That's not actually a bad idea. It maybe could use some tweaking, but I think the idea has merit and is worth exploration. My own little piece. There is a "mainstream" MMORPG which attracts millions of followers (which shall remain nameless) that sometimes doesn't have bad ideas. One of t...

While I do not appreciate your comment beforehand over a mistake I made, I do think I might be wrong in this case. For various reasons I will not go into, I have been, and am still particularly grumpy. I mean no offense, I just get tired of people arguing of semantics and every letter of a rule. I'...

You cannot change yourself with Veil. Uhh. Just for the record, I'd like to know what smoke you've been cracking. I'll quote Veil for you: Illusion (Glamer) Level: Brd 6, Sor/Wiz 6 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Targets: One or more creatures, ...

I will not delete my above post because I still continue to stand by my belief on how Polymorph works. However, I'd like to clarify a few things: 1) Polymorph in 3.5 is significantly different than in 3.0. It has been changed and updated so many times it is practically unusable, as it is way too pow...

I have been playing D&D quite regularly since 3rd ed came out. In 3.5, polymorph has been changed so many times it is almost unrecognizable. Polymorph is not meant to be used (Alone) to disguise yourself as someone else. The key lies in the quote that keeps getting thrown around: The character c...

On sort of a same note, I'd like to see a significant experience increase in the amount you get when your character goes on a bender. I really think that it helps to flesh out the character when you are completely and totally trashed, and therefore you should get significantly more experience than y...

From what I have seen in bugging the code and working with Mask on some small segments of it, this codebase has almost nothing that's recognizable as base Smaug anymore. As I said, speculation only. I truly love FK and admire all of the work that has been done to change it from the carbon copy stoc...

I shouldn't have to log six years of my life in real time on a game to get level 35 much less 50. It took me three months to get Arothian to level 20 as a priest. I did have a lot of help. :) Granted, I don't have ANY characters above level 35.. but you see my point. Arothian is 26 I think, Rahanar...

First: This entire post is going to be semi-informed SPECULATION. I repeat: Informed SPECULATION ONLY . That said.... I have played, and been an immortal on several SMAUG code based muds in the past. I know that FK is heavily modified, but is originally based on SMAUG code. These are two things that...

Random name generators never really suited me. My key way of creating a name is to think of how I want the character to act. Then, think of something that sounds "fitting" to the character. As for the Adjective generator.... I think it's fun trying to think up new ways to make people look ...

I have to agree. The XP system is a real drag to those of us who don't have the patience or interest to go and grind on the same thing, over and over, until you gain a level, and then go out and do it all over again to get experience to train the skills at that level. I have both of my characters si...

It is understandable that you may have a bit of frustration with not getting an answer to your post. I think it may not be that people are shunning you, or anything like that. There may not be an answer, at this point. Code is a strange and powerful thing. It sometimes works. It sometimes doesn't, a...

Just my thoughts on stealing from PCs. Take it as you will, but I'm going to be very blunt on how I feel about this topic. I can't really even believe this is being considered. In my opinion, there is only one thing that allowing PCs to be stolen from will do: Piss off players that have things stole...

Arothian looks like Richard Dean Anderson, but not from Stargate SG-1... rather from when he was MacGuyver :)

The best picture that's been found so far is:

So... MacGuyver!

[Trade] Glassblowing

After a little adventure in watching people cook, I thought of the idea that Glassblowing would be a very neat addition to the game as a trade. :)
