Vista/ATI Spell effect glitch-rectangles

Hello everyone,
After all this time, I suddenly had the chance to play the game. However, fate has spinned her webs.

I played a bit and at some point faced a group of Cranium Rats, which can cast spells when in rather large numbers from what I understand. The thing is, the spells show as weird ...

Jan is definitely my favorite hero. Never had a game w/o him in party I guess!
First, he is a good character, with his equipment, he has very nice thieving abilities (save for traps but tell me, which eccentric gnome mage/thief uses traps? Bah!), his own quotes are fun (I can't, I'm allergic... well ...

Paralysis/Critical Immunities.. PM Broken?

Hey guys. Palemaster guy again. Got the exp and installed (no patches on both, I thought the expansion installation would cover patches <.<) and made a wizard/palemaster/EK. I had full ten levels of PM so I am supposed to be immune to criticals, paralysis, stuns etc. However, in Shadow Veil, in the ...

Yes. You better be sure to have a high AC (or other good defensive means) as a spellcaster in MOTB. That means wizard/sorcerer is probably a bad idea...

For caster AC, improved mage armor helps. In MotB, there is probably the epic mage armor spell as well (it exists in P&P at least).

In OC EK ...

Depends on how you'll use him I guess.
Every two points of charisma->better smite, more heal with LoH and better TU
I guess it could be more effective to use TU charges for divine feats and let more hit points compensate for a li'l loss of healing and saving throws.

So if it's powerplaying, I'd ...

before all, im not good with rules actually. i keep forgetting and confusing stuff :p

about haste, I think it gives a partial action, so you can't cast two spells in the same round.

about permanency, afaik, it's perma-active. however, it's like you just cast the spell. if you don't concentrate ...

Serial of Bugs, help appriciated [Possible Spoilers for Act II-III]

I searched around the forum a bit, but couldn't find anything.

My first problem is, my party turned psycho. They pick a seemingly random member and beat him/her to death. This first happened to Qara in Old Owl Well, my members would attack her till she's dead. I thought it had something to do with ...

Two times come to my mind where Kana isn't there.
First, when you talk to her about a special mission. She leaves after saying she'd deal with it.
Second, (spoiler->) if you allied with shadow thieves, axle sends some men against you and in that event, Kana isn't there.

It could be that there was ...

Let Cassivir do the tanking as much as possible. The key is his Divine Shield feat. Also, use Bishop and Casivir to buff, they have spells like Cat's Grace and Bull's Strength (well, if you are playing with them you prolly already know, but some people miss out ranger-paladin spellcasting becouse ...

I think it was something I read from 2E times, I'm not even sure..
I just had liked the idea that the demon blood drove mortals crazy, but I didn't know much about D&D then, so I prolly misunderstood =)

And, Neeshka is my favorite tiefling ever. Plus I want to marry the person who vocalized her.

I'd really love to hear some feedback on this (e-mail is best for me). This, we created with a player of mine. We aren't very deep on rules and playing a 3e-3.5e mix of rules. This is mostly based on 3E.

Infravision/Darkvision/Low-light vision- Do they work in CRPGs?

Heya,
I always wondered something. In Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights series, do super-sight abilities or spells work? Somehow? I mean, there is never a place where your character can't see at night.. or is there? There is never a mathmetical explanation (like, say, characters ...

As a DM, I'm pretty happy to have Smite Metagamer class skill, however whenever a DM metagames or support it, a kobold bard dies in a texas-chainsaw-massacre way. So do not do it.

Please.
