If they get no manual dexterity, they'll need to get nice creature weapons. Otherwise it would quickly turn up that they would be useless. My wraith can only barely scratch things very slowly to death, and if he ever gets swarmed he just dies if he's alone, since he's already at the point where everything has DR that he can't pierce, and doing 1-6 negative energy damage is nowhere near enough to kill anything. The DC for the con drain also seems a little low, at 12 levels of bard the DC for it is only 13.

Which ties in with the whole issue of creature weapons which i need to decide what to do about. Ill probably be working on that particular issue this week.

I'm not 100% certain, but despite the effects in the description of the Pixie Darts, they don't seem to ever actually put anything to sleep, failed save or otherwise.

Additionally, I'm assuming it is unintentional that the darts in question can be sold to vendors.

Eeeek! Yes. They should have zero value. Will fix that one ASAP.

What does it show on the dart properties? It should show an on-hit property.

Properties are as follows:

Attack Bonus +5
Material: Wood (Duskwood)
On Hit: Sleep DC=16 50% / 1 Round

I've had creatures that shouldn't be immune to mind effects fail their save and not miss a step more than a few times.

Hmm... so its recording a failed will save but then not putting them to sleep? Interesting.

I wonder, which creatures? I'm wondering if this on-hit property is calling the regular sleep spell function, which caps at level 5.... i may have to change this to fire an uncapped script.

I think i know why you can sell the darts as well. I would have set their price to zero, but as soon as the properties get added on creation it increases the value of the darts. Really should have though of that.

Well, I've used them primarily on Goblins, Orcs and Gnolls and Thralls but didn't bother testing it against Frost Giants on account of pain. :lol:

It probably should have been common sense, but don't combine Totem Barbarians with the Ancestral Weapon feat with any of the races that have the No Manual Dexterity feat. It just causes a tug of war between the two feats, endlessly looping spawning the weapon equipped, and then unequipping it.
Too many to list! So here are the ones I play a lot lately.
Barrakasra - Wraith? Bard
Kandra Blackhand - Humanish Monk of the Twin Oaks
Z'ssadra Tharress - Pureblood Green Scholar
Sskrassk - Lizardfolk Fiend Hunter

There should probably be a script that checks for the no Manuel dexterity feat added to the ancestral weapon feat either making it not available, ((easiest)) or making it do something entirely different. turns creature weapon into + keen coldiron D12 weapon that does lots of cold damage.

Doh!

Yeah, common sense, but i should have thought of that.

Creature weapons can have their material type changed, but the game engine totally ignores it.

Wait a minute! How can you sell them? They are set to being cursed! The game engine shouldn't allow it. :confused:

Would it be possible to have an option at Styx so that he turns the Undead's HD into d12? (basically give them HDx12 HP) Due to their lack of CON, the lack of HP will become a bit of an issue in the late game, when the level 20 Lich Wizard has 120 HP and the level 20 Death Knight Cleric has 160.
"From the realms below we ride,
And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

Uhh... I double click them in the vendor window and I get gold. Have sold a few on accident when clearing my inventory of garbage, and they're just getting more valuable as I level.

Have you tried with the new ones since the update today?

First I'd like to note how awesome things are looking here, and I REALLY appreciate all the hard work and dedication the dev team has put in. So I recently started back after a long hiatus and tried out a vampire. It looks like its gone through a lot of revision so I apologize if I'm stirring up old issues, or things already mentioned.

I've noticed a lot of discrepancies between the character sheet and the combat log when using the dark vampire form. I realize that there are a lot of problems concerning polymorph but I'm hoping there may be a way to address some of these.

My character sheet often reports MUCH higher AB and AC rating than I'm actually getting. Like...upwards of +10 AB so far. I'm playing a monk, so maybe it could be a weird combination of the class feats/abilities, gloves, creature weapons, and flurry of blows. I feel like its a bit odd that some class features I can use...and some I can't. I guess this is tied to the polymorph, it just seems wobbly to me.
Also, sometimes going through transitions sometimes removes the dark form bonuses. The polymorph stays but the stats, AC, AB and glowy eye effects will just be gone. The character sheet may still read the bonuses as being available, but I definitely end up getting clobbered by really low attack rolls.

This is just what I've noticed so far. Hope it helps! :)
