#212659 What happened to the Corthala Romance?

Posted by Tydirium on 28 June 2005 - 11:53 AM in IE Modding Discussion

Where did the CR go? It's disapeared in the move to here.



#211121 High Level Adventures

Posted by Tydirium on 18 June 2005 - 02:01 PM in IE Mod Ideas

AND, there is also my Mazzy the Paladin Mod (however mine takes place in SoA).
I suspect a lot of people dislike 2nd edition  :P

And I suspect a lot of people like 2E and dislike 3E, too.

Especially since 3E is neither a third edition or even D&D except in brand name.



#210877 Magical metals in AD&D?

Posted by Tydirium on 17 June 2005 - 02:17 PM in Delusions of the Mind

Some of that is changed from 2nd edition, or slightly off.

Mithral is Tolkien's mithril, just given a different spelling for copyright purposes.

Cold iron isn't actually a different type of iron, it's just ordinary iron that has been cold-wrought or cold-forged instead of hot-forged. Reference: Planescape - Monstrous Compendium Appendix 1. Specifically, the discussion on elemental vulnerabilities w/ regards to celestial and fiendish races.

As for alchemical silver, it's the process itself that is magical/alchemical, and keeps it on the weapon. Not the metal. In a similar vein, you'll find silver-inlaid weapons that have the same abilities vs. silver-vulnerable creatures but don't even require the alchemy.

Also, you might come across references to adamantite. That's not a metal, it's the ore that adamantine (not the same stuff as adamantium such as that in Marvel Comics or WH40K) is refined from.

Nobody's mentioned meteoric iron/steel, which is generally metal refined from ore derived from meteors, and is both generally stronger/harder and has more tensile strength, and can have all sorts of interesting properties.

For actual, inherently magical metals, you'll largely have to look to other settings or fantasy literature. Offhand, the Baatezu make a type of green steel, and there are a number of magical metals in LotR, such as ithildin.

The best source for Realms-specific stuff like this is probably 2E's Volo's Guide to All Things Magical.  Unfortunately, I don't have my copy here or I could look it up for you.



#180116 TIZ file download Very slow

Posted by Tydirium on 09 January 2005 - 12:32 AM in Secret of Bone Hill

Specifically, where can I find:

bh0505.tiz
bh1000.tiz
bh1002.tiz
bh1003.tiz
bh1200.tiz
bh1300.tiz

Is there anywhere I can just find these?



#180075 TIZ file download Very slow

Posted by Tydirium on 08 January 2005 - 07:15 PM in Secret of Bone Hill

And now that I have it, no less than six files within are corrupt.

Can I possibly find it's parts somewhere else?



#179935 TIZ file download Very slow

Posted by Tydirium on 08 January 2005 - 03:29 AM in Secret of Bone Hill

Asia is the only ftp.

For those of us like dial-up, it may be slow, but it's certain.



#178753 TIZ file download Very slow

Posted by Tydirium on 01 January 2005 - 03:55 PM in Secret of Bone Hill

After three days with the ftp, I'm almost halfway through the download.

When I'm through, I'm going to make it available on eMule, although I don't have it on often.



#163769 Version 150

Posted by Tydirium on 18 October 2004 - 06:26 PM in Check the Bodies

Thank you.



#163708 Version 150

Posted by Tydirium on 18 October 2004 - 12:51 PM in Check the Bodies

The version I got from the main site was 73 MB in size, I'm downloading from the mirror right now, and the size of that on is 75 MB.

Maybe the file on the main download site was truncated?



#148104 Compatibility question

Posted by Tydirium on 31 August 2004 - 08:20 PM in The Bigg Tweaks

Will the Mazzy the Paladin component work with the NPC kit mod on Gibberlings3?

That gives most of the NPCs more fitting kits. Mazzy ceases to be a fighter and becomes a Truesword of Arvoreen with it.
