A Poll ~Item Upgrade Mod~

[Angelousss]

i haven't gotten the mod to work so i'm just posting on the basis of what i read.
I think they got a little carried away but overall a good mod. I really want my celestial fury +5, while i certainly don't think the fury is underpowered, +3 can cause difficulties
the stacking of magic items is where the mod gets really overpowering, you can practically build your own ring of gaxx and the ring of socerian is insane

This is the waters edge, a very competent Scimitar

I actually like it-I have no objection to SR+6...makes sense seing as one of Weimar's mods adds an anti-paladin kit as well, y'know? *shrugs*

I disagree.
Thieves in BG2 needs better equipment.

[/QUOTE]There are MUCH better summons...
It is powerful, but certainly not unbalanced.

-- The Ring of Elemental Mastery incorporates the "hidden" +1 bonus to Saving Throws included in the Ring of Earth Control, even though BioWare confirmed that the Earth Control's Save bonus was an oversight that they forgot to correct. (BaldurDash fixes it.)

It's the other way around.
Baldurdash added the bonus, becuase BioWare forgot to implement it.

As quoted from Baldurdash... ...

Ring Of Earth Control Fix removes the erroneous +1 bonus to Saving Throws, now that it has been confirmed as unintentional.

[Alson]

AFAIK, the unfixed ring gave +1 to all saving throws.
The fixed one gives the bonus only to elemental saving throws.

Erm... Alson. There are only save vs death/petrify/breath/polymorph/spell/etc... but there is no save vs elemental.

I think you are getting mixed with this bugfix,

Rings Of Air & Fire Control Fixes restore the missing Save Vs. Spells (with a +3 bonus) that elementals are supposed to be allowed to avoid being charmed by these rings but were missing. Another nice fix from Beige Tangerine!

ADD] The bottom line is, the Ring of Earth Control is not supposed to give a saving throw bonus at all.

Yes, after playing for a few years now, i now the saving throws system quite well... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
What i meant was that you get +1 to saving throws vs. damage from elemental source, eg. Fireball or Fire Breath weapons.

Maybe i am confusing the bugfixes, but this is what i seem to remember.

Erm... there is no such thing. Fireball uses the save vs spell, period. Dragon's Breath( the enemy, not the spell) uses the save vs breath. IE does not cater to such detailed things.

ADD] Besides, what the heck does the Ring of Earth Control have to do with elemental spells?

You sounds certain.
I stand corrected, then. [img]smile.gif[/img]
