Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

You get the moathouse respawn from the "check billboard" option in Verbo.

 

Has anyone else experienced their monk getting diseased?

My level 8 monk recently came down with Filth Fever, which is merely a standard disease if I am recalling correctly.

A monk with the Purity of Body feat should be immune to all except magical diseases.

If I am remembering right Filth Fever is normally associated with Dire rats and otyughs. If you're injured while in filthy surroundings you might also catch it.

 

Yes, in 7.6 my paladin suffered from diseases and in 7.7 my monk did as well. I haven't played either class since 7.8.

 

In 7.8, I just sold a "Trader's Shortsword +1" and a plain "Shortsword +1" and noticed they were different prices. It looks like the Trader's sword doesn't include the masterwork cost, where the plain one does.

 

Is it normal for a LN party NOT to get Fragarach as a reward for rescuing Prince Thrommel? Didn't expect to have to fight Zuggy with them (wanted to just take the gem hoard) but they came out just fine as it was...

 

When Vests of Escape were fixed by raising the caster level, were any other changes made? I ask because I'm now on Dungeon Level 4, and the game will not roll a Disable Device check after I've found a trap. The description of the Vest still says it acts as a Masterwork set of tools.

 

When you first speak to the good Viscount he seems to stumble on his words.

An example; Well, you have our deepest gratitude, accomlished as you are.

Or is it now the style of royalty to not use the letter P? heh heh

 

Further testing with locks seems to indicate the Vest still counts as tools, so I have no idea why it won't roll a Disable check for the trap I found.

On a separate note, wow! The Senshock battle is incredible now! I haven't had this much trouble with a combat since my first play through. Great job, Gaear!

 

I thought tools just got rid of the negative modifier for opening locks.

Is the vest supposed to grant the "Spot Trap" feat?

 

Just finished up the CN alignment finishing the temple- just took the gem horde (as that seems to fit the alignment). Overall no problems with them and they can use holy weapons with no penalty (except Moradin's Soul Hammer) and chaotic weapons as well- a nice alignment if you don't won't to worry about being restricted in weapon usage.

Forgot to note the LN party- I had intended to take the gem hoard as well with them but when my rogue caught the deception from the crone the situation went immediately to combat with Zuggy- no making a few steps across the chamber with the gems (in fact, didn't get a chance to take the gems) just straight from the crone conversation to the start of the Zuggy conversation, then combat. Took me a bit by surprise- but not as much as seeing that ogre get out of his room in the Moathouse- that, was a sneaky trick indeed...

 

I did spot the trap, but for some reason the game won't roll to disarm it. My rogue kneels in front of the chest and goes through the motions, but no roll is made. The weirder part is that it just worked fine on Senshock's chest. The ettin chests are the ones giving me trouble.

 

You're quite welcome! I also took a peek at the barracks, and I'm going to hope the alert goes back to normal at night. Otherwise, that's going to be another far more challenging fight than usual.

In other news, I just read a note from a certain NPC's sister, and the line breaks were messed up by the change in font, so that each line wraps a single word to the next line. Hopefully that's an easy fix.
