Hmm. I don't see it in the spell structure. Do you use IH by any chance? It has a tendency to double such effects.

No IH used. Tested also with IH, always +8.

Curiously indeed, it does happen. I'll try to figure it out.

I will start soon "ToD for EE v4.0.0" in my game. Is there any interest in details of this mod like amount of XP, gold, items...?
Hopefully, i can beat the final encounter this time wink.gif

I like this mod and would be. IIRC there was a "with IA version" and a "without IA version," so A couple questions I have -

a) how difficult is the astral shard guardian. He is she using lots of PFMWs etc

cool.gif what do you do with the book when you get back? I always keep it and kill the mage but wonder whether I am missing something

c) what the Ch 7 encounter is like

a) I do have the "IA" version installed and couldn't beat the final encounter in the tower with my lvl10 party (Necro, 2xRB, R/C multi, B9/M, Cernd). Had to use a save before entering the tower. But im by far no tactical expert.
Readme says: "Recommended average party level is between 10 - 13. Also you should have some stronger weapons equipped, Lilalcor +3 is a good example. I don't recommend to play it on lower levels, as there are some monsters that can't be hit without weapons of at least +2 enchantment..."

I will try again soon with my lvl13-14 party.

b )

Quest about the book will be added in the future. Till now it´s just a cosmetic item, nothing more.

I think its still like this.

c) I dont know yet wink.gif

So i will make some notes during my playthrough of the mod.

hmm...i dont see Cromwell's dialogue option to forge a halberd +3, although i do have a halberd +2 (dont remember where i found it, but for sure not forged).
Any ideas whats going on? Do i need to find a specific halberd +2 (if yes, please a hint where to find it before spellhold)?

There are 2 halberd+2 types, just like 2 +3 sword types, one of the swords can't be used for forging, so it's probably the same when it comes to halberds.

Thanks. I will look out for another halberd +2... but kind of disappointing... dry.gif

Another strange thing happened:
I just did beat the sewer party and found a Remove Magic scroll. My PC Necro doesnt have this spell in her spellbook but cannot learn this one. When i erase Dispel Magic, she can learn it but not Dispel Magic afterwards. No issues with my B9/M, he can learn the Remove Magic right away and also has Dispel Magic in his spellbook. Strange...

Edit: Ok, i forgot about the max number of spells per lvl ph34r.gif Didnt know that the green highlighting (EE feature) needs an unknown spell and a free slot.

btw: Is there any use of the Diamond Necklaces or are they just good money?

Diamond necklaces are good for cash. There is a +2 halberd for sale in the Adventurer's Mart that can be upgraded. There is also the Harmonium Halberd for sale which is quite nice in Ch 2/3.

You may have the named halberd from the Shade Lord, which is a component for the +5 halberd?

Yes, Suryris's Blade +2 is upgradeable to a halberd +3. Thanks bulian!

So it soudns like it is the same with the EE version of the ToD mod and the regular one, which is quite nice.

Are the changes in item names an IA6.1 or EE feature?
Halberd +2 -> Suryris's Blade +2
Short Sword +2 -> The Whistling Sword +2
Girdle of Bluntness -> Destroyer of the Hills
Boots of Stealth -> Worn Whispers
...

This is a bit confusing for the IA forges.

Yes, it's a feature of EE. They've added new icons, made these more poetic names show up by default and so on.

Improved Invisibility gives +8 bonus to Saving Throws instead of +4. At least this is what the character record says.

The +4 bonus is hardcoded in EE already.

Huh. This explains it. Is it a bug or a feature?

@CamDawg - I actually don't know what corresponds to the opcode within the engine. There is a section called opcode, but it's some low level stuff that seems to control lua (?).

What I did was add the bonuses when invisibility is checked by the character sheet (making sure that invisibility_improved is also active) as well as added a check for invisibility_improved and the appropriate bonuses in the code that checks for a successful save.

Does that sound OK, or should I rework it somehow?
