Things not working

[bhale187]

simply answer is don't attack someone until you know they are in range, and if someone attacks you defend yourself. If they started an attack on you and they are not in range it would be them in violation.

yust a littel back on the remort thing.
I would like ot mention that the SR thig is working (as Ael sad)
There are still problems with camera but that happens every so often,
The log off log on rutine to talk to that paylon is not working because my char is to busy with remorting itself to have time to talk to the object (but I found a way around it:P).

To fix your camera without (sometimes multiple) relogs, change your camera type to something else, then back. For instance I switch to driving mode then back. Works a treat.

My Aasimar was working fine until the last reset, but now my toon doesn't even admit to being one and has lost its spell resistance and elemental soak.

My remort is back to human status again too. I'm also missing my higher level feats as well.

Hey guys, nice to see y'all again:) And yes Thanos that was me, not some cruel trick hehe. Good to see some familiar faces still on here. But anyhoot, while doing the Last vestige quest, i was in arkanis and saw the brazier. So I went down the hole, died, and tried to get back in there to get my corpse. after dying several more times and trying to get down the hole(unsuccesfsfully) quite a few times I assumed this was a bug, as if not that's kinda harsh. Anyhoot, the main things i kinda miss that i lost were the epsilon rune, honor guard, crusader's sallet, and militia cloak. the other crap i could care less about, but if some friendly DM could hook me up with my lost items , i'll love you long time. Der Duskbringa!

Is the stone effigy for the dark precursor supposed to dissapear cause it is once again not there

[Tony654]

Since when did scrolls have a DC? I tried to use a darkfire scroll today just to find out it had a DC of 28.

[Tempus]

Scrolls have a UMD check of the spell level +25 (so 28 for a level 3 spell). This was added with the January 1st wipe.

[Dethklok]

Hahahaha...wait, really?

So now we need 25 levels of bard, rogue, or assassin to use a level three scroll? Please explain the reasoning behind this.

And i think you mean the Feb 1st update, i could use scrolls just fine before.

[Tony654]

Does the use of wands require UMD? The same character that failed his UMD roll for scroll use, in fact he was informed that it was impossible and told "don't try to use a scroll again until you come back with serious UMD, chuckle head" (I'm pretty sure that was a quote), was able to use a wand without a UMD roll.

And since we're using UMD on scrolls now, why oh why don't we restrict rez and raise scrolls as well? THAT'LL make clerics a tad bit more important, I'll tell ya that much. Yes indeedy.

If I recall correctly there is a on/off switch of sorts for UMD in scrolls. That switch does not effect the resurection and raise dead, it also does not effect wands.

I'm totally in favor of the UMD check and other nerfing. Why shouldn't there be one? You need more than 20 caster levels to be an effective caster, you have to have lots of melee type to be effective at hand-to-hand, so why shouldn't you have to take the weaknesses of bards and rogues to get the advantages of them? Bards and rogues have no comparable benefit by taking a single level of fighter or mage.

If we really want 'balance' here, as I've been told is a goal, we should seriously consider that all skills should be this way, class plus one-half crossclass plus 3, or class plus 3 if restricted. So far, having suggested this in another forum, I've heard from one DM who is against this and am not trying to start an argument with him but would like to hear from the others, and from the players.

Good points especially on the aspecct of a rogue or bard taking 1 level of fighter. A rogue/bard taking 1 level of fighter gets better weapon, armor, shield and a free feat-in the grand scheme of things hardly a comparison to the availability of any spell via scroll. Now mage on the other; if you take 1 level of wiz/sorc you get the ability to cast any of that class spells via scroll.

Personally I see the middle ground of munchkin vs pure breed as the best way to go. I.E. don't total deny the ability to munchkin, but take away some of the benefit of munchkins while adding some benefit to the pure breeds. In the case of scrolls/UMD I think the answer is to leave the DC check for scrolls, but get rid of the Level+3 limitation on skills.

Hej.
As this is the things not woarking tread:P
I was quite suprised that thos littel buggers with whips in Arkanis (sorry forgot the name) cannot be killed. Ma spear with 43 Ab was "weapon ineffective" - so I hat run:( Their moun can be killed but the riders cannot.

as on the topic of scrolls. Acrane caster should be able to cast acrane scrools despite his umd status.
And I see that now the melee fashion trend in really comming to its peak and causing things not to work:P
