Xyx, I agree that since we have maybe a year to kill, it owuld be best if we kinda stay loose as far as our ideas and thoughts about what we want to do once the game is released. There may be things we thought we could do, that won't be possible, and there may be things we hadn't even thought of that will be in the game.

As far as how we pass the time... I would be up for some multi player Baldur's II if anyone is interested. Never played multi before, and the only free time I really have is on the weekends. It'll give us all a chance to game together and get to know each other a bit better. That will obviously lead to us coming up with more ideas and topics of interest for the guild.

Hola, Garcia!

Not sure how you can get it on Gamebanshee, but I think to get it on the Guild site you should send it to Xandax. He's the mastermind behind the site. He may still be on vacation though.

Uhm.. does anyone know how spellcasting will be handled in NWN? In D&D3, people act in sequence and cast spells instantly. No disruption, unless you are hit by area damage or attacks of opportunity. What about those? What about material spell components?

I think i read an article that said that for the most part you will not have to worry about spell components. It would become too tedious to manage your regular inventory with the addition of managing spell component inventory. but, it sounded like they hadn't ruled out certain spells needing a component... for instance, if a spell required a skull of an ogre, along with other items, you'd just have to have the skul and the engine assumes the other items. That's just an example, but that's the impression I got.

No disruption, unless you are hit by area damage or attacks of opportunity.

If true, that's some pretty messed up junk...

Correction: No disruption, unless hit by continuous damage or attacks of opportunity. Like when your pants are on fire.

But, seriously, that was my BG2 solo pre-combat buff sequence. More than half of it is handled by the script.

Well mageling, ye can only kill with offensive spells, unless ye plan on hitting some with ye staff
</IC>

I don't have a combination, I useally just load up on MM and acid arrows.
That's why I'm gonna play an Abjurer now, so I can learn to use some defensive spells.

Guten Tag my fellow mages!

Been swamped at work the past week so I have not been around much, but I just wanted to let you all know I am still alive and kicking over here.

Welcome back Xandax!

<IC>
Aye, so our glorious leader is still among the living?

Well, I buff up like that, then cast Mislead, go Berserk and bash everything to death with Melf's and the Flail of Ages while they chase my decoy.

Yes... barely alive these days! UGH!

What have I missed out on around here? Did anyone bother turn reverse the polymorph spell on my girlfriend over there so I DON'T have to take a newt home with me tonight?

*whistles innocent* - Polymorph?? - don't know anything about no polymorph BTW wasen't it a squirel

<IC>
Aye, it seems our treehugging friends have made a home for themselves.
