Cihparg, taking away people's ability to use secret alts is not cool. I don't want people to know who I've played, but don't want to use a new CD key with every character. The scry option really bums me out.

I like low levels because of how fast you progress, how many new folks you get to kick it with, and this is where I find out so much of who the character is. I like mid levels because that is where serious conflict begins, sides are chosen, and enemies are found. But, if I have to pick one sweet spo...

This weekend is sizing up to be busy for me. Not sure how my playtime will be affected, only that it will be less.

For future reference, Speedies do not count towards Rule #2 because they are not interactive.

I hate to come into a thread with something negative and nothing positive so I will promise to return once I have considered, but... Counts only toward PvP deaths. Counts only toward respawns. My concern in this is that it becomes too good. MoD, in my opinion, should be a big risk. Without much cons...

1) I think it is not done enough. 2) I think is can be done tastefully. 3) A thousand. I have seen so many players use this to great effect. I can give a couple examples. -The Geriatric Assimar Paladin using his "wife" calling him him home in Benwick when he needed to log. It was funny and it was re...

I am on SR's team on this one. STR is going to get you far more than DEX. When I am building a character I ask myself what they are going to do in combat. If they are melee based then they are going to need a way to do damage. For meleers this boils down to being STR based or having a substantial in...

Stuff This boils down to a player's decision, not the current death system. People are gonna do what they do. If you think there was a rules or policy breach you should report it to the DM team. It is one of the two most powerful tools we have as players to alter the culture of Arelith. The other o...

I see bashing as a tool of RP. A very late game tool. One that is not to be used casually. PvP for me is fun, I enjoy it, and I think that it can promote RP. I try to make the most out of every single episode of PvP my characters get into. I want to make something of the PvP I loose: enemies, confli...

They are asking if the dodge AC counts when you are casting a spell, I believe.

To answer the question: You loose all dodge AC when flat-footed. Check this guy out to see when you are or are not FF'ed: http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Flat-foot

Seems so, P3.

Cloaker Cave on the Ice Road. So metal.

Been busy this weekend. Should be back to regular playtime starting tomorrow.

You can n ot FoB with Quarterstaffs. And as masterswordsman (no vowels?) pointed out the quarterstaff is a large weapon where kamas are small. This affects disarming others and being disarmed. Also, you can choose to use just one kama to remove the -2 penalty to attack from TWFing. Oh, and quarter s...

Here is an old thread with a bunch of discussion: http://forum.arelith.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3876&hilit=artifacts I was really worried over the power creep of Artifacts, not so much these days. I do not see them affecting the server the way I had imagined. This is just from my own experiences tho...

So, I just want to throw it out there that I think this event was perfect. That it drew so many enemies together, that it was so topical, that so many people showed up, and that it will continue to be a source of rp for months to come. I'll not name names for fear of leaving someone out, but you wer...

I have worn the backspace button out on my keyboard trying to type something meaningful. I'm lost for words. She was an amazing villain. I was lucky enough to know her from her rise to her fall. We could all learn a thing or two from the way she was played. If anyone deserves a 40 it is her. Thank y...

My own game does this from time to time, since I reinstalled and have not put the ini mod in to stop the wait. When it does that, the not pausing bit, I can also not connect. What fixes this is to exit and redo the connection part again so that it does wait. Excuse the jumbled mess of my post. I hop...

Crafting points are fixed as well! Thank you!

Humans. I am too dimwitted to play anything else. Also, I don't think I could play a demi-human up to the standards I would set for myself. All the others are too alien for me.

That sucks, dude. I believe it is something to do with the merge of UD and Cordor.

I'm pretty sure it is not kept up any longer, BillNye

It is very nice when -guarded too.

Lucia is one of the most epic characters I've met. You should be scared of her oocly.

They are not required. As TRM and Cortex said, you will get more from a more well rounded character than you will with an extremely min-maxed one on Arelith. I, personally shoot for a base score of 26 on my main stat depending on the class spread. Clerics being one of the few exceptions to that rule...
