MOB weapon

Post by Shabanna » Tue Aug 13, 2013 8:33 pm

Pretty sure a Mace with the SYmbol of the Bitch Queen...is not standard issue for a Priestess of Tymora. XD

The priestess of Tymora is in perfect health.
the priestess of Tymora is using:
<worn as armour> steel light mail
<left hand> a pale steel light shield (perfect)
<right hand> a pale steel light mace embossed with a forked wave (perfect)

This was seen on the priestess of Tymora in the Waterdeep Tower of Luck.

Though minor, this looks systematic:
(4509) A priestess of Tymora is here.
<right hand> (162) a pale halfspear embossed with a silver scroll (perfect)

(8183) A priestess of Tymora is here playing a game of chance.
<right hand> (162) a steel light mace embossed with a skull and crossbones (perfect)

(5515) A priestess of Lathander awaits the dawn service here.
<right hand> (162) a turquoise titanium long sword encrusted with seashells (perfect)

(632) A priest of Garl is ready to heal any wounds here.
<left hand> (163) a silver-crested emerald-green light shield with a forest green trim (perfect)

(4901) A priest of Malar stands here.
<left hand> (163) a steel light shield decorated with silver coins (perfect)
These look to be automatically drawn from a table and renamed, or something along those lines.

I believe that most mobiles with weapons will now draw from a table of random weapons. Not so much a bug but a vast random selection much like rmi. Personally, I don't see it as counter to mobile rp.

Yes, these are all randomly generated weapons on almost every single humanoid (and some demi-human) MOB in the game. There is no control based on what they end up looking like. This is a minor detail.

Correct, these weapons are sourced from a random table. Once upon a time I offered to build Mask a table that reflected choices based upon race, class, and alignment; sufficed to say, I never followed through and that got lost amid some other projects.
