So far we have only barely ventured into the Plane of Air but it's good to just see some different stuff. From our experiences it seems that the Plane of Air really makes players team up to get anywhere in them. Mages seem to have a tough time soloing because of SR so they are probably better off buffing tanks and sending them forth to kill things. Bigby spells seem most effective as they can hold things down while the Melee players pound on them. Rogues seem to loose something as well due to most things being immune to Sneak Attacks. Even most Melee characters may have a tough time soloing because of the ranged attacks and uber KDs of some of the mobs. So far we have found 3, +5 items including Djin Garb, Storm Armor, and a Buckler. Unfortunatly I don't have stats on any of them as they got scattered throughout the party. If you find something new or have other experiences please post them here. I would love to see some SS of the new gear as it is found. Good Luck and Happy Hunting.

i found the plane of earth and ventured there with 1 other person. its a tough place to be but the xp for some of them are nice also. no items found there.

found the dwarven home plane and preceeded to raid it. tough mobs and i keep hearing they get tougher. no gear but its hard with low ab to kill the tough ale drinking bingers.

#@%! DANGIT! I'M SO HAPPY BUT ALSO NOT AT THE SAME TIME! lol, but dang. I love all the work that went in in a matter of hours, but rogues already get it tough enough.

A rogue is a rogue, not a warrior.

Yes, but they possess so many skills a warrior could only dream of having. Unfortunately, not many are to be seen on NWN period. Its just the fact that rogues are good in PnP, because DMs there can just spring out things randomly where the rogue has to disable them before the team gets trapped by a ton of niragwas or something. Auril does a good job of keeping us on our toes though when hes on

. Dang, but are the things immune to sneaks undead or constructs?

Post by **Metis** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 8:56 pm

Constructs are immune but there is plenty more on the planes then constructs that just hate being sneaked

Maybe not anymore...

Fire plane mobs buffed a bit. So were a couple other mobs. Also boss drops fixed to be dropped 100% of the time. A broken transition also fixed in Dwarf Home.

coolness. is that the door we couldn't get thru?

also...killed that big guy, FIRST planar boss beat cr39. beat up Ragnar(as in Ragnars Kin) and cheesy or cheery whatever that bosses name was. decent xp for killing them, but i thought they were a little too easy. even though there were 7 of us just kicking the tar out of them.

Yeah, that should be fixed now.

I'll try and be reviewing the bosses to see where they need tweaking.

Realized that Alzaara doesn't drop anything currently - I'll try and fix that soon.

Well, I'm ready for another expedition. Led a small party of Brethren and others into the Plane of Fire, we found several Fire Fists and a Flame Harvester, but I didn't see any bosses. It was pretty rough at first until we got the hang of it.

I noticed there's only elemental planes of Fire, Air, and Earth right now. Are you guys saving the Plane of Water for the 1.67 patch for the various PotSC models and placeables?

Death Dealer1 · Post by **Death Dealer1** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 10:56 pm

yes. Alzaara and the 2 dwarf bosses didn't drop anything. that was the most disappointing.
