Chittering Clawbug Italianhitman Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 How come in some scenarios people make weapons with 125 damage, 99 bonus, and 125 defense??? Thats crazy, I can only make it to the maximum it says, 50 damage, 60 bonus, and 20 defense. How can I do that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 They're either using a modified editor or hex-editing the scenario files. Both methods are impermissible for discussion here, however, so if you wish to inquire further into this, please do it on another board.

Ineffable Wingbolt Silent Motion Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I always fail to see why people need to inflate both monster HP and weapon damage. If you have a sword that does 6HP and your fighting a Goblin with 6HP, is that really any different than a sword that does 100HP fighting a monster with 100HP? Creating godlike weapons throws most scenarios out of balance, no matter what RPG system you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Italianhitman Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 oh sorry, i just thought it there was a way in the game. I just prefer the Steel Halberd with the upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating godlike weapons throws most scenarios out of balance, no matter what RPG system you use. That's the problem; it's an arms race. To prevent other designers' weapons unbalancing his scenario, a designer has to make his weapons at least as powerful as theirs, and ramp up the monsters to match. The fundamental problem with this is that it ends up making warriors too powerful relative to spellcasters (although once the weapons get powerful enough, even spellcasters hit all the time and do as much damage in melee as warriors anyway). Or just forget about balancing your scenario relative to other people's and provide a premade party. Much simpler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Or make them enter with a level one party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Sovreign of swords Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 That works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Well pardon me asking, but is there actually a way to "force" a player to enter your scenario with a level 1 party, or do you just set the difficulty on beginner and recommend it? Probably a stupid question, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't force a level-1 party, but you CAN force a low-level party (and An Apology does). Basically you have to find a way to exploit the fact that BoE monster HP automatically increases to two or more times its original value if the player uses a higher-level party than the expected level for the scenario.

Well-Actually War Trall Ash Lael Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 However, there are also ways to block 1PC parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
