Before I even try to make a request for it, which I am sure would take a very good story and a ton of RP behind it*not to mention if its acceptable balance wise*, is there a way to script something like what a frenzied beserker does on NWN2. Meaning, I would use my rage as a barbarian to inspire a rage in party members?

Sounds like a KC aura tbh.

I never thought about it like that, though my barbarian at this point in time lacks the charisma in my opinion to be a KC it does bring up some interesting options.

Yep possible.

I'm not sure Charisma would necessarily be required in that case (other than any mechanical requirements I'm not sure of). To borrow an example from a Salvator book (ooo, hiss!

) Pwent and his dwarven Gutbuster brigade... I'm sure Pwent had fairly low CHA, but his sheer ferocity inspired those around him.

Agreed, that would be my whole point, now that I know its possible maybe I will try for it.

We can make it an aura or a pulse effect if that helps you with the request roleplay.

I was more mentioning KC for taking KC levels

but yes something custom could be done with a request.

No, I see your point with taking KC for it. I will have to change my build up a bit but I see some RP routes I can take now, though still the balance of it worries me.

I certainly don't speak for the staff, but I don't think a "Mass Blood Frenzy" aura would be too bad, balance-wise, especially if you take a feat for it. Fortunately, amia customized the spell, so it can be set at the appropriate caster level for a buff amount considered appropriate.

Aye, but also it wouldn't need to be based exactly on the blood frenzy spell or one of the barbarian rages. We can make it with any positive and negative properties that get approved.

You'll never get deathless frenzy.

Yeah, I wasn't even going to try for deathless, I was just thinking the generic rage.

I don't think a generic mass temp rage would be an impossible request, from a scripting or an approval standpoint. It' make most sense for KCs, barbarians or more fighter-oriented bards imo.

I'd assume this "rage" would do like adds to AB/saves/etc? We've approved group buff custom spells that do that before.

I have another "is it possible" question.

im very new to the server so bear with me if this is a silly question to even bring up.
I was thinking about making a nymph like character. And wondered if it is possible to play "Half-Nymph".
Im not that well known to lore and RP rules in general, but I would assume that playing a nymph is out of the question without some special DM approval.

I would create is as feytouched (that means they have fey blood in them right?)
And i cant find anywhere where it states how far out that blood came from..

Kind Regards.

I'm pretty sure a half-nymph would still require a request. As do half-dragons, half-celestials, etc. That said, yes, it's possible with a very good request.

Our subraces section wrote:

The fey are known for their curiosity (some would say obsession) with humanoids and giants, and sometimes a fey falls in love with one of these creatures. The creatures known as feytouched have a half-fey and a humanoid or a giant as ancestors.

Yup, needs a request.

I thought I answered this yesterday?...

Another request test:

Is it possible to ask for a name changer widget that toggles between different pre-set character names or does this as was put forward as a concern mess up the character files?

That would mess up a lot of things. Database, your character file, and you need to be booted every time. First and Last name fields will cause this to happen twice.

Its best left to the DMs to do it the few times we will.

Closest possible would be a widget that sets you cutscene invis (which hides your name from the tab thing) and spawns another npc beside you that looks like you, follows you around and looks in the direction you're looking. It could have any name you want, and we could make it copy the appearance of the clothes you have on at the moment, but would have no gold and 1 hp, and you couldn't possess it or fight with it or anything. You could still speak and be heard, but the chat log would show your real name.

Also it sounds like something that wouldn't get approved.

This

Even though it's a neat idea.

I'll just make use of the bio then to add a disclaimer.

I also have one question!

Is it possible to make a feat that does pretty much the same as Canny Defence in NwN 2, ie: add int mod to shiled AC if off hand is empty, char wears only light or no armour and a light and/or finessable weapon is wielded in the main hand?

We can make a widget that does that. Activate it each reset like the glowing eyes widget.

But to shield, AC, or will it be dodge?

It can be made to any of the 5 ac types, shield included. It could keep checking if you have a shield on as well as the type of robes or armor, plus the other conditions.

Mind that Daydreaming's "we can do it" doesn't translate into a DM "It's approved". He is not a staff member and not qualified to make those decisions.

Aye indeed, just saying it's technically possible.

I'm aware of that, I only wanted to know if it was even possible before I start putting effort in a character that might qualify for such a thing.

Oh, i have a new "is it possible question"!

Is there a way to make a shield invisble? Ie: so you can still have the illusion of being a one-handed fencer without gimping yourself completely?

Only by adding null models to the hak, like the null cloak.

And such models could be made aviable on approved request, yes?

For the cloak models? They're already in, just change the cloak model to 20 or around there.

For shields, it would require a hak update, and I believe in the last hak discussion in GD the team said they didn't want to add more null models.

I believe the discussion is buried in the original hak thread: http://www.amiaworld.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=43719

IMO, if you want to use a shield, use a shield

It's more that you ahve this awesome fencing style in the ACP that just doesent look that hot with a shield. And not using a shield, well, that is suicide. Good looking, but still suicide.

http://www.amiaworld.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=56922

If you want to look cool, don't wear the shield. I doubt very much any PC would choose looking cool while fencing over protection though.

Use a small shield? It looks decent with the fencer ACP style. The more subtle large shields don't look bad either. Towers look terrible.

If you're not using a big piece of wood or metal on your arm, you don't get the AC like you would. It's like null helmets imo. If you want to look neat, sacrifice practicality.

Quick is It Possible Question

Is it possible to Request a Full Blooded Minotaur Char
Or Half Minotaur?

Already seen in one of the Modules (Shadowguard)
That Minotaurs can sorta be Normalized

Probably something like +4 STR +2 CON but lacking -4 CHA and -2 INT and WIS?

With a good special race request it is possible to play such a race. However you'd need to pick one of the races/subraces already existing. There won't be any special custom stats for that character if the special race gets approved. You'd likely want one of the races with a str and/or con bonus for that though.

You could not grab any mechanical template besides those for any Amian race outlined in the subraces tab. Aside from that though, actually RPing the race is a case by case request basis of course.

Ninja'd.

'Ello. I have another question, if you don't mind.

I've never liked how shields look, so is it possible (by a request), that a toon's "Shield Proficiency"-feat would be removed and perhaps substituted with another feat? I mean, is it mechanically possible or would it just come back if I level up again?
Let's pick fighter as an example. If I level up will the feat come back or is it only given on the first level? I believe that it will come back if I choose a new class which gains the feat, like Paladin or Ranger.

Even though running around without a shield is suicide...

To elaborate!

It would be mechanically possible via the use of LETO, but it's been the server's consistent and long-standing policy that this sort of character manipulation isn't done, ever. My understanding is that the folks in charge of that sort of decision don't want to open that particular Pandora's box.

Makes sense. Just didn't see anything restricting it with a really quick look.

Thanks for the replies.
