What's your favorite NS4 areas?

So with the recent giant mountain changes, maybe yuanti should be left alone, and only the wyrm road bandits and the dragons bumped a little to match?

I really like the Sleeth Arena map. A shame it's so underutilized.

Stick it in the middle of Ave with a uber NPC to play against

Definatly agree with putting it to use.

[Elagneros]

its close enough to SL/RK for use....but players are lazy

SL. They can go out from Menzo and up the North Road, it's about the same distance LA had to travel.

Not RK. Lizardmen and yuan-ti are neutral to us.

Sounds reasonable.

Ill mess around with the stuff. But it will probably all be around cr 8-14.. There is also the marsh area, maybe ill throw some bandits in there.

Bumped the wyrm bandits up a few lvls and gear. Upped the dragon spawn on al the road areas to Juvys. Tough little buggers. Upped the lizardfolk and added them to day/night from just night.
Should be 4-5 good areas of that cr 8-11 stuff now. Give me some feedback on difficulty.

The dragons dont get a fear aura at juvy so its just dmg and breath weapons. A good prot from elements should be fine, but an unbuffed melee may get owned. I felt Yuanti alone as they are already cr 8-11.

Not sure I want to go higher for this as it is rigth north of Old town. Would be too big of a jump.

Also, the juvys use the regular dragon model so Im not sure if thats the mini you are talking about. Dont see any model for a mini or anyway to set the scale.

There should be a way to make any model bigger or smaller. I don't know how to do it, but pelor has that really tiny gold dragon form. I've seen other servers shrink lions down really small to make housecats and things too, which is a nice touch.

its more advanced than what DD is used to....he'll have to ask lokey

I went to the abyss today to see the challenge rating improvements and didn't notice any changes. Took me like 15 minutes and a stack and a half of full heals to kill 1 balrog, and it was still only cr 37. Spent 3x as much exp crafting those potions as I got from killing the thing using a level 36 ecl 0 build.

It would be nice if challenge ratings there were up around 40, that balrog in particular had more ab (77 ab), more hp, and more damage reduction than most planar bosses.

nothings been touched yet fool

Other minor CR tweaking in areas as many and varied as Illithids, Illithids and Abyss/Celestia.

change log says otherwise

I bumped up CRs on Fiends and Archangels first, those were far and away the worst offenders.

Here's a guide that covers creature scaling:

http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Sc ... 63&id=3412

It's also in the 1.69 NWN Lexicon.

It's pretty simple really, in the toolset, there should be a group of models labeled Invisible Dragon 10 to Invisible Dragon 200. You pick one of the invisible models and then set the creature you're rescaling as a tail. The 10-200 numbers represent the new size from 10 to 200%. So for the juveniles, you could make dragons that are maybe 30-50% the size of a normal dragon.

I think devs already did something like this with G1.

[DeputyDog]

Cool, Ill check it out.. Maybe Ill start messing with other models as well..
