIED INVALID NUMBER OF SKILLPOINTS.

Any clues why this would be?

Bah, I cant find it on the forums, there is an issue with one of the subraces and maxed intelligence. Thats the only issue that comes to mind at the moment.

i had a theif with that problem. basically you can't use that many skill points spread out when you create the char. you have to wait until lvl 2 to dump them all where you want them.

I created a human, no sub race.

Bah. I then Created an Elf, filled in the subrace field to 'Drow', but I don't see the subrace stats... Is there something I need to do to get this the drow abilities?

OK, odd question, but which NS module are you entering? NS4 or NS3.5?

The two while maintained by the same general group are about as disparate as you can get.

OK, I contacted a DM IG (Blinkey? something like that sorry if I mispelled), and he was very nice, and pointed me to going to NS4 where subraces exists.

I restarted my drow wizard there, and chose to go to Menzoduran, but without a familiar, I cannot get my character to level up at all. I've died like 15 times, and I've no gold to even better my situation.

What's the reason for removing familiars anyways?

your best bet is to create a fighter type character first to get gp and gear for harder-to-lvl chars later...

I have been ranting to get them back ever since they diabled them (like prolly close to a year now) . I miss them

... the devs are working on some kinda customization scrip for them and from what i understand there isn't a defined time in when they will be back.

But what was the reason for taking them out?

Oh and Jain, I want to do a Wizard, diluting it with fighter levels is not what I had in mind.

they took them out for an unknown reason as they where going to rework the script to make them customizable. i guess they could have left them in but maybe someone was using them to exploit somethig .... i remember watching magic foo (lvl 40 sorc) use his to make lower lvl chars life a pain lol ... that was right before they yanked them ....

there was a bug that when them upper lvl casters had there fimiliar that it would cause those the killed to have a respawn penalty even if it was from the caster directly, i remember that happened to me 1/2 a million times.
