In the pencil & paper version of the game, the monk often seems to lag in the damage category compared to other melee types until they get past 10th level. Unfortunately, the level cap in ToEE hits just as they are about to take off.

You can have them use weapons which is what some of the previous ...

By the rules, an elf should get both long sword and long bow proficiency regardless of the class they choose. Are you sure you can't use it? Have you tried to equip it? I'm not sure that long bow will necessarily show up as a proficiency under the feats. It might show up something like Elf Weapon ...

By the 3.5 rules, Ice Storm should last 1 round. It's different from a fireball or other instantaneous damage spells in that regard. While it is in effect, anyone entering the area will take damage which is what you are seeing in the game. It also slows movement of anyone trying to move thru it ...

I think you'll find in the description for Raise Dead that you lose Xp, it's not a bug.



I know there is exp loss. The problem is he should now be 8th level. He was 9th level, just shy of 10th level, hovering around 44K (45K is 10th). He only died once and got ...

I'm not running with the Co8 patch, but I do have the newest regular patch installed. I just got Scather last night, and it seems to be a Greatsword, even though the text seems to imply it should be a Bastard Sword.

I gave Scather to my character with Bastard Sword proficiency who was equipped with ...

I fought Hedrack & company for the very 1st time last night. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, so I had my fighter/rogue scout the entire room while hidden to pinpoint the baddies. I noticed a bunch of wizards on the opposite side of the room from where the party approaches. I figured the wizards ...

My party is Neutral Good with a mix of chaotic good sprinkled in. After 36 days, I finally got the reward. I had given up, and went back to level 4 to battle Hedrack, and then on my way out (when I was totally loaded with loot), they showed up. Great timing guys. Almost all the reward items ended up ...

I'd like to know this as well. I've now waited over 20 days (approximately 22) and haven't received the reward for rescuing the prince yet.

Is there somewhere in particular I need to be wandering to have this encounter? I've tried going back'n'forth between Nulb and Hommlet mostly, but did a few ...

I agree with you again, but there are three extremely powerful normal weapons in the game, the 3 Great Cleavers.

In game terms, yes, stacking Improved Critical with Keen on the Great Cleavers seems pretty broken. I was looking at it from a 3.5 game rules basis ...

i agree with you on multiclassing spellcasters. I have only played with one once in nwn, he was a wiz with 3 lvls of fighter(wasted)


One of the only reasons I'd consider that particular multiclass combination would likely be to enter a specific Prestige Class (which ...

I tested by fireballing my own group, and the reflex saves had +3 bonuses for all 5 pc's.


I can just see the in-character dialogue leading up to this.

Wizard: "I think we should test out those cloaks to make sure they really work."

Cleric: "How do you propose ...

There was apparently a bug related to +2 and +3 cloaks not functioning properly under the original game, but the patch was supposed to fix that. If there's another bug related to this, then it's news to me.

When the item gets equipped, the saving throws for that character show up modified as ...

That's interesting. I wonder why it didn't offer me a chance to join up with them? I suspect you can only encounter them 1 time, so I've missed any chance at getting loot.

It would be really cool if the game is coded to include a chance to meet them one more time on their way back from successfully ...

I was travelling from Nulb to Hommlet and had an unusual random encounter. No, it wasn't the wandering bard. Instead, it was a pair of adventurers (IIRC, a fighter and a cleric). They claimed to be heading to loot a lost temple of some kind with a statue that had huge gems for its eyes. I was ...

* Important BTW coutesy of Mulligan: Meleny cannot cast 5th level spells in the post-patch versions we play. Just so you know.



I just ran into this last night. Meleny reached 9th level, and has an open ...

I decided to craft some items last night, and noticed that one character didn't have a cloak yet. So I had my cleric craft a +3 cloak of resistance. Problem was, she didn't have any open inventory slots when I had her do this. Oops.

I figured the game would either halt the crafting and warn me ...

There's only a few weapons with the 18-20 base crit range, and each of them has a smaller than usual die size for their weapon category. For example, the rapier is a medium weapon, but only does a d6 while most other weapons of this size do a d8. So you wind up paying a penalty on the base damage ...

I'm not sure, but if STR & DEX is same value or STR is higher than DEX maybe the game defaults to STR in the combat information ?


Just in case folks are wondering...

If the characters have STR >= DEX, then they have no business taking ...

Mulligan,

I just confirmed that you are correct. I was unaware of this change. Back in 3rd edition, these did stack, and I didn't know they changed this for 3.5. BTW, a lot of people house rule this to function as it did back in 3rd edition where they stacked, and even some of the designers like ...

Hi Kalendraf :)

There seems to be much confuision about this


The confusion was new to me when I started reading this board. I'm a long-time player and very fluent with the 3.5 rules set. It took me a while to find the "official" ruling on this though, since as ...
