Don't forget the Eyebeast. Another case where the luster of Ghaldring's faction diminishes by a lot.

Leveled up. More HP, points in Evocation, and switching out Burning Hand for Ice Spray. Click to reveal.. Name: Kurex Occupation: Travelling Mage Alignment: Magnificent Bastard Race: Human Deity: Imaunte Strength: 4 Dexterity: 3 Intelligence: 4 HP: 12/12 (+4) Magic (Evocation): 6 (+2) Martial (Sword): 2 Artifice: 2 Diplomacy: 2 Streetwise: 1 Stealth: 1 Perception: 1 Spells: Light (evocation): Creates a small hovering orb of light, or causes an object to glow softly Ice Spray (evocation): Shoots a cloud of sharp ice particles at a target. Somewhat better than Magic Missile. Magic Missile (evocation): Fires a bolt of energy at the target Stun (evocation): Fires a powerful energy pulse at the target, knocking them off balance and stunning them. No damage. Also, quick mechanics question. If, say, I have 15 HP, and 4 Str. If I level up, and add a point to Str, would I receive +4 HP or +5? In other words, is newly added strength factored into calculations of HP?

It would be too destined to be like Lord of The Rings, since that's what it's based on, more or less. Well, with Jeff's talent, you never know. I'll wait and see. Whatever this new game will be, I'm pretty much certain that it will be great. The lack of operatic knowledge makes my head wince. Wagner's Ring cycle was based on Norse mythology, and written during the 1800's. LOTR was totally not based on WWII, not in the slightest, at all. Period. Ever. And it was written a century later. So no, there is no correlation between the two whatsoever.

You have to draw the gazer out of the room where it summons stuff.

I've never tested it by accessing it work, I just edit via iphone/itouch when I want to check it at work. Because I'm paranoid like that.

Your Type is ENTJ Extroverted 33 Intuitive 75 Thinking 88 Judging 33 These personality test are ********, just for your future reference.

Originally Posted By: I need no introduction the next game will be interesting, not sure how jeff will fit a story-line into it. He's quite good at that, actually. In case you haven't noticed.

Originally Posted By: Lilith i too am surprised that jeff would move to more of a class-based system given that one of his explicit goals when making exile 1 was to not do that but i guess it's been a while since exile 1 *cough*Geneforge*cough*

Eugh. Why is it that you all (vouz) will never cease to use abominable French when the opportunity presents itself? Okay, fine. G1 est le meilleur. (I think what Slarty said was "It is G1 the best", as opposed to "G1 is the best". Then again, I have two decades of dust on my French skills)

I choose Salt Golem

I would recommend starting with Mort, as the first few books in the Rincewind series, COM, LF, and Sourcery, are not really reflective of his current writing style, which began with Mort. That said, his Death miniseries (Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time) are his best.

I saved after looting it thinking everything would be ok since i didnt set off any traps and nobody saw me steal. some shop keepers dont like you running thru there store and unlocking doors, they see you enter, get pissed off.... i imagine thats what happend. To which store owner(s) are you referring? I don't remember any in the Geneforge series that wouldn't sell to me because of stealing or unlocking doors in their shop. I would guess the owner(s) in question wouldn't deal with you because you were a part of or sympathized with an opposing faction. I could be remembering incorrectly though. That's Avernum 5, there is a shopkeeper who will not buy your mined crystals if you rob his store. He's in the Drake Pillars, IIRC.

Originally Posted By: Niemand I've also been working on reading The Fountainhead, which is a stunningly pointless book. This is true. There have been complaints it was a stunningly plagiarized book, too.

Originally Posted By: Ephesos Legends say that one of Chamulsep's unholy vassals took up residence in the swamps of Risia.

I figure if one of those guys set up the Temple, it might be to our advantage to know which one did, and thus plan accordingly. Besides, who says that the snippets can't be itty bitty spoilers?
