2E gives them immunity to all magic below 8th level, but I can't see where that came from.

It came from 1e, where they had the same immunity. I don't know their real world mythology enough to say why 1e had it.

2e screwed up a lot of things like this (ogre magi are in a similar circumstance). Rakshasas weren't just a show-up-and-fight-now-here's-all-their-stats enemy. They were masters of illusion, spending sometimes years to gain control of whatever it is they wanted: political influence, economic strength, oneupmanship on a rival rakshasa, etc). If you were fighting one in combat, it was only at the end of intense investigation.

So for how you could change a defining characteristic in a completely out-of-character circumstance, I have no idea. I would run with the "masters of illusion" aspect. Give them permanent True Seeing, or a ridiculously high MR if outright immunity isn't to your taste.

See, I think you give Bioware way, way too much credit when it comes to the quality of their "winging it." I am bothered by the illogical and unexplained way the ability is applied in the game...

The Forgotten Realms cosmology and magic paradigm are more to blame. It's shit. Between 1e and 2e, TSR wanted to dump Gygax and Greyhawk, so they latched onto Greenwood and his Forgettable Realms. Nothing there should be dug too deeply into. You're doing the right thing.

(from another unreleased mod readme):

Another lovely concept in 1st edition that got obliterated into imbecility in 2e. Originally, MR was the % to block a spell BASED ON A CASTER LEVEL OF 11. MR was adjusted +/- 5% if the caster was higher or lower than 11; for example, a creature with 50% MR would have an effective MR of 75% against spells from a 6th level mage, and no MR at all against a mage of level 21 or higher. Naturally, a bungle of this enormity greatly changes the balance of power in BG. The worst part is, all of those previously manageable MR creatures like drow are now so resistant to spells, particularly in Chapter 5, that battles are nothing more than bash-fests, since wasting spells when you have an at best 75% chance of success is expected against even grunt-type creatures. This isn't strategic: it's tedious. It's worse when the [PC]s have significant MR as enemy mages rarely, if ever, waste time and spell slots reducing MR one [PC] at a time, or they just hope spells get through.

Meant to suggest this a long time ago.

We've made Negative Plane Protection protect from all undead special attacks (except mummy disease and ghast stench) like shadow's STR drain and ghoul's paralyze. We had to alter their attack items and do some CastSpellOnHit stuff but that's certainly within the parameters of IR+SR.

can you recolor, give another sound, and vastly speed up the cone of cold anim?

there's just not enough ways to specifically affect a mage. could treat FM as a non-silence Silence; no spell casting for 1-3 rounds? automatic unsummoning of his summons? randomly lost buff? 100% chance of wild magic on his next spell?

has ToBEx given anything related to adjusting Caster Level? letting feeblemind reduce the target's casting level would be appropriate, perhaps.

is there any way to make breach into a temporary effect, i.e. disable stoneskin/pfmw/etc for x rounds instead of completely doing away with it? probably not.

All undead creatures should be immune to mind affecting spells (liches are far from "mindless" imo), but I just checked and liches miss quite a lot of immunities they should have, including immunity to feeblemindedness. I started making spells not affect certain creatures via EFF files for SR V3 (e.g. Horrid Wilting doesn't work on undead), but I gave for granted monsters had the most obvious resistances back then, unlike IR V3 which hugely relies upon this system without leaving anything for granted (almost all abilities now have at least a few of these race/type checks). I'll pay more attention for SR V4.

wouldn't it be easier to start working in some Creature Revisions as a recommended but optional component? it seems it'd be better to provide immunities at the source instead of stacking EFFs across multiple spells.

i know it's magic and all, but the two fire shields should cancel each other out. sometimes you just gotta make a managerial decision and go with what makes sense.

aww, he looked like fun.

Chill man, and get a life. Downtimes and outages happen with all modding sites, just some users like to pretend it's a big deal in case of BWL, their problem is that some of our website content is available to site supporters only.

 

The prefixes "vital" to modders can wait for a few days, modders will survive that. The list you posted is incomplete and outdated.

i have yet to see any mod site/forum with as much downtime as bwl. you're right; it's not a big deal but only because no one really gives a shit whether it's up or down or not outside of that page. the first thing you should've done is posted that the site was down and an expectation for when it'd be back up. you're quick to do damage control, though.

it is not for you to judge the importance of community property.

The list you posted is incomplete and outdated.

learn to read.

this one isn't absolutely current as my own recently acquired prefix of FU is not shown.

-----------

As for the prefix list, I asked some modders and they agreed that the Prefix List is the property of the Community, so there is nothing wrong if it is not posted at TeamBG. (As it is down unfortunately.)

oh, the irony.

at least mirror that page somewhere. the prefixes are vital to modders. it also looks like the BG mod community is run out of some 3rd world country.

this one isn't absolutely current as my own recently acquired prefix of FU is not shown.

Ok this is crazy... they said the server has no hardware problems, and I believed them. Today it died twice again, so I checked it on my own and yes the harddisk seems to be dying. Our contract ends in June (that is when we planned to go to the new provider), but I'll just try to migrate all stuff in these days to a new host. Our current provider just proved to be totally unreliable.

 

See you soon

 

Baronius

should probably mirror it or just put it on a new host.

mmm. traditionally fire is a way to clear spider webs. what do you think of fire shield including immunity to web? would benefit efreeti and other fire creatures.

i always imagined cloudkill as a combination of chemical damage (which is more what a contact poison is) + suffocation. i suppose different backgrounds lead to these different interpretations as i would have never thought to make spiders immune to cloudkill!

I agree, keep those features

for sure. immune to cold = immune to effects resulting from cold

i didn't mean ignore it entirely, but PnP presumes an immediate and infallible arbiter of inconsistencies. here we're dealing with fixed solutions to fixed obstacles. as an example, in some PnP contexts the Inquisitor kit is no more and perhaps less powerful than a Cavalier, but within BG2 where True Sight and a 2x level Dispel Magic can solve virtually any encounter with mages combined with immunities to two of the most common and powerful attack effects, the Inq is without question more powerful. since "common sense" was his only other argument i just wanted to discourage over-reliance on the ancestral ruleset.

Nap (Alteration)

Sphere: Time

Range: Touch

Components: V, S, M

Duration: Special

Casting Time: 2

Area of Effect: One creature/level

Saving Throw: None

Creatures affected by this spell are put to sleep for one hour. Upon awakening, the creature is as refreshed as if he had slept for eight hours. The affected person recovers lost hit points as if he rested for a full night. Wizards can memorize spells as if real time had passed.

Because the rest is so complete and rejuvenating, a character does not feel fatigued after waking. Attempts to use nap more than once in an 18-hour period are ineffective (the character simply is not sleepy). Only willing subjects can be affected by nap.

The material components are a scrap of pillow ticking, a feather, and a pebble that the caster has kept in his pocket for seven nights.

I take it this is a change based on PnP rules AND common sense.

PnP rules (relevant to BG) are notoriously arbitrary and inconsistent. there's a 2nd level spell that counts as a full night's rest including refreshed spells. in BG2 this is a Wish/9th/epic level spell. i'm not sure "PnP says so" is good argument for coding something into a computer game.

i'm disinclined to put much time into testing because i suspect there will be a noticeable ~hiccup~ when enough AI's get in sync spawning and checking the multiple observers -- or will they? one observer isn't enough; no idea what BP does unless it just averages the position of the PCs and targets the observer/ground; not what i had in mind.

without hundreds of lines of AI code, enemy wizards will never be as precise with unfriendly AoE as the player is. i can target a shielded enemy mage with a fireball and get their cleric and a few guys in melee with the blast and leave my own guys unharmed besides some singed eyebrows. the AI will never do that. aesthetically, AI-friendly AoE looks bad but if you're playing this game for accurate renderings of actions then my pity for you is unending (and RPGs aren't really your genre). i consider it a small price to pay rather than eliminating an entire range of extremely useful and common spells just because accurate and appropriate targeting is nearly impossible to achieve.

@ DW: w/o a physics-based engine, can we use triggers like Range and Num to get close? we could spawn very short-lived invisible observers at X,Y offsets around each enemy with range checks for enemies and allies and increment/decrement a "good target" variable with a minimum score to fire.

on an only marginally-related note, i wonder if it wouldn't be better to just make some NPC-only AoE spells that are (their) party-friendly. i'd love it if the bad guys could use Cone of Cold or Fireball without range and ally-proximity checks.

i haven't tested all of these but to me they aren't immersion breaking and have helped out my (enemy) clerics & druids:

iron/stoneskin for druids isn't just the non-arcane version for non-mages; it's a literal transformation of flesh via natural magicks and as such, along with barkskin, is not subject to breach.

two versions of cleric/druid casting times: all casting times are 1 regardless of level -- or -- all castings are uninterruptable. the former i have no problem with either RP or mechanic-wise as it's easy for me to imagine divine power being more of a "hey god help me" rather than the elaborate production mages have to go through.

meh. turning clerics into mages so they can solo vs the party? radical, at best. better encounter design is the solution and quite out of purview here.

let's just do this

IF
  !GlobalTimerNotExpired("skillXP","GLOBAL")
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
  SetGlobalTimer("skillXP","GLOBAL",3600)
  AddExperienceParty(25000)
END

now you can just assume all the things you think should provide XP do so. You could even substitute a Hotkey check for the timer and any time you think "Hey, I just used a skill! WHERE'S MY XP??!!?" you could get your well-deserved XP with the touch of a button.

yay.
