(INFO) Traps galore...

Can still access the forums via my phone.

Are you taking submissions for "rogue'ish" items? I have a few I can script up while I'm offline then shoot them to you later.

Depends on what you mean by rogue'ish items ?

+10 vorpal darts
+10 dragon, giant, orc and abbertion bane daggers

KIDDING!!

Smoke bombs? Onuse item that forces the pc into stealth and forces all hostiles to break combat and make a search check.. Not near as OP as h.i.p.s. Kinda a "uh oh, why is the giant in MY face and not the fighters?!" Tool.. Add in it's a onuse item, meaning it takes a round to use AND it will have a gold cost. No where near as abuseable as h.i.p.s.

Seen these used in another server and I loved them so much I stopped taking shadow dancer.

Rust monster spores vial. Onuse item that targets an enemy and forces a fort save or suffer an AC and attack penalty. Kinda like a taunt and called shot rolled into one item.


Dunno, I love rogues and while I can dream up all kinds of neat things for them trying to 1. Keep with the server ideals and 2. Keep with what is capable in the nwn engine limits it just a touch.

Both seemes interesting

Fire away with items. Not sure all should be eksplicitly rogue only though and all will need gametest for balance checks. I like the ideas though While your at it you might consider what would make sense to other classes also...

I do like the smoke bombs idea, but they would be better suited for assassins. Speaking of assassins, how about some improvements for the poisons they can use on their weapons? I think the smoke bombs would also be a great way to get off a sneak/death attack while your opponent has changed target.

Let's look at it

PS though. Lets finish this rogue project before we talk about other classes please. Ideas with smokeboms is fine and coo but i'd really apreciate feedbak and balance checks on traps first , hehe.

Well, I still need the skill points in set trap, and leveling is slow.

Killed The Undead Torturer via minor electric traps (took two traps), sadly did not apply the kill to my character. Xp was gained but his amulet was not given so I will have to wait and kill him agian to complete the quest.

Used the electric traps on mobs and it only applied to the lead of the group. Maybe their spacing was to far apart? I will test more situations and traps and keep posting.

I've been wondering about the structure of the electrical trap myself, since I also noticed that it seemes to be quite narrow in its "reach".

Fire, frost and acid are all HUGE radius but what i donr about is if those radius actually count form the middle. Thus a mob enter it the reach out is somwhat smaller due to it obviously being at the edge of the actual trapsize, and in this case how much this is deducting from the size. Keep trying and report back. We are after all still in testing phase and things can get altered still

PS.
I dont think we can actually do much about the kill on the boss, allthough I wonder why since you get xp from killing else.... kinda odd.
