Journal 7.0, diary of Aria Joyce, an auramaster, Updated: Final notes Options

[pekkae]

Hi

Welcome.

Yet another journal, as the weather is terrible and I have some time (well, a few days)

The rules:

- Auramaster PC
- Max HP's for NPC's
- No non protagonist related forging (though if auramaster doesn't get amazing equipment, we will most likely forge Vagrant's stuffs)
- One custom NPC (a fighter mage multiclass, we'll decide later which one)
- Rotating crew in the beginning
- We are looking to completely dominate and blast away all encounters
- Looking to try the new stuffs
- Tomes from bg1
- Starting exp from BGTotSC
- Insane all the way (well, except two early game liches & final part of the final )

Edit:And we have the following tweaks

- Multiple strongholds
- Simplified Economy
- A few class changes from IAtweaks
- Tower of Deception (we did it in chapter 6)

Let's see how far we can go.

SPOILER!

The new logic for the location of robe of vecna is this:

(1) In Irenicus dungeon, a value between 1 to 4 is set. value 1 and 2 are Ancient dragon and Layyen. Value 3 is Alhoon's hideout and value 4 is Kaol. Kaol's chance is 12.5% at this stage for non-necromancer and 50% for necromancer.

(2) If you attack Samia without finding the tomb, Kaol will not drop the robe even if the value is 4.

(3) If you find the tomb and Samia shows up and the value is set to 4, Kaol will check if you are a necromancer or not. If you are not necromancer and the value is 4, Kaol will set the value to 3. The robe will then be in Alhoon's hideout.

(4) If you go to Alhoon's hideout before meeting Kaol, the game will check the value and if it is not 3 or 5, it will be set to 3. You will find the robe there in that area unless you had found it earlier with Kaol or Layyen or the Great Wyrm (meaning the value is 5).

The only scenario in which you can find the robe with Ancient Dragon or Layyen is that you go to meet them before Alhoon's hideout and the value is either 1 or 2.

So, if you have not found the robe at all, the only scenario that I can think of is that you had attacked Samia without finding the tomb and the value was 4. But you said the value was 3 which makes things confusing.

Critto can shed some more light on this topic. My original idea was to add a code to Waukeen's Promenade area to simply set the value at 3 for non-necromancer protagonists, but Critto suggested to add the code to AR0711.bcs to create more diverse scenarios.

So far two people have reported that they have failed to find the robe.
