TS Test by Trufa (don't split pls with Anvil, because the second TS test will be with IA) Options

[trufa]

I finished the first TS test



Nothing special installed
-Bdash
-TS
-some Ease-of-Use
-DBG


I played until the middle of main quest (Maevar,Small Athkathlan Quests,Trademeet,deArnise,Unseeing Eye, Pl.Sphere, Pl.Prison,Slavers, Aran's side quests), and finished the first testplay (speedplay style) fem. Kensai Druid PC NN all.

- What is with Kachiko's old voice? This new one reminds me on my fem IWD1 characters, The old one was nicer, especially there was voicing in banters too, not only the core ones (lead,tired,attack, etc...)
- Same Kachiko-Yoshimo banter problem as before mentioned
- Sime's voicing has also the same trouble (only having the core sounds), and I haven't any install problems
- Haven't Triggered the first (and the other) Lovetals with SIme. It is still to do the Temple Ruins quest, or Neutral Charachters cannot romance SIme? (the reason to stopped the test)
SPOILER!

-It was good, to remove the upgraded Dak'Kon Blades, so Kachiko can try other combos as well, and in IA nothing can stop her having the Royal Elemental Staff
-Taking the TS Robes in the Nakanishi dungeon was a good idea, so this powerful, but too owerpowered robes are accessable in the middle-later of the game
-It would be better to take the Edion Ring of Wizardry out, rather the Ulcaster Ring, because in vanilla game both ring are very (or not too powerful), but in IA Ulcaster Ring will give possibly Immy a few additonal spells, but with a Ring of Wizardry-Edion Ring of Wizardry combo Imoen would have at least 12, or 14 spells in 5 lvl, and doesn't needed to memorized to An.Dead, Breach, SP. Imm.)
-I haven't found any reference (in game, and in add. programs too )how to make Ring of Wizardry II. It is possible to take this item? HOw?
[spoiler]-It is the same for the new Thief armour, but I have an Idea (Correct me if I am wrong) Aino give it at the end of the main quest to Yoshi rewarding the union of the two family)

[/spoiler]
-The last question goes for you Sikret! What will happen, if TS contains some items, that IA has modified,changed,or removed? (Arrow of Dispelling, some potions, the good old WuJen Katana?)




One of the TS-IA's expert's to get your character to TS-IA

(Fe)Male good Alligned Human Barbarian Long Sword/Flail/Spear and/or Shield)
-Best HP, Better as Vagrant, especially with Rage
-Many times immune to lvl Drain
-Many items to increase the already high HP, compensate the relatively bad AC
(Spear of Kuldahar,Mail of Life (TS +10 HP, reg 1 HP/turn),Large Shield +3 (TS Immune to PWK, Finger of Death),Indigo Ioun Stone,Girdle of Lordly Might,JD)
-Romanceable with Sime (mal-fem), or Valygar (fem)

Their new replacements in IA will appear in the game. For example, Poitons of Insight are replaced with Potions of Vitality in IA. If anywhere in TS a potion of Insight was supposed to be found, a potion Vaitality will be found instead.

And what will happen, if found in TS an item, which is REMOVED???

Enemy mages in IA don't detect such immuntities granted by an item which is totally unknown to them and may behave sub-optimally by casting those spells on the wielder of the shield. If Vlad could revise the item to *cast* the Death Ward spell (one to three times per day) rather than granting the permanent immunities, then the item could be used in IA, becaue enemies can detect that a character is protected by Death Ward.

So, if I understand you correctly, I shouldn't use any item, which grants some permanent immunity, other than some % resistances??? (the ring, which grants immunity to FoD, and Death Spell?)



Another Thing:
If you want to modify YOshi, don't do it to swashb, because a swash cannot use Guild.Dr, and Grandf. of Assa effectively. Assassin->Fighter would be OK, the Assa's % in lvl 7 is enough to care traps and locks
