The most mysterious of the mysterious factions needs some new recruits.  The level of discovery that is out there for the Stewards is pretty incredible.  We've got quite a few Druids banging around and of course could use more but if you've ever wanted to play a guardian in particular, get on in.  

It's a pretty great time to start up.  There are tons of plots, we just got a whole "internal facelift" of sorts and with the number of Druids around you'll likely be literally showered with goodies...

Most classes can work as guardians.  Priests of nature Gods, obviously rangers and barbarians, sorcerers are perfect.  

Any questions jump into #teamnature on IRC or shoot one of us a PM, be glad to help develop concepts.

I was just mussing around with some cleric domain stuff and it seems that there are a few domains missing from the posted domains download.  

Retribution is not an option when creating a cleric.  

Pain is listed as an option but not listed on the website that I can find as far as a description of the domain.

There are other inconsistencies as well but those two stuck out to me.

Is the domains override listed for download on the main page the most current one?  

Also, the domains written up on the main page here:

Don't match here:

I seem to remember a posting by I thought ScottyB when the new domains were released but I can't seem to find it.  Is there an updated consolidated list somewhere?

[not]

First let me state, I do not think that making the withering more of a central theme than it has been in the past is a bad thing.  It's fine.
 
However.

As it stands now, team nature is forced to obtain gold so that they can obtain remedy tea for the withering to keep things under control.  While this is not a problem for some, it does make a faction that is IC'ly not focused on gold have to become very focused on it because we are the most exposed to the withering.

I suggest allowing potentially two things.

1.  Allow the trade of herbal type ingredients for points similar to the way things are collected for supplies.  X number of points, you can get a dose of withering medicine.

2.  Allow a way for us to make withering tea or something like that through herbalism.  It seems very plausible that this could be done and it would make perfect sense.  

Basically, as it is now, it is quite difficult to log in and hang out with your fellow nature PCs.  Hatch plots, RP, etc.  The behavior that is generated is the opposite of what is desired I believe.

Thanks

The Crystal in the Bogs Grove is locked even when I have claimed the grove and have the key to open it.  The chest can be locked and unlocked just fine.

Hey folks,

I'll bump this for the Howland'ster without actually being asked to...

I just sent him a 20 spot.  You should too.  Particularly if you're like me and significantly beyond your college years...

Do Gnomes get a +4 bonus to Move Silently as well as Hide?  I think their racial description says they do but I believe I've read somewhere on this site that they only get a bonus to Hide.  Sorry if it's posted somewhere under info but I can't seem to get used to the new website layout...

Thanks!

It seems very logical that the workshop guild should sell a "Legionnaire's Longsword".  It's the standard soldiers sword I believe.  Seems to make sense they would sell one.

The fountain gives you the dialog as if it was Valara...

This might just be odd luck but i've killed quite a few random orc lately and none of them drop teeth.  There was a time when they all did, now none seem to.

So, friends, I just ordered myself a nice new PC with windows 7 on it.  Should arrive on Monday...  Was wondering in advance if anybody has had any issues running NWN on windows 7?  I read a few things about possibly having to run it in "Windows XP compatability" mode, etc.  

Anybody know of any issues I am going to run into?

Hoping to be back IG soon...

Thanks.

So my friends, thought i'd share my Monday afternoon hardware adventure with you all.  I am mostly a MAC guy but for NWN I play on a PC that I have.  An old dual Opteron box that was, until recently, pretty rock solid.  On Monday I booted her up and promptly started bluescreening about every 5 minutes.  I have decided I have a hardware issue, a shortof some sort, or overheating maybe so I decided to take her apart and see what I could see.  Single out components, etc...

In my efforts to do so I decided to pull out an old dual core Athlon machine from the closet, maybe use it as an interim machine...  I took a hard drive out of my current machine and slapped it in, booted that one up.  POP!  the power supply blew as soon as I booted it up (that was a first, never had that happen)....  Not good.  I decided to take the parts out of that one and put them in another case I had laying around.  Booted it up and no graphics output.  Nothing.  So, now, what do I have?  THREE pc's completely disassembled across my living room floor.  I'm now busy as hell and haven't had a chance to put any of them back togethor?

Ever had so many computer parts on your floor that you trip over them?  That's my living room right now...

Just had to share.  I can post a picture of the insanity if anybody wants to feel better about how not cluttered their apartment is...

Subject says it all.  I believe we were asked to post if there are still fireflies anywhere, there are in the elfwood, or thereabouts, leaving the Illithiri Ruins there were fireflies around last night.

Have a nice day.

Ever been walking in the woods and seen a deer?  They bolt immediately.  I think it would be nice as far as setting realism if deer ran when they saw orc / ogres / goblins / pc's, etc...

Would be cool actually if a check could be made if AE was over a certain level and they wouldn't run from those folks.  That would be very cool.

Can we get a garbage pit or something like it for the exiled camp?  

Also some kind of extra equipment rack?

Folks end up leaving things on the ground which I know contributes to lag.

Thanks.

Two questions for ya'll.

Lately i've been taking screenshots and they haven't been being saved.  Anybody ever have this problem?

and

Is there a way to copy your character's journal outside of NWN?  Is it saved in a text file locally at all?  or when you export your character?

Thanks.

When you have AE'd an animal, after engaging in combat and slaying another creature, the AE'd animal then attacked an ally.  

I assume this is not by design.

Thanks.

So, since EFU:A has been redone with really amazing immersive buildings, forests, caves, etc.  Which are awesome.  I have had alot of problem navigating in certain areas like the docks and some of the tighter forested areas.  I flat out can't see where I am going.  How do others walk around in these areas?  In particular in the docks at night.  

Can you disable buildings and trees that block your camera?  Just for situations that are a bit hairy or at night when it is harder to see anyway.

Thanks.

As far as I can tell it is basically impossible to complete this quest before the server resets without metagaming.  I can absolutely understand not letting people complete the quest more than once but not allowing folks to start it more than once seems a bit over the top.

Well, as most already know, Dughlas died during the assault on the bogs.  I had some great times with Dughlas, probably got more in character with him than any other PC i've played.  Had some great plots that we unfortunately didn't get to finish but had alot of fun along the way.

Thanks first to Gwydion for starting up the Lathanderites and letting me take a part in getting things going.  Thanks to my fellow Lathanderites (in no particular order), Professor Death, Underbard, domare, BigX2, dragonfire9000, and djspectre.  Lucine Sewell (Sphagnum) had many a plotting session with Dughlas and was one of the folks around the Zig that he trusted.  Thanks to Roslyn (Jayde Moon), and Leged (BoomdaddyBP).  Oh and thanks to Cruzel for running our prelude.

The DM's really gave us alot of help with things, especially around warding the docs, Howland was great during that whole thing.

Trying to get what we needed to do the warding of the docks.  Unfortunately I seem to have lost my screenshots I took while doing the actual warding, which was awesome.

And this was the last screenshot I took of him, I was too damn nervous during the assault to hit print screen...
