Oh my god! - you may have just found a hole in the test schedule!

LOL

Let me worry about that kind of stuff

You worry about hanging on to your tools.

Nemesis Revised wrote:deathdealer, yeh i suppose you'd have to carry alot of weapons now. poor dexters with low str cant carry much as their strength counterparts though. somehow this will make players go for strength-type characters more, or put more lore into their skills, and will also encourage camping-areas for their weapons.

Yeah! Nobody ever thinks of us poor little midgets. You strong body-builder humans, dwarfs, and half-breeds could probably hold an extra for each of your equipped items (gloves, armor, etc.). Not trying to complain, but on behalf of the Department of Midgets I want more Mr. President and Congress! lol, yeah but seriously. We get good AC us dex builds but stand NO chance against bigsbies (you people know why) and can't stock up on gold from nuggets like the str guys. Holding onto extras would be a hassle, and mages don't get disarmed much anyway (heck, they don't even use the staves for anything except a few extra spells which are mostly buffs they have already casted when you disarm it).

Ideas? You're asking a crazy midget, but I got some. Disarm wise, we're screwed. But about the bigsbies, is it possible to allow dex characters to take a reflex roll to dodge the arcane hands? Sorry to make more work for you guys, but bigsbies are a bit out of control. No, don't disable them. No nerfs, just allow characters to make a reflex save. Can that be coded in? Please, the fate of the MOA (Midgets Of Aetheria) depends on you!

i don't mind the disarm script, just thought it was odd that it thinks anything leaving your inventory is disarmed.

for fricebottle...my PM has 3 sets of full plate armor, 10 different weapons, a horde of extra little equipment, a box of scrolls, a sarcophogus, and lots of heal kits and potions.....i still have room and str to carry a relic unaffected. with all that bigby knocks me down.

Yeah, true. You got a point there. Bigsbies are rather crazy, but I heard initially bigsbies only defense against was spell resistance. Strength to break it was a gift from the Devs, can't believe Bioware created two level 9 spells that were so opposite its insane. Bigsbies, which absolutely rock. And Meteor Swarm...I'm not going to say anything about Meteor Swarm...

Blame Bioware! Lazy Canadians. They live north of North Dakota, they have no common sense...none at all...lol...

although diffrnt topic, yeh it'd be a neat idea for a bigby to be evaded by a reflex modified save. gives dextsters a chance too.

back on topic, how bout giving dexters a little more chance against disarm? i noticed that since most of the time dexters would carry smaller-sized weapons, it'd be easier for them to be disarmed compared to strength fellas who can afford to carry large-sized weapons (harder to be disarmed)

I can control where weapons go and things like that but the actual basis of the feat is hardcoded in the NWN engine.

Nothing I can do about increasing the save etc.

Aw dang

. Well, this just goes to show that no one can script like Chuck Norris. Sorry Zing, lol.

Once Bioware created a game with faulty scripts all over it, then Chuck Norris came along and the engine organized itself in sheer terror. That is how Call of Duty 2 was created, lol. I got problems
