I'm a lite role player as well. Sometimes I just have to talk out of character. Like when I ask to wait, because I'm levelling up

[General Ludd]

I changed my mind. I think I'm going to be a straight wizard.

I started the module up to see what kind of equipment is available, and all I have to say is ugly. Bring me some cool stuff, Jamski.

Another thing I noticed was that for parties of 4 or more people the module sets your level to 22.

[Jamski]

Ok, I'll make a level 22 straight rogueish character then, if Ludd's going to be the firepower. Spot and Search all the way, baby.

I'll pack a few toys for the party too.

Oh, and RP-lite is good for me too - banter in character, but PLEASE I don't want to stand in a corridor for an hour hearing how your character used to be related to a god but thier evil twin is etc etc etc

Vlad-- Rogue/fighter/WM
Jamski-- Roguelike (assassin?)
Snotty-- Barbarian/fighter
Dissident-- Bard
DaShi-- Cleric (straight up)
General Ludd-- Wizard (straight up)

don't worry about me, I'll be singing as we're travelling. No sense sitting around doing nothing.

As for my build, I may throw in some levels of arcane archer in there as well. But I'll be mostly bard.

11pm-5am GMT is bad for me through Thur as I work. After that I've got three days off.

[Snotty]

Ive got to work on thursday and friday 9am-3:30pm GMT (short days this time of year). On sat morning I have to be away from my computer 8am-12 midday so I can have cable installed at my new flat. I might be able to convince my girlfriend to do that for me though, if thats the only time we can play.

Other than that I dont mind staying up silly times of night to play

[Snotty]

Anyone know of any perm-death servers? I feel like a challenge

[Jamski]

Wow... permanent death! Erm... I don't know if NeverwinterNethack is still running. Worth a try, but buggy as hell.

Arabel has the option for it.

[DrSpike]

Just wait until you lag just long enough for an effortless minion to kill you (after spending months getting to level x). Then tell me your opinion on permadeath.

[General Ludd]

It's true that dying to lag in such an environment can be a major downer, but it doesn't happen too, often and really, you should avoid situations where death is such an imminent threat that being disrupted for a second or two will result in your demise, anyways.

But I always enjoyed Hardcore Diablo 2, and that's a much more fighting intensive game. On a NWN server like Arabel, fighting is a secondary aspect to the game and is not something you will be doing constantly.

Besides, permadeath isn't neccisarily permanent anyways. There are always clerics that can ressurect you... perhaps for a fee. But you have to have friends and people who like you enough to go through the trouble for that to happen.

[duke o' york]

How can I use resurrection spells in the OC? Do I just need to cast it on the general area my henchman died in, and watch him spring back to life? (Well, as near life as having almost no HP can be. )
I'm well through chapter 3, and am just wandering around the giants' caves, before going to explore with my magic shield of Dragonslaying. I had a couple of goes at defeating the Giant Champion at the entrance to the next level of the giant caves, but he always defeats me. I get him to Near Death and just keep hitting him, with some tasty sneak attack arrows firing in from Tomi, but he just won't die. I have no idea how he can manage to stay at near death level for so long, and then turn up with a deadly flurry of whacks to just kill me outright before I can heal.
Help would be handy. The second time around I used Speed, Barkskin and Strength potions, as well as Divine Shield, but I'm not sure what else I can use to finally kill him. Needless to say, once he topped me for the second time in a row, I gave up and went directly to the pub to watch football.

Instead of having your 'Poly Adventure characters ramble on about themselves in the game, maybe you could all post a potted history of your character - to sort of reflect the fact that you were all sat in the boozer chatting when some fool decided that going on an adventure would be a nice change, and so you already know a little about your companions. Just a thought.

[DrSpike]

Don't remember that fight.

[Jamski]

Patch 1.65 is out AS OF THE NOW!

Folderol will be updating to 1.65 within the next server cycle.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Seeing as I've been extolling the virtues of Rangers for a while... I decided to make one myself for this crazy venture.

Ellowyn Wayfarer
Half-Elf Female, Chaotic Neutral

Initial: STR 16, DEX 16, CON 10, INT 12, WIS 12, CHA 8

1) Rogue @1, Power Attack, Sneak Attack +1d6
2) Rogue @2
3) Ranger @1, Cleave, Favored Enemy 1
4) Rogue @3, Sneak Attack +2d6, Str+1 (17)
5) Ranger @2
6) Rogue @4, Weapon Focus (Longsword)
7) Ranger @3
8) Ranger @4, Str+1 (18)
9) Ranger @5, Knockdown, Favored Enemy 2
10) Rogue @5, Sneak +3d6
11) Ranger @6
12) Ranger @7, Toughness, Str+1 (19)
13) Ranger @8
14) Ranger @9
15) Ranger @10, Improved Crit (Longsword), Favored Enemy 3
16) Rogue @6, Str+1 (20)
17) Ranger @11
18) Ranger @12, Great Cleave
19) Ranger @13
20) Ranger @14, Str+1 (21)
21) Rogue @7, Sneak +4d6, Epic Focus (Longsword)
22) Ranger @15, Favored Enemy 4
...
23) Ranger @16
24) Ranger @17, Epic Prowess
25) Ranger @18
26) Ranger @19
27) Ranger @20, Favored Enemy 5, Bane of Enemies

Then more Ranger levels after that, with three more Rogue levels mixed in somewhere.

final level 22 result: Rogue 7/Ranger 15, 22/16/10/12/12/8.

Bio will come later (I'll wait until someone else posts theirs). As for basic details... half-elf growing up in a human community, one not particularly noted for its tolerance of non-humans. Especially the children of humans and non-humans. Especially half-elves. Long story short: house burned down by big unruly mob while her parents were inside. Ellowyn took to the back alleys for a while, apprenticed under a rogue. Said mentor then betrayed her. So she ran off again. Some rangers and druids operated out of a nearby forest... you can see where this is headed.

anyway... more times: I will probably be able to play pretty much all of Friday except insanely early AM GMT-5. GMT evening... taking that to be 1700-2300, then that'd be 1200-1700; I can do that easily. Yay for being done with everything.
