A message for TINMAN and Taluntain... Using Shadowkeeper

Parvini · Mon, 30th Apr '01, 6:53pm

Tin - do answer the questions I put forward to you in the Sorcerer Vs Mage thread some of your spell schoices are absurd

Tauluntain - I Did use the ShadowKEEPER to alter my money HOWEVER having grown up on the Nintendo path I am a player of honour and whilst admittedly I was tepted to put some level 9 spells as an innate ability I will not use the editor for in-game purposes again. I agree with your sentiments with regard to shadowkeeper and urge all gamers reading this not use it honourably.

I expect this thread to be removed after its intended recipients have read it but while its still here... Did anyone try my Illithid Bracelet theory? I read a walk therough that claimed they charmed Gaxx with one.

Nah, I won't remove it... It's a good thread. I also wanted to point out that the editor is called Shadowkeeper... I fixed it in the topic.

I'm glad you took the honourable way.

I've used SK twice so far. Once to set the Viconia Romance back on after a stupid answer to a question when I didn't have a good save. The second time was just the other day, I had created a berserker character that I wanted to dual to druid, and decided to give him mastery of scimitars and three points in dual wielding. When I got to 9th level and wanted to dual him, I found that druid wasn't an option, and cleric or thief would have meant he wouldn't be able to use scimitars (actually I'm not sure about thief). I found out that Charisma needed to be high (for some reason) on a druid, so I raised that up to 17 (and changed alignment to true neutral) so I could continue with my character concept. Considering this was a concept party in any case (druids and rangers with Nalia->Imoen for thief and mage skills) I didn't figure a raise in Charisma was going to overbalance the game.

Basically I've made changes so I would have more enjoyable play, and not to make invincible characters.

I use ShadowKeeper in a similar way.

Sometimes you roll up a character and aren't certain how to use it, so instead of brooding over it, just put the stats wherever. Later you can use SK and rearrange it as you want. As long as you haven't used the stat/proficiency I don't think it's cheating.

I just use Shadowkeeper to change the avatars. (Like my monk character in a multiplayer game, he looks like a panther

)

Oh yeah, creating those weird characters and messing around with innate abilities is a must. Sadly I didn't get the mindflayer intelligence drain attack or the dragon breath to work

(No, I don't use the last ones for gaming purposes, they're just for fooling around.)

Parv!

Sorry for the delay with the answer, I hadn't been close to my comp. in the past few days. You can find my answer in the Mage vs. Sorcerer topic now.
