Sun Elf questions:

1) Can a player pick and of the canon Sun Elf houses without a request?

2) Does being in a house mean you are a noble, and subsequently need a request, or can you be in a house and not have noble status?

3) Is High Magic restricted to wizards, or are sorcerers able to tap into that as well?

edit: added a q!

1. + 2. Technically you can be part of a house without being a noble. Namely by being a servant and the like. You then however do not carry the house name. And it probably is tricky to find a reason to not be with those you are a servant of at least for a longer period of time. In this scenario it would only need a request if you are the servant of a very well known or famous person.

3. No PC masters High magic on Amia.

When it comes to a DC request item, if you had an item very close to what you wanted, but wanted something else added to it.... do you pay the DC price for what is already present or just the item to be added?

Example: +5 boots with +2 ability mod, and you want a feat added through a DC request. I haven't worked out the details yet of why this would be applied to boots, but... assuming I could, the DC cost to add a feat... would it be the same as a new set of boots or just to add that extra bonus?

Thanks!

Sorry that guy, I don't men to laden my question over yours but mines pretty simple and I'm living up to my player name..

Is there a way of renaming edk at all?

With DC items you generally pay for the powers on the item you are requesting, so in your example it would be Dodge, Ability+, and feat DC cost all added together. The only real benefit of having a base item is that you have a basis for your request RP, rather than RPing the creation of the entire item from scratch.

EDK: Yes, renameable via request.

I see people adding vfx to their DC requests, and though I've found things like a small list of vfx names on the net, I'd still like to be able to actually see the spectrum- I know NWN has tons. There used to be a mod in the nwvault for browsing all of them.. is there another way to view them in the toolset? I understand it freezes things so I'd have to then jump into the mod to see them probably :/

This usually is a good way to get the visual in mind, although from my experience not all of the numbers are entirely accurate, but still!

Alternatively, this module will let you brows through them IG at your leisure.

Also! Weapon VFXs are easy to view, under "Item Properties" It's got it's own little tab!

Hope this helps!

Yeah I know about the weapons, I'm looking for the vfx dm_cowsfromhell. Planning a custom explosive cow spell. Almost finished the roleplay too....

Thanks!

That sounds udderly terrifying.

O.o

I like it. I'll contribute a DC to that!

Largely outdated mod though.

Greater Dispelling is by default a level 6 cleric spell.

The Drow domain gives a cleric access to Greater Dispelling as a level 6 cleric spell.

Drow
Special Ability: Bonus Feat - Resist Poison
Spells: 2 - Clairaudience/Clairvoyance, 6 - Greater Dispel, 8 - Greater Planar Binding

In other words, this aspect of the domain does... nothing? Is this an oversight? A typo? Am I failing to understand some mechanical thing?

That's actually pretty amusing. Unfortunately it would seem to do nothing, yes.

Haha, that's hilarious. I'm guessing it's supposed to be at 5 XD

Looking for an image source of the Cordor flag, and coming up a bit short. Anyone got a link offhand?

I've seen the occasional item with the spell "Unholy Blight" on it, if I remember correctly. What does it do?

Do you mean Evil Blight?

Yep, thanks!

A certain vendor sells them.

This may or may not belong here but whyyyyyyy is there not a magic shop in Winya? You'd think the elves would have one, heh.

Likely because the mage tower never was finished >.<

Blasphemy! Plop those NPCs in!

I get it, though! Then again, Kohl doesn't even have a decent mage shop and they got their tower finished, lol.

Craft Wand costs nowhere near it is supposed to cost according to either the Amia forum or the nwn wiki: which both list it as CL (of the wand) x innate level x 750. The cost I get is around a 5k difference each time. I'd love to know the actual formula Amia uses and then have someone edit the modified feats page to reflect it?

Wand: (CL x innate level x 750 x .75)

Potion: (CL x innate level x 50 x .25)

Which condenses to

Wand: (CL x IL x 562.5)

Potion: (CL x IL x 12.5)

But it's really easier to look at the NWN wiki and just multiply the costs by .75 or .25

What's the rationale behind the Triumvir being gone but portal system, now a series of colored lamps and not at all like the old system, remaining and bearing the name? If this is something I need to find IC, ok, but it seems an odd mishymosh of "here but not here".

THANK. YOU.

And scrolls? Seems those calculations are different too, but it isn't .75

I'm not sure! I make scrolls so rarely I didn't bother mathing it out. Make a few, compare your result with what's listed on the wiki.

Your result divided by the wiki's listing gives you the discount percent Amia uses.

Make two or three, and if you get the same discount every time, you're got it figured.

The current portal lamps aren't the same as the previous system and were created ICly by PC's.

O, gotcha. Thanks!

Is there a place I can see all available heads for hins?

All heads used on Amia: http://www.jespeterson.com/heads/

Thanks !

Is that link for the heads in use different than the one on the Amia webpage?
http://www.amiaworld.net/files/heads/

I'd kinda like to see that link somewhere more easily accessible, like the links on the left. I've found myself digging it up more than a few times (it's buried in a Varia post).

Can anyone come up with a short list of Amia-specific powers and divinities? If there are spoilers or the information is not readily known, you can exclude them. So far I have:

Salandra
The Rider(replaced Baalzebul in our setting)
Feleis(local aspect of Bast/Sharess)

Secondly, are there currently any NPC Divine Oracles of the Salandran Temple? I don't think there are any PC ones still around, unless they've kept it well hidden over the years.

Ma'at and Anubis are homebrew demi-powers added after a long chain of events. Knowledge of them is largely PC-driven.

Feleis is not a thing and no longer exists.

Oh. Well that's news. Has he passed away due to lack of worship or was he absorbed back into Sharess at some point?

Besides a request, would it cost me DCs to have a different race's phenotype for a PC I may make? Like, just, elven phenotype for a human I want to represent as small. No elven ears on the head, nuttin.

For a half-elf and feytouched I think not.

If you were just a short human, I think you would need to pay the 5 dc's for it unfortunately. A half elf/feytouched can get a free one to the more appropriate size but that's it (and done due to the limitations of their implementation)

Are these (extra music and skyboxes) still being used on Amia?
The links in this thread are dead.

From the Mythal Crafting page:

Quote:

Armor, gloves, and small-medium weaponry may have a maximum of 4 benign (positive) powers. Large weaponry may have a maximum of 5 benign powers.

A longbow is a Large weapon, right? So it can have five powers? So... I've been cheating Kaithan out of a mythal slot this whole time? :oops:

I don't think so, Lizzie! I remember wondering about that before, but bows do not have the same powers as large weapons!

viewtopic.php?p=1195783#p1195783

That's both super lame, and kind of frustrating that the mythal crafting page is so misleading. "All large weapons except bows" absolutely needs to be included there.

IIRC it was left at 4 since ammuniiton gets its own slots, something non ranged users can't take advantage of. So your bow gets 4, your ammo gets 2, for a total of 6, compared to 4 for everything else, 5 for Big Stuff.

Ehrm... that's a fairly winning argument, actually.

But still, it really, really should be explained correctly on the mythalcrafting info page. Right now, it's basically lying.

Yups, if it's not there, it should get a mention.

Something that's been bugging me lately. There used to be a large shield called "Death Shield" that was sold in Shadowscape. Was it moved, or did it get eaten by the shops overhaul? I've asked around IC, but no one knows what I'm talking about. I've got one on my old shifter so I know it used to exist.

I agree, it's been added to the sidebar.

In what order does the NWN brain select which stack of arrows to pull from your inventory and move to your equipped arrow slot, when the stack you're firing from runs out?

What a fantastic question. I had always assumed it pulls the first stack available in your inventory, but I suppose I could be wrong on that. I've never paid attention.
