There's a slash command for it!

/setportrait <filename> minus the trailing letter and extension, so

Example: /setportrait myportrait_ if your portrait files are myportrait_M, myportrait_S, etc

Yes - if you're just starting out it may be easier to just remake, and then use the Archiver NPC in the OOC/AFK room to remove the old version.

For more established PCs, you can submit a relevel or rebuild request, and then ping the DMs on discord in the Support channel.

Would I lose my items and exp if I just remake?  If there is a way, I'd like to keep her instead of deleting.

Not sure if someone responded to you, but if you've not been told, just file a relevel or rebuild request to fix any issues.

[Item Request Form]

Is there a standard Item Request Form we can access for DMs and submit at the end of long quest lines?

Usually the DM will send you the preferred form if you're eligible for one from the plot, when it comes time to request items. I know I've had several variations throughout my DMing tenure because I wanted to ask different questions in different plots.

If you haven't gotten one for a plot you're in and are waiting on it, ask the DM to make sure you weren't forgotten and items are being handed out!

[or Nature]

Mystic Theurge now has Knowledge Nature, as of the most recent update.

This prompts a further question from little old me. Should the Mystic Theurge skill requirements changed from "Skills: Knowledge (Arcana) 6, Knowledge (Religion) 6, Spellcraft 9" into "Skills: Knowledge (Arcana) 6, Knowledge (Religion or Nature) 6, Spellcraft 9"? Mechanically speaking it should not be an issue to get 6 ranks in Knowledge (Religion) from the levels of Wizard/Sorcerer/Bard, but if Mystic Theurge gets the skill, it kind makes sense for the skill investment to also work as a qualification for the PRC.

That's been discussed a lot, but if I recall correctly NWN doesn't allow for "or" when it comes to skill prerequisites, so we just defaulted to religion rather than requiring both (since druids are inherently religious in FR and get knowledge religion as a class skill here according to the wiki, but clerics don't get knowledge nature.)

It is a shame I cannot get a wand of Silence with longer duration, but at least a wand of Greater Missile Storm could help you play a blaster caster. Thanks for the information!

We have custom code that allows you to create metamagicked wands, so if you want a wand of silence with longer duration I'd suggesting making an extended wand of silence. You could also get an empowered missile storm wand for more blasting.

Timestop only freezes the area you're in.

Epic spells are exempt, and dispels will still affect your friends. Otherwise I believe it makes almost every spell safe.

Yeah, there's not much of a way around having to be careful with placement. Mastery of Shaping helps though!

As for the other issue, we poked around it a bit and it seems like it's a CD specific issue so we're looking at fixing it. Don't have a timetable on that, but we are looking into it.

For offensive AoE spells, you should be able to target them on the ground, in which case they will fire centered there.

As far as I know, blade barrier and wall of fire both started having that problem with an EE patch and there's no way of reorienting them. Believe me, I've tried. 

If you mean Improved Two Weapon Fighting, it only requires 15 dex. Greater two weapon fighting is not a feat in nwn to my knowledge.

Hey, everyone.

I've been doing some thinking the past few days and after a lot of thought I'm going to have to dial my time on the server far back from what it currently is. I still intend on being around for events, both to run and to participate in them, but otherwise I need to spend time away from the game. This is partially from burnout, partially from other priorities.

Here's what that absence will look like:

Player-side:
I will be almost entirely event only. You might see Derek around on weekends, Erzikai maybe, but neither has been a huge amount of fun lately. If you want either of them, send me a PM! I don't mind scheduling time to play, I just can't do the idle in the square thing.

DM-side:

I don't intend on cancelling any of the personal plots I have planned, so those will continue as normal, with an occasional ad-hoc or two. Unforgiven will wrap up tomorrow and I'll start working on the personal plots in January. I'll try to do a bit of administrative work in the evenings once or twice a week, but the every night a week scheduling I've been doing for the past 3 weeks is burning me out a lot more than I thought it would. My DM activity will be least affected by this change.

Discord:
I'll be responding to staff messages, tags, and personal messages, but less lurking in the main discord.

This schedule will take effect in two weeks.

Cheers, hope to see you all around!

[GSID:]

GSID: Fury

Discord ID: kaithas

DM Name: SDM Fury

Due to SDM responsibilities and gearing up for a large plot, I AM NOT TAKING MORE QUESTS AT THIS TIME.

Timezone: Central US Time

Availability: I work 9-5 M-F. I'm potentially around otherwise, as long as I have some warning.

Preferred Number of Players: 3-6. I won't do more than 6 unless it's an ad hoc.

Preferred Length of Quest: 2-3 hours per session, probably around 3 sessions for a personal quest but longer or shorter if necessary.

Thematic Styles and Specialties:
The "human" spirit.
Plots that challenge good aligned people, or lead to interesting dynamics (groups that wouldn't normally work together teaming up).
Stuff centered around magic items and fate.
Broken people coming to terms with their wounds.

Antagonist deities of preference: Bane, Cyric, Shar. Fiends.

Wishes to Avoid:
Drow. I don't know enough about them.
Elves. See above. "Forlorn" elves are fine.
Specific racial/cultural lore.
Plots that root for evil. The real world is dark enough.
Explicit themes, corruption plots. I'm not going to get graphic with violence.

Recurring Plotlines!:
Blackfang: Dark strangers are planning something in Yulash... An ancient beast rears its horrible head once more.
Magic on a Budget: A discount wizard has discount quests that include bargain bin literary allusions.

Recurring NPCs:
Blackfang: Elizabet Acalyx, Lykor Kiiras
Magic on a Budget: Twun'tyr'athan the Grey, Tama

Queue:
1. Unmartyred

I am not taking more quests at this time.

Notes:
Dice private, touch on, stop for descriptions and when I say so.
Ask me if you want to roll on something I don't explicitly ask for! I want you to be able to use your skills, and there are more opportunities than I plan for or realize exist.
The more information I have on your character, the more tailored I can be.
Don't swap gear after I've asked for a check, and make sure you have the opportunity to swap gear besides rings and amulets before doing so.
If you want to use spells that are not mechanically implemented, please clear them with me beforehand and expend the spell slot.
Please read my descriptions! I try to include details in them.

Finally, please post any personal quest requests for me in the quest request forum before PMing me about it! I like that system a lot and if I can't run it at least another DM can get a crack at it that way.
