I noticed that Implosion has been modified to have a DC of 3 less on Amia. I think it would be a good idea to add it to the list of modified spells.

More like it was modified to fix a bug, because Bioware for whatever inane reason gave Implosion a +3 DC for literally no reason, and anyone relying on that crutch is a bad, bad person that likes to exploit things.

Uh.

There are a LOT of spells that do not work the way they do in PnP. That doesn't make using them a bug exploit.

If it's changed from BioWare, it should be on the modifications page.

Implosion doesn't have a +3 random Dc in PnP either. You missed my point.

I don't even understand why there is a need for an argument or points to be made here. It has been established by the NWN community that the +3 DC for Implosion is no bug, but rather an intended change. Why they did it, nobody knows, but it was intended, hence it is no bug, and people are not exploiters. I only asked that it be clarified in the modified spells menu, since that is exactly what it is - a modified spell.

Established by the NWN community? Which community?

The spell is AoE, defeats Death Ward, is a popular Cleric focus school. It does not nee d+3 DC for no reason especially when it goes against the rules for calculating spell DCs. Whoever at bioware coded it into the spell should be slapped with the PHB.

IMO it doesn't need to be listed because it was abugfix. The spell works properly as can be expected with the standard spell DC rules of NWN.

Not flaming but you asked.

Why are you so opposed to informing people? There is no harm in it what so ever. The spell was modified from how it originally works in the game, and people should get to know. Or is it just that you want to screw the "exploiters" over and have them find out the hard way? Not very mature.

Seriously, this is a no-brainer. I didn't even expect replies here, I just expected it to be done. I don't see what the big deal is.

"This spell's DC is increased by +3. Some players consider this a bug, but it seems clear from the spell script that it is an intentional change. "

According to the calculations for spell DC, it is a bug, an inconsistency, and there is nothing in either the spell description nor the PnP translation that impliees it should recieve a DC boost.

Ergo, bugfix. Consistency for everyone.

I'll second this.. there is a lot that doesn't do what you might normaly expect the NWN game engine to do and won't readily find on the forums. My best advice is to either be willing to experiment, or ask around for advice on the build thread.

For me the saveing grace is now the quarterly rebuild the nice staff here lets us have.... FREE DO-OVERS! just incase you made a mistake, or found that perhaps something else would have made more sence for RP purpose.

I can't see why it's not added to the sidebar.
It would save threads like this, and it wouldn't exactly hurt. Just a little note edited into one post. There's really no reason to dig one's heels in, considering how easy it is to add the note.

Talk to Maias then. Last I knew all those rewrites were his job.

I thought any DM could edit the post? And can I ask why Maias, when Disco was the one who made the post?

It doesn't matter. We don't play NWN anyway. We play Amia ;)

Where's the lock button? *searches*

Because, again AFAIK, Maias was the one who volunteered to rewrite them all to add everything and make it up to date.
