Duality

I always cast protective spells I'll go back and try to isolate one at a time, I was just afraid I had a badly built character or something. Oh, and is there any particular reason you can't forge shields? I find it kind of irritating. -Duality

I'm playing an Infiltrator as a hardcore rebel (almost no pro-shaper quests at all) and I just (finally) finished off Monarch. So I went up to Burwood, south road and *BAM* two wingbolts wipe out my entire party..... Whaaaaa......? Sure, Monarch was hard, but he wasn't THAT hard! I'm level 28, I have a Cryoa that's been with me since almost the begining and a Drayk that I made not that long ago. She's mainly melee with decent spell casting. I've cleared out almost every area (except the shaper gamma thingy) and have fairly good gear but this is insane, I'm way out of my league. Did I miss something? Was there another section I should have gone through? -Duality

I'm just curious if there are any plans to update Blades of Avernum to UB? It just tried it out on my new intel iMac and it runs very slowly. Painfully slowly, even with sounds and background noises disabled. Oh yeah, and Avernum 4 wont even launch, and when I tried to download the demo as a test, my computer told me it was an OS 9 app. (I don't care particularly, just thought I'd let you know)

Wow. I believe so, I was amazed when I got 544 health, 129 energy at the end of a battle, but that's insane!

There's no one in the castle to report that you did all the tests to? It says that they were set up by the castle after all..... The 6th test is somewhat easier because the wolves don't attack you on the first round, and then they help you. If you had to fight them AND the demons it might actually have been harder. As it was, it was way to easy for where it is in the game.

Falchion of evasion is in the tunnels to rentars fortress, on a party of brainburned adventurers. (thought I'd put that in since you don't have the location and I just found it) And the moon-eye girdle is on the eye beast that guards a bridge in the same area the crystalline plate is in the castle treasury.

No, I store each different type in a different box. Why do people insist on refering to themselves in the third person? It's somewhat.... bizarre.

This is nitpicking, but if you reposte a spined enemy, you don't take damage from the spines on the reposte

Icedrake Vampbraces: 4% armor 5% stun resistance -5% chance to hit 8% cold resist Found on Kolchiss the drake in rentars lair Quicksilver Sandals: 2% armor +1 action point -2 strength Worgskin Cloak: 7% armor Both found in rentar's crypt And Snipers Vest: 4% armor +1 Dexterity +2 Sharpshooter Found on a body on your way in to rentars lair, just nw of the three pillars guarding a book of icy rain/lightning spray. Shadow Band: +1 parry +1 gymnstics +1 defense And no idea where I got it. Don't forget the absurd Gazerskin Sandals: 20% armor +10% stun resistance +10% hostile effect resistance Flowing Cloak: 2% armor +1 parry +1 quick strike Treated Carapace: 10% armor 10% poison resistance Ivory Band: (there might be more of these) 2% armor 15% mind effect resistance I may actually have to play through and find where these items are.... Oh yes, and can someone ban the imbecile who posted below me?

I did get the key from fort remote, but the door it opened only seemed to lead to some spell books. Charging forward blindly killing everything that moves might work, but I made it this far without killing a single pylon Just out of curiosity, how DO you kill those pilons? They keep freezing my characters......

Ok, so Houghten got knocked off, and I went off to fort remote to kill Rentar-Ihnro. I meandered my way through all those freakin pylons (gah do I hate those things) without ever needing to kill one of them, but know I'm stuck. I found the 4 vahanatai who are supposed to "retrieve" rentar, but I can't figure out where to go. I'm near a bridge with a eye-beast on it. Suggestions?

Actually, a bunch of those aren't unique, there are at least 4 woven silk robes in the game, grounded cloak also appears multiple times. The item shop sw of for Saffron gives a ruby amulet as a reward. You posted shielding knife twice There are multiple armor rings as well, and at least two girdles of genius (some both my mage and my priest are wearing one, but who knows where I got them) Since you can make as many blessed breastplates as you have ingrediants, I wouldn't consider them unique either. Anyone know if there are multiple mercuric leathers? I know I found a mercuric chain somewhere as well. And Ginth? the bandit has a frozen sword, which I believe is unique, but slightly better then the flame sword.

Acutally, there are two incantors rings, once if found in a crypt (I have no idea where I found it though, south of the castle I think) guarded by a golem

Actually, I saw him chug 6 speed potions per round without casting terror on him. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. Made him a heck of a lot easier to fight though. I will say that the AI in A4 is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. If an enemy sees one of your characters far away, it runs towards them until it runs out of movement points, usually stopping right next to my fighters so they get a round of free hits before it gets to move again. (considering it's inability to work together or make even moderately intelligent choices, I'd believe he wrote it in 5 minutes while drunk)
