News and Announcements
- We are incredibly saddened to announce that Avariel (Kaylynn/Renee), the player of Charity Brightsong, and Tigerlily, the player of Skye Synter, passed away some time ago and are no longer with us in this world. They played on the server between 2021-2022. Those that had the pleasure of knowing them will miss them dearly. The In Memoriam section in the OOC Area has been updated to honor and remember them both. (Ray)
Areas/Monsters/Items

- (UD) Update to the Hook Horrors dungeon (Edge)
- Update to the T6 Asylum dungeon (Misty)
- Update to the T6 Gallery dungeon (Lady)
- Marsember teleport points now work correctly (Ray)
- Various minor tweaks and fixes in Marsember, including the grounding of the flying frog. (Rykka/Ray)
- The Priestess of Tymora in Marsember no longer speaks like a Priestess of the Morninglord and has stopped selling Umberlee wares due to multiple Cease and Desist orders. (Ray)

- DMs/Builders can now assign their NPC's animation sets (arcane, demonblade,etc) using the local variable ANIMATIONSET int <animationsets.2da #>. The NPC must be a dynamic model (i.e. halfling/human/elf would work, ogre would not). (Ray)

Last post by Fury - Jun 24, 2024, 10:43 AMQuote from: Plot Lost on Jun 24, 2024, 08:27 AMQuote from: Fury on Jun 21, 2024, 04:19 PMMystic 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.)
