Is it a good custom weapon? And can he make greatswords? It took me almost an hour and a half of fooling around to get that 1 mil gold and I'd hate to waste it.


Killing Misera Bull isn't any great accomplishment is it?

How did you get 1 million at low level? Some abuse no doubt.

Yeah, I do have some configurations that I already use, but since I'm lazy I like having a general purpose one that I can use most of the time (which generally feature haste and as many immunities as I can, especially knockdown and fear).

Note to Jam: A config switcher would be nice.

My fighter14/WM7 has 1.2 million.

That would explain why I wouldn't have found any, I rarely find rare items.

That's the idea.

I played the start of the Alterra mod yesterday (can't remeber it's real title, but it ends with - the Lost), and it's good fun, but I was a bit frustrated by it. I got to level 3 without a single fight, and then noticed that you don't get any XP for actually killing things!
It seems as though my greatsword weaponmaster in the making may be a bit pointless after all. But it's quite well written, and there's a lot of areas to explore. Reminds me of the OC quite a lot though.

He makes +5 keen weapons with an extra +2d6 damage. Not greatswords though - you can buy a greatsword of equivalent power from the Formians.

It is at level 10. It is at level 15 with a solo rogue. Its not at level 20. He's about the same challenge rating as Madam Ant.

Doc, what do you mean by a "config switcher"? Some kind of macro to store a list of all your equipped items and allow you to recall and re-equip that config at anytime could be done. Running out of quickslots are we?

Somekind of w00tly magic device that saves your neck in combat - either by annihilating the enemies or teleporting you clear - but that uses its charges to make your magical items non-magical would be fun.
In fact, it would have to be teleporting, or else you would just leave your nice items in a handily-placed cupboard before automatically winning the next battle at a cost of having a ring of protection +1 deleted from your inventory and replaced by an ordinary silver ring.

You've got the idea - sometimes you need more than a quickslot can offer.

[ColdWizard]

That's the idea.

Statistically speaking, I tend to be behind the curve. Or at least I was in my pen and paper days, can't be arsed to keep track anymore

But I can't use it for 2 more levels

Running laps in Bull Run isn't abuse is it? Not my fault the bulls are easy and give crap exp while having lots of treasure lying about.

I was/am rather disappointed about how easy it was to kill Misera Bull. The first time I met him he seemed quite deadly

Which reminds me of the question I forgot to ask last night. Is there a cap of 300xp for any individual monster, no matter how "impossible" it is? If so, it makes fighting some of them quite pointless (imho) unless they drop something good.

[DrSpike]

Jam changed the xp system, but it used to be 600xp max, though for 2 that's 300 max (under the old xp split rules). I think the latter is different under the new rules, but probably the former is not. Jam can confirm.

Either the wagon guy, Peartoupeé, disappeared or my brain did (likely the latter). Is he or is he not at

Spoiler:

The first wagon of the Great North Road - Badlands?

Sorry for the NOOBness of the question, but does anyone have a link for Folderol? I've never played a NWN persistent world, but dagblastit I think that this weekend I might just give it a go!!! Any level/class reqs?

There's a max of 300 xp per player per monster and a minimum of 5. Although the script is set up to enable builders to make boss monsters give more xp, no one has actually used it yet. You get a base value that increases by level, a bonus to xp for the number of people in the party, a bonus depending on your level, and a few other random bonuses and penalties (i.e. pure mage vs magic resistant monster)

Travelling salesman. He's not always there, he doesn't always have the same stock. Sometimes he's there but won't trade, because he's in a hurry.

Seemed like he was always there on my other trips, but those weren't many. Guess percentages are catching up with me.
