My experiences with IA and Auramaster Options

[Sikret]

See this post for my reasons, Shaitan! But yes, a player can always ignore my recommendations, but then, I may ignore his reports as well . (of course, I don't mean that I will ingore all sorts of reports from a player who decides to solo the game; I will just ignore reports such as 'this battle is too difficult' or 'that battle is too easy'. Also if a player wants to submit a report to the mod's walkthrough, he/she need to play the mod with a party of at least 5 members; otherwise his submission won't be accepted).

Ah

[Sikret]

As for Orcus, I just changed the battle to make it a bit more challenging. He will summon "Master Vampires" rather than ordinary ones. Each master will summon a number of ordinary vampires.

And of course any undead creatures summoned by you will immediately turn hostile (Orcus is 'Prince of the Undead' after all). This latter feature was already added to v4.3 before the recent discussions about Orcus.

ooohh another delay... ahh probably wort it

[Arkain]

Will any of these enemies be affected by a cleric's turn undead ability?

Of course not!

Hmm, I don't understand this Illasera fight... True Seeing, Dispel and Remove Magic at very high level, and he is still invisible. What type of invis and protection is she using?

This is thetruth's little secret. I will not spoil its fun until thetruth decides to do so himself.

I know one tactic that a lot of tactical mod/tactics experts like to use, is Mislead+SI: divination and SI: Abjuration, or hide either the real version or the mislead clone (I can't remember which).

[Shadan]

SI: Div and SI: Abj. doesn't stack in IA... If any of them would be up on him only, either True Seeing or Dispel should work... Ti hide Mislead is not pssobile, imho, since I tried it. But I checked surroundings for this... I am getting real frustrated...

I would use my thief with detect illusions if i see that coming....altho i haven't tried

[lroumen]

Vanilla:
- Hiding the clone makes it undispellable by true sight. I'm not certain whether it's full-proof against dispel magic or remove magic.
- Multiple spell immunities did stack.

In IA it's apparently different.

I suggest some more item:

Robe of Apprenti

I thought a bit more and found your suggestion a good one, Ryel ril Ers!

It's now added to the list.

Thank you.

[Shadan]

OK, I figured out that Illasera invis thing... Was what I suspected. I don't write down here cause Sikret wants to be secret, but if you want to know, send a PM to me.

Glad to hear that you figured it out. And thanks for not spoiling its fun.

I have a question:
I just realized that Keldorn's THACO progression stopped at 0 base THACO, despite of he is lvl 28 now. I have Ease of Use Unnerfed THACO, spell progression etc. component installed. Is this normal? I thought this mod makes TAHCO progression continues beyond lvl 20. Other characters like Haer'Dalis continue their THACO progression yet since they haven't reached 0 THACO. My F/I lvl 20 fighter now, so he has 0, Haer is lvl 39, he has 1, Anomen is 30+ (I don't remember exatly), but he has -1 base THACO (maybe that 1 below 0 comes from an item). Is there any tables about this part of Ease of Use mod, where I can check new THACO, save and spellprogressions?

It's in file ..\ease\high\THAC0.2DA

This is normal. All classes except for mages, sorcerers, thieves and bards eventually cap at THAC0 0 (mages and sorcerers cap at 7, thieves and bards at 1). So the advantage of fighters is just that they get to THAC0 0 earlier.

Thanks. Another question:
Haer'Dalis has ** in his short and long sword proficiencies. Despite of this, his attack number with only 1 short sword is: 1. Keldorn or my F/I has number of attacks 2 with their ** weapons. I think with specialized (**) weapons you should have to attack more than 1 time. So what's the problem with Haer?
Ease of Use: True Grand Mastery is installed.

[LZJ]

shadan: Well, I don't really have any experience as a programmer, but from my experience, Keldorn's THAC0 should go below 0 with Ease of Use Unnerfed THAC0 installed. Also, ** in short sword proficiency should net any character an extra half attack. Perhaps you should re-install your Ease of Use Mod?
