Mask of the Betrayer Redux

[Sand]

Hmmmmm... Spirits... Stays crunchy in milk...

[Berserk]

So, when there are WIS-related lines in an conversation, are there INT-related ones as well in order to balance out?

[Tigranes]

There aren't many intelligence related options. I'm not sure what [insight] calculates, but there are a few of those.

 

Mostly it's about wisdom.

 

In

Ashenwood

Act 2 with second evil-ish play through, it seems to be really hard to get influence with One of Many because there aren't that many opportunities... it sucks

because I need a tank and I need good influence apparently to change him into Brute.

 

[Spider]

Actually, there are a few INT-based options. I had almost no Wis-based ones, but that's hardly surprising given how low my Wisdom was.

[Tigranes]

Hrm. Maybe I need higher intelligence then.

 

Playing a

devour-happy character is a real strain on your meter, it really sucks because if I miss an item in Ashenwood before coming back to Mulsantir, it kills me to go back and get it.

 

In the Wells of Lurue, when Ujuk demands that you bring him some sentients to eat and he'll teach you something - well, who are you supposed to bring? The Farmer certainly won't talk to you after Gann's done with him....

How does "imbue item" work for a warlock? Do you just place the item and the essence in the satchel and the ability duplicates the spell you're supposed to use to enchant the item?

 

And on that note, how do you (further) enchant non-weapons-and-armor items? I tried to enchant rings and cloaks and it did not work.

[Cantousent]

Tigranes, look in the spoiler area for some hints.

The description for imbue item is absolutely terrible. Not because it's not descriptive, but because it seems hardly english.

This is a funny line. I will be honest, I don't remember much of it, but I'll take your word for it. :Cant's tongue in cheek grin icon:

[Tale]

It's something like the Warlock "gets a 25% discount since he never meets the spell component increased CL by 3"

 

what?

imbue item don't work... not at the moment. you need the appropriate item creation feats to make magic widgets with warlock imbue ability... but somehow the obsidian developers made item creation feats not selectable for warlocks...

 

am blaming eldar. what were he doing during all that playtesting?

 

HA! Good Fun!

Terrible can be GOOD if it's Engrish, though.

 

For great justice!

Does Kaji get better during campaign?

 

He is only character in my party with rogue skills and I've encountered doors etc. he can't open. And they seem to be undestroyable too. Not even meteor storms destroy them! Gah! For example

in lower levels of Death God's vault there's this corridor (opening it will bring painful encounter with bunch of Ancient Vampires - definetly hardest fight so far. I hate epic monks and their quivering palms. No matter how I positioned my characters and how

Edited October 19, 2007 by Xard

[Pop]

If a door is indestructible, it needs a key. And no, I don't think Kaji gets any better.

 

I'm curious, can PCs get portraits like the CNPCs?

Edited October 19, 2007 by Pop

[Xard]

Uhh, I've cleared whole "dungeon" and no key. Besides, normally you get either "this door needs key" or DC is 99. Or Kaji says something like "nope can't do that"

 

Now it's only 40 and Kaji rolls at best 37. In other words if he had few more skill points in open lock he would be able to open the damn door.

[Spider]

Have Safiya memorize greater heroism and cast it on him?

[Xard]

Hmm... greater heroism affects skills as well?

 

I didn't know that and I'm not sure if she has the spell. If not I'll get it with next level up (with fireball for crafting purposes. Epic wizard and no fireball spell. Tsk tsk. What was she thinking before I started to control her level ups. ).

[jaguars4ever]

To get

Kaji

to open the DC 45 & 50 doors in the

Death's Vault

, you need to cast greater heroism + cat's grace on him (regular heroism & cat's grace will be enough for the DC 45 door).

[Tigranes]

Curious, though, I don't remember any doors I couldn't open in my first playthrough in that place, and I was in the situation. If I'm right about the doors you talk about, they definitely only open later in the game (

it's the one where opening them spawns some vampires behind you right?

).

 

I didn't know about the Greater Heroism trick though, it's nice since

Kaji can't use thieves' tools.

At least the traps are all crap and negligible. Traps on the whole in every NWN game were never worth bothering about, for me.

Yeah, that's pretty much the same with those weapons coating sprays.

[Tigranes]

BG Traps were where it's at, Tree of Life Irenicus would be down to Badly Wounded and you could kill Abazigal's son (dragon form) in three rounds with the Epic traps.

 

Time Stop Trap + Assassination!

[Musopticon?]

Ah, traps and Gangaxx...

[Pidesco]

That's Kangaxx.

 

And I'm awesome because I remember this, not pathetic.

Hehe I was asleep at the switch.

I bow before your superior...talents of recollection.
