Someone please inform me what the named spells which do nothing unless they're in your journal, do? Are they requestable? Are they rewarded? Are they just placeholders in case someone wants more than two custom spells of one level?

I've always meant to ask this since my return. Anyone have a light to shed?

They're slots for custom spells afaik.

It'd be nice if they were usable :3 They sound fun!

Request a custom spell?

He's not speaking of "Unique Spell (Ranged)" and "Unique Spell (Self)", but of the other custom ones. (E.g: The Wall of Sound and this other Snowball thing.)

Are throwing axes based off str or dex?

Just tested. Methinks dex.

Meh :/ Totally makes unlimited Mighty pointless unless you are like a +2 str race with RDD

If I were to make a half-orc character that is smaller than normal, can I request the Human body type with a head that looks suitably orcish? Is that a DC request? Is it impossible? Does anyone know?

It is possible, but I don't think there are any half-orc head models available to the human phenotype, sadly. Unless the character was female, then there are two NwN standard heads, at least.

Body type changes though are possible and are 10 dcs if I recall correctly.

5 DC's with the Amarice price cut.

Excellent, thanks

Tenser's Transformation
Casting this spell gives the caster the properties of:

• +d4 STR, +d4 DEX, +d4 CON
• Simple Weapon Proficiency, Martial Weapon Proficiency
• +1 AB per 2 caster levels to a maximum of 10
• +10 Discipline
• +d6 Temporary Hit Points per caster level
• 100% Spell Failure

This means that a character under Transformation would be able to cast stilled spells or no arcane magic at all?

No magic at all, neither arcane nor divine. It's not % failure as from armor, it's the sort of failure imposed by being Taunted, etc. Except, obviously, a higher %.

'kay!

For male human you could use: 133, 137.
For female human: 26, 27.

Others might work, depending on how much the orcish features show.

FYI this includes scrolls and wands. Potions are fine!

Also, epic spells >_> I may or may not have forgotten EMA before, went into battle, noticed, then tried casting it after already casting Tenser's. ... Thrice <_< lol

Yes, it's not the spell failure you get from wearing base 1 or above armour, it's the kind you get from Beholder eyebeams and dead magic zones, where you get the red diamond-lookin' debuff icon. Barbarians get it too.

Likely asked and answered before, but is it possible for a wizard to reskin their Shapeshange forms? IE, different colored dragon, different style construct, ect. No mechanical changes.

That would require a separate spell, as far as I know.

Anybody know of a good sourcebook for druidic magic? One that isn't Magic of Faerun.
It would be of much help to me in the long run. Please and thanks!

Spell Compendium has a bunch of spells, but they're mixed up with all the other classes. If you are looking for spells.. then this is probably the most complete list you'll find anywhere, since it's been gathered up from all the sourcebooks.

lvl 0
lvl 1
lvl 2
lvl 3
lvl 4
lvl 5
lvl 6
lvl 7
lvl 8
lvl 9

Also I warmly recommend you to get The Complete Druid Handbook. It's 2e AD&D, and though mechanics may be different, it will give you a lot of insight into the class and a lot of neat ideas and concepts for your character.

I have that handbook, and learned a lot of interesting concepts from it. Thanks for the list!

If the intended shape matches the mechanics of the form you're overriding, then it should be ok to use a skinchanger with a delayed timer. I did this for Jorah's Shade shape to override Spectre. E.g. Red Dragon could be Gold, since they're both fire breathing?

People have done so in the past for the dragon shapes.

Generic NWN question:

If I have a ranged weapon and I put more than one unlimited ammo type, will it fire both or just the one highest on the property list?

It takes the top one on the list. Unlimited ammo isn't actually on the bow, it just sets the game up to keep 99 of the "unlimited" arrows in your arrow inventory slot, and it's those that actually get fired.

Let's say I have a 1d10 ________ Arrow, can I mythal 1d6 of another element and have it stack, or will the system override it? There are arrows with multiple damage types up to two powers already.

If you have arrows with multiple damage bonuses of different types, they will all work. The mythal crafting system, however, overrides the existing damage bonus if you try to add a second.

Man I really gotta find more interesting things to do to arrows. Maybe... CALTROP arrows, an exploding jar of caltrops just go EEEEVERYWHERE and everyone is just annoyed 24/7. No? Greased arrows! Not Grease, the spell, more like "slippery" so they fumble around and are hard to load. Yeah!

There used to be grease arrows! on-hit cast spell on arrows were nixed though because of lag. AA really gets all the love with arrows anyway, beyond that it's arrows-of-the-vine or forest defenders if you're forest-y or umd-y.

I've got all the good AA arrows already, as well as one I'm not supposed to be using because of on-hit. It's not enough, though. ... It's never enough.

Keen arrows when

For the Item Spawner widget, are we able to request additional items on it for 2 DCs each once recieved or do we require a new one for more items?

Is it normal that the Skeletons in Dormenwood (Bmia, Caraigh) have +19 AB for low level area mobs?!

Heh, night-time Caraigh is dangerous. Some of those spawns are pretty powerful, yeah. Their XP is higher, of course, so it's a matter of luck on what you run into.

Since when do spawns change at night?

These ones do, and have for a bit at least. It's part of the on going plot their.

For the hold on requests that have scripted features: If the item in question can be found scripted outside of Amia, like a small feature in the PrC pack, does the hold still apply?

Fingers crossed for Amia-wide daytime/nighttime spawn variations.

Is it possible for the Counter Intimidate roll (Found in the dice widget) to be used in place of a will save against Terrifying Rage?

Wouldnt much help if it was because of the mechanics of the rage.

Howso?

Mmh, that's weird. After all the times I've been there, it's the first time I encountered them.

Khem did it too! Remember the old Lost River area? At night you would find vampires :mrgreen:

I really miss the Khem hunting grounds

What's the current month and year on the FR timeline, for Amia?

28 Hammer 1382, I think.

29th, if you're in Australia. :lol:

Thank you. Does this progress normally, and will canon events outside Amia still take place? ...or do we exist in some side canon vacuum?

Amia is set in the Forgotten Realms, and follows the setting's official history until the end of year 1373. All canon lore up to that point applies to Amia, unless the DM Team specifically states otherwise. No canon lore after 1373 applies to Amia, unless the DM Team specifically states otherwise. The Spellplague has not happened, gods have not died, Myth Drannor has not been restored, etc. The current state of some unfinished business is described at the end of the timeline.

Mind that the timeline is somewhat outdated and there are a few outright mistakes pending correction, but on hold due to in-game events affecting time and history.
