Bug Reports / Eldritch Archer: Charm Person Arrow
January 31, 2023, 02:11:58 AM
Per the wiki:

Charm Person should be craftable.

It currently is not.


Circle 1: Charm Person, Grease, Scare, Sleep, Horizikauls Boom

I wasn't even online and I heard of their stories.

Could also use a placable transition maybe?

Suggestions / Ponds/Exile Shop for Bard Songs
May 26, 2022, 04:39:17 PM
Slaunder the Poet is 500gp for a random song.

The "Drill" Songshop is 300gp.

There is a bard shop in the Peerage with a variety of 'guaranteed' song drops for various amounts.

Would be nice to have an exile bard song shop or something?

The quest is, while not long, sort of tedious to run out of.

A fast travel exit to the entrance would be appreciated.

Bug Reports / Summoned Web Spider
May 04, 2022, 11:39:27 PM
Could this be checked for the proper summon ai? When caught in my Web AoE spells, it turns on me, despite the other summons not doing so, I've been subdued a few times by my own summons so far.

This is also a 'do I want to script this insanely complicated and massively bloated way to implement this?'

As someone who has played with tailoring scripts in the past, here's just a few of things someone scripting this has to consider.

1. What appearances do we wish to allow? Project Q, unfortunately, has some adult themes inappropriate for EFU- and while indeed most players are tasteful enough not to do this, you will have someone who gets drunk and thinks it's the funniest shit in the world. You have to find the 2da number of this particular appearance in the massively bloated project Q hak- who, instead of removing old assets, simply write over the old ones with new ones, so you have to figure out which asset is in current use.
2. What happens if I accidently skip the appearance I want? There's HUNDREDS of torso models, do I want a 'back' option? - This sounds simple, but it really isn't, this can be dozens of lines of buggy new code which, when referring to issue one, is a way to exploit the 'skip' function, so you have to write cases again for the 'back up' part.
3. How much should it cost? Certain appearances imply a certain level of savvy, should they cost more? Headaches...
4.  What about hak appearances that do not work with 'large phenotypes?' - Say, someone is cursed to become FAT, and they go the tailor and exploit the fact that the hak model forces them into a slimming, pleasing appearance. Is that an exploit? How do I enforce it?
5. Some of the project q cloaks are entirely inappropriate for the city of rings- namely, the deity cloaks, most of which have no representation of presence in the City itself.  While the Sunpurse cloak uses the Lathander model, it's more of a clever use of an existing asset than purposefully designing the logo for IG use.

So on and so forth...

This is HOURS and HOURS of work that is often simply unrewarding when you can create things like Eldritch Archer and other cool perks for players to play with in game.

Sometimes, looking awesome is an investment that needs more than money, it needs achievements, and DMs are never stingy with DM loot or cool looking rewards in my experience.

Basically this would let conjurors have a cool and neat thematic summon out longer and give it a bunch of buffs and stuff.

Alter the summoning spells so that by targeting an existing (your) summon, you can increase the duration of said spell.

Say you have a Summon IV out, you can use two more summon IVs to triple the duration, instead of having 3 summon IVs out.

Or you have a Summon V out, and you use 3 summon IVs to increase the duration by a mathematically deprecated amount. maybe by 1/5th? Reduce the duration by the fraction of the spell tier, I guess.

Aaron Goodwill was born to a prostitute in ring 97 and struggled in his upbringing. A starved, sickly child- he was born weak and unhealthy from the beginning, and his mother fed him just enough to keep him alive. Unable to rely on muscle, he relied on his sharp wit and cowardice- and made it to adulthood.

Through the trials of his youth, he began to blame all his problems on an imaginary friend named Gwendli Bent. He cursed and hated this individual who always told his mother what he was up to- made noise so the other kids/gangsters heard where he was, and otherwise made his life miserable (when in reality he was the one that fucked up) and it turned slowly turned into an entire religion.

Blame Bent for all your problems.

It's never your fault.

It's his fault. That wretched, no good Gwendli Bent.

He was originally a joke PC, and I expected to quit in a few days in boredom- but he turned into a wild, amazing ride over the last three months. A huge thanks to Unfie, CanadianLoki, Stranger, Astra, Hierophaunt, Roxy, and Solipso for an amazing journey.

A huge thanks to Tala, Ironside, Abala, and Skaghunter for running little things for Aaron and making him a genuine joy to play- his misery and suffering as he worked his way through the Rings and lost friends is something I don't think I'll ever get to experience again.

Suggestions / Give Clerics Summon Swarm

I think this would be a worthwhile investment for cleric summoners.
