Re: Hearkenwold

That's a really cool looking battle setup there :) . Freing oneself from being surrounded like this or at least shielding casters somewhat is challenging and fun indeed. Dimension door, area slow effects or crowd control hold spells as well as a sneak/shadow trait on a caster can help, but most impo...

Re: IB (pc only, testbed) Development updates

Forgive me some mad ramblings, please, need to brainstorm a bit: Creatures show their TYPE (like eg "undead", "animal", "demon", "robot", "corporate lawyer"...) on mouse over. Type is referred to by: effects (affect only, affect never lists) This is ...

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

Thank you for cheking this out, Jer. On one hand this is good news as IB performance is good on your laptop, too.
