@Abdel:
I just got an idea for something else to call them.

Boots of "Butt Kicking for Goodness"
.
.
.
On occasion, when the wearer is hit, the boots will automatically guide his foot to the posterior of his attacker, administering a swift kick of "justice".
.
.
.
Not usable by:
Evil characters

This would be perfect pair of boots for Minsc. If you guys don't make it, I will. (For personal use only, of course; I don't have the patience to mess with all of that WeiDU stuff.)

 

I'll make a suggestion (i think i made one before but....)

Cloak of The Big Green Guy
This cloak is enchanted SERIOUSLY! It was enchanted by a Necromancer named The Big Green Guy. No one knew what his real name was though. People say this cloak is evil and some people say this cloak is good. C'mon WEAR IT ALREADY!

STATISTICS:

CURSED
+2 To All Saving Throws
-2 AC Penilty
Wearer is Hasted
Wearer Regenerates 1HP every 6 Seconds
-3 To ALL STATS
Can Cast Bolt of Glory 3/Day
-5 HP

Anyone Can Use This item.

 

Boots of Butt-Kicking for Goodness =

How do you kick a beholder in the butt? (For example.)

 

You don't kick a Beholder, the Beholder kicks you! ANyways You kick the Beholder at the bottom (which i suspect is its butt)

 

No, you kick it in the posterior (the back). It's like a backstab, but with a boot! For a beholder, it'd be like getting kicked in the back of the head.

 

You'd probably get "Boot ineffective"

 

Hmmm... How would one go about making the 'boots of idiot removal'? You can't even script an invis monster to summon, and deal extra dmg. to mobs with less intelligence than 10, as Intelligence, afaik, isn't in the IDS files.... Any suggestions

I could maybe have the boots deal extra dam. vs. all mobs that has less than 10 int, but this would be somewhat restricted ( I would also have to deal extra dam. vs. named creature types with a higher int score, and the 25% chance +3 int when hit, wouldn't do jack damage-wise - i.e. I would still deal the 5 extra damage).

 

but beholder's still got to get rid of the "waste" where does it go? or rather where does it come out?

 

Beholders are abberations; where do you think all those magical rays come from? Probably they just metabolise it into their bodies.

 

Guys and girls alike.

Sorry to be a , but I would prefer if you guys at least to some degree kept your replies on-topic...

 

what about a small beholder that could be used as a cannon and shoot beholder "rays"? sort of like jan jansen, it could be a crossbow like weapon, with special ammo

 

Arh, Gilden. I didn't quite read your reply thoroughly enough the first time. This hammer *is* wieldable by non-dwarves, which is the entire point about making it! Non-dwarves should rightfully have a throwing hammer they could use too...

 

When should we expect the mod to hit the streets?

 

Oli's lookin for a beta to be released sometimne next week, but that may change. PM him if you want to try it

 

Thanks for the update Olimikrig, and good to hear the hammer you envisage is usable by non-dwarves.

As for my bit about making the hammer wooden and allowing Druids to use it, I'm not even sure it is technically possible to do that. I don't know enough about what you can and cannot do in this area.

 

Gilden, it might be possible to make it "look" wodden, by changing item colours. This will however not be a top-priority by far, as we have more important things to look into first...
However I am planning on fiddling some with item colours when the mod has been fully tested and is gtg

 

@Gilden:
You can make any item usable by any class or kit when creating or editing it, but the problem remains that you cannot give a druid the Warhammer proficiency without SK. So while a druid would be allowed to use the hammer, he couldn't be proficient. So a Druid using it would get the -3 THAC0 penalty, and an F/D would get -3 to THAC0, -2 to damage, and -1/2 atks/rd when compared to possible specialization. Likewise, the same stuff would happen with a mage, thief, or M/T...

Make it a quarterstaff! It could be classified as a one-handed quarterstaff (like the staff-mace), and so usable by all, but it could still have the throwing hammer look and abilities. Or, you could have a specific Druid throwing hammer that gives them * in Warhammer while equipped. (I think that's possible.)

 

I can only make the desciption icon, ground icon and incentory icon resemble a quaterstaff. The papaerdoll has to look like a war hamme, otherwise the game will crash if a make it a throwing hammer projectile

What could be done is to change the looks of the warhammer with photoshop, and then add an equipped effect to make the weapon look brown.

The photoshop part would requirre some work, so one could go for a club or some such instead.

I would also have to change the item description from that of an regular WH to something special (wodden WH aren't seen all that often ya know )

it is

 

How 'bout, instead of the "Dwarven Thrower" hammer, you actually make the "Dwarf Thrower" (as refered to in one in one of th Dwarven Thrower item descriptions). It looks like a Dwarven Thrower, but when a dwarf tries to use it, they go flying instead (maybe it casts a wing buffet on the dwarf?). Don't know if there's a way to trigger this in IE...

Any thoughts about naming these items after BoM regulars? Would be especially funny if they were also inside jokes on SPers... Like the "paper thin knife" could be called "[SPer's] Razor of Paper-Thin Retorts", and could be credited to an SPer who's known for winning debates not through the strength of argument but from posting weaker arguments again and again until their opponent gives up in frustration... (Actually, more than one SPer likely fits that bill... )
