    Variant penalties for being Resurected

    I must admit to dislike the current system under which XP is lost when a character is Raised from the dead. A character of level X is shipped to the middle of level X-1. That he might have just enough XP to be level X, or almost enough XP to be X+1 makes no difference. Maybe this makes sense...

    [FR] Who are the other Chosen

    We learn in the Shadows of the Avatar trilogy that the current Magister is a female. Apparently her tears become crystals a few seconds after falling on the floor. Or something like that. Anyway, she's described as being extremely anxious about wether or not she should use her powers, blah...

    [OT, don't move] Go see Signs.

    Signs Loved it, good entertainment. Much funnier than I thoughtit would be, I laughed harder than during Goldmember ( and for those who have'nt seen Signs yet -- Yes I laughed at the appropriate moments, not because the movie was bad ;). As for reviews, it's got 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, which...

    Worst. NWN Review. Ever.

    It's Something Awful. They do reviews to enrage people. I mean, that's what the website is about. Don't take it seriously, because it's not ;)

    Fluid site up, E-Tools Screenshots available

    Looks nice, a bit bland but I can agree with functionality over looks. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone from my gaming group getting this until/if they implement the stuff from the Splatbook, as I think most of our characters use feats/classes/stuff from them ( and most of the monsters too...

    as long as we are on half-orcs and half-elves..

    There are Half-Human/Half-Dwarf hybrids in Dark Sun, they are called Muls, and a Half-Human/Half-Kender is hinted at in one of the Dragonlance Antologies. You can get the Mul stats from the Athas.org website in the Races section.

    [NWN] Will it run on a PII-400?

    P2-350, 256 megs ram, GeForce 2, works great.

    Illegal to play D&D with others in the US?

    I'd tell your friend to stop trolling if I were you :)

    [NWN] Feat selection

    Extend's pretty nice actually, especially for Tenser's Transformation and other low duration spells like that. Extended Hastes on your followers are another good thing. If you're going the pure mage route, I'd recommand Spell Focus Evoc & Necromancy. Other Metamagics can be usefull...

    Anyone knows an online store selling WoTC novels in spanish?

    Preferably a store capable of shipping in Canada at a reasonable price. It'd be great if said store also carried other mainstream Fantasy novels in spanish.

    NWN system prequisites???? Will this work?

    You should be fine as long as you put everything in the graphics options at minimum. That's what I did with a slower system than yours, and it works good.

    Houston we have Achieved Orbit around NWN!

    P2-350, 256 Meg Ram, GF2 32 mb, works great. Graphics are at fastest, in 800X600, and it works great. I'm using the 16meg textures. The *only* noticeable problem I've had was when I used Polymorph Self to transform into an Umber Hulk. The model of the Umber Hulk ( when played by me -- I...

    Houston we have Achieved Orbit around NWN!

    Yeah, looks like Sorcerers can swap out some spells every time they level. Wizards still get their bonus feats tho, there are a few metamagic/spellcasting feats in the game : Combat Casting, Empower, Extend, Maximize, Quicken, Silent, Still, Spell Focus, Spell Penetration. Not only that, but (...

    NWN: How did they balance things out?

    Oh yeah, and it appears their animal companions are as strong as the Druid's, from the way it's written in the Game book. Rangers look much stronger ( and interesting ) in NwN.

    NWN: How did they balance things out?

    That and the fact that Handle Animal ( yeah, the skill ) is actually a Charm ( Or Dominate if you roll high enough ) in NwN. At will, since it's a skill. I was surprised but that's the best way to implement it in game when I think about it.

    RPG jumps into the mainstream... what next?

    Everquest's user base sits somewhere north of 450,000 active users at the moment. Neverwinter Nights should pass that number within the first week of release.

    Is a 45 point buy too much?

    Everything's going to be fine as long as you keep in mind that they are way above average. You can have some fun with this actually ; you can adjust monsters and npcs to take advantage of a 45 point buy. It WILL be more work for you, however.
