    :rolleyes: (Big waste of an item thread; should've made a new topic in the D&D forum)

    Maybe I'm just being a dumbass, but I couldn't find Bion in the Adventurer's Mart! He's supposed to be near the back of the store, right?

    That doesn't mean I didn't try it out, though. I summoned Bion with the CLUAConsole and went to Taluntain's store. Looks like everything is where it's supposed to be, other than me not finding Bion. By the way, the thing that happens after you insult Taluntain (not that I would ever do so normally, I just wanted to see what happened) is the funniest thing ever.

    I think that Magpie ment the rear end as in "the point farthest (or at the farther end) from the Adventures Mart"; or something along those lines. He is at (x3000, y2000) Just above the snakes cage, below the circus tent, I'm sure you'll find him there ;)

    But surely the 'on hit' modifier could only be added to something you hit with. unless you've figured out a way to kick/headbutt/bodyslam then you cant strike the opponent with your armour.

    I was thinking more like the armour having a permenant/constantly refreshing contingency spell. Like casting doom on opponent when hit or invisible on self when down to 50% health.

    Maybe I should make staves for some other schools too? If you can make these I am sure they will be an useful addition to a mage till he gets SotM.

    ^But I am sure Fighter/Mages or Cleric/Mages will enjoy these. Even mages may consider using them as long as they are protected. They have nifty special abilities, mind you.

    There is quite a few quarterstaves in the game already but There is a formula here. Maybe making a staff for every spell school and usable only by that school. Additionally granting immunity to their chiosen school could be possible. If that is something accepted then I'll make them as well (i'm getting quite the work load :D )

    So far i've got:

    2 Neckalces made
    1 Belt

    and am going to make potentially:

    7 staffs
    1 more amulet

    @ Pseudospawn

    NO... The on hit modifier is when you're hit! I have tested this with casting remove magic, and I hit once - nothing happenend. I had one hit me - Remove fear was thrown each time.

    Just for the record. I know a lot of people has a broken version of doom, and do not intend to let people exploit that ( :p Sil) it (it is cumulative), so I won't allow a doom hit, unless it's a percentage of throwing doom when you're hit.

    "conditions" for throwing spell on condition: :heh:

    0 On hit
    1 Enemy within sight
    2 HP < 50%
    3 HP < 25%
    4 HP < 10%
    5 [helpless]
    6 [poisoned]
    7 Each round attacked
    8 Each round hit
    9 Every round"

    These are all applied to yourself, meaning that all are when you're either hit, down to 50% hp, poisoned, etc...

    @ Malovae

    IF you make them school restricted, then go ahead and make them. I will have to requirre one for each school, though ;) .

    thats cleared things up a bit, but would the on hit modifier on the armour only apply to the person wearing it? would it be able to cast offensivly?

    I was thinking along the lines of a barbed armour that catches the enemy's weapon, potentially damaging it and reducing their Thac0. ALso a skeletal shield that has a chance to inflict horror on the attacker when the wearer is struck.

    Again, no. It will be able to cast offensively. Basically, it will cast as an instant spell, without casting animations or speed.

    Targets can be:
    0 The caster
    1 Last attacker
    2 [Nearest enemy]
    3 [Nearest creature]

    As for damaging wepons, it isn't do-able, as weapons don't have any "durability" in bg2, but you can, however, set it to lower their Thac0, by simply making a spell that will do that...

    The horror shield is piece of cake.

    Also, if you would want a spell like horror, that normally hits multiple cratures, then you will have to state that, as it will requirre of me to make a new version of the horror spell ;)

    The Final Word
    This bizarre steel helmet fashioned by intense magicks conforms to the shape and texture of an ordinary harlequin mask. However the ever swirling and merging of colours hints at a much deeper power lurking underneath. It achieved infamy in the hands of its original owner, the Nightblade known only as "The Pseudospawn"
    Working as a Jester by day and Assassin at night he constantly found himself in the company of loud individuals. During performances he competed with the boysterous audience for attention & respect, then again at night struggling to be heard over their warcries and fireball incantations.
    Soon after a particularly nasty encounter at the High Hedge in Baldur's Gate he was found to sporting this helm at all times. However it is unsure whether it was crafted by himself out of necessity or by the misanthropic mage, Tyrael that managed his troupe. But it earnt him a reputation for being able to keep his audience captive.
    STATISTICS:
    Vocalize
    Silence 15" Radius
    Cloak of Fear
    Weight: 2
    Usable by:
    Mage (Dual & Multi Class)
    Bard

    Porcupine Coat (Robe)
    What on the surface appears to be a rather shabby wizards robe is infact a centuries old mithril full-plate suit worn and disassembled over time. Each seemingly broken knot and loose thread is in reality a mithril shard tougher than steel and lighter than leather. Each weapon stroke upon the wearer becomes caught in the coat scratching and disfiguring the weapon, making each subsequent strike more difficult to land.
    STATISTICS :
    Protected from Normal Weapons
    33% chance to reduce attackers Thac0 by 1 when struck.
    AC: 2
    Weight: 5
    Usable By:
    Mage

    Death's Gaze (Small Shield)
    (description to come)

    STATISTICS:
    Immune to Fear & Panic
    25% chance to Spook attacker when struck.
    AC Bonus: 2
    Weight: 5
    Usable By:
    Everyone

    The silence spell as used in game is one cast, area affect, would it be possible to have it look and act like the dragon aura of fear??
    Spook would operate just as the spell with -6 save.
    Would silence/cloak of fear be useful for anything else but crowd control & keeping away the lesser mobs?

    Just noticed, dunno if it's just me or everyone, the Pilums+1 and +2 have mixed prices. +1 costs about 5500 and +2 costs about 2600 :confused:

    You aren't planning on releasing the real version (or full, i mean) for a while, correct?

    I'm swamped in school work, and I don't have time to make the weapons until the weekend...

    No, there needs lots of testing still, and yet another testing stage when the other items are added before I will dare call it a final version

    @ Goli

    Good that you mention this. However, I would prefer that any bug/flaw/error is e-mailed to the appropriate person (in this case either Malovae, or me) as stated in the readme. It is easier for us that way, as we don't have to distinguish such things from the suggestions and the likes when going through this thread.

    Moreover that couldn't "just be you", as item prices are the same (more or less, as Charisma dumps/raises the prize's) for all.
