I even have some signs in a language, but only someone with a high lore, and a high INT will be able to read them. There will be many ways to succeed at things on this level as well. You can earn loads of XP by using these skills. After 14 and others open, I'll be adding many more skill checks throughout EFU so you can make use of them. Even some stores, if you persuade someone, maybe you can get a better deal! I decided to really go all out for this level. [img]smile.gif[/img] Hope you like it when I open it--should be a few days. Been busy for a few days. Scripting is also slower when I gotta figure out harder stuff. But it's worth it. Stay tuned! And Lvl 14 will explain many things in Undermountain--ties a few loose ends up and starts quests.

You do realize that will make a lot of builds completely useless as they've been maximized for damage potential. Of course, people may simply start to party-up more often just to overcome they various absences in skills. Hey, that's a pretty good reason to make levels like this one! I do see a lot of requests for Rings Of The Liar, Amulets Of The Sly Dog, and Robes Of The Sensual Vixen coming up for you, Ziroc. *Grins* Of course, that does mean there'll finally be a level where being a rogue or a bard will be a Very Good Thing(tm). Come to think of it, maybe I should make a few items of that nature, although there may be other counterchecks to see if the person is really "that damned good" or it's just a put-on.

(exampli gratias: bluff/persuade check suceeds, then see if Strength is higher than 20 or 30 - something like that. if that's the case, person realizes they had magic used on them and they go ultra hostile.)

One thing I know people are going to ask about is alignment checks and alignment shifting moments. Will those be coming in the next few months as well? As right now, being a paladin gives you nothing better than being a barbarian when it comes to dealing with various NPCs. (Thinking of Attalus and his paladins...) [/QUOTE]Oh yeh. Alignment changes are already in level 14. Saying you can't help someone is fine, but rubbing it in, saying "I hope you die here, you crap-stick" will give you a pt towards evil. hehe.. crap-stick +9! [img]smile.gif[/img]
