    Well the only skeleton at WB is the gnoll skeleton, and he is properly flagged as undead. Mathel the lich/zombie guy is the only other undead, and he is also properly flagged.

    Thanks for verifying, btw.

    Insider tip: look for Co8 5.9.3 sometime on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 ... just in time to play over the holiday (assuming you do the holiday thing wherever you are - if not, you can still play it too)! :mrhappy:

    Wow, that's a lot of work! Good job!

    A couple of questions:

    Who will have the masterwork flail?

    Will parties with paladins be able to shop with Senshock now?

    I don't remember if I actually added the masterwork flail to anyone's shop inventory. :shy: Maybe Bro Smyth's.

    Paladins will still auto-fight Senshock, but that's all.

    [edit]

    btw, the 5.9.3 mods are once again awaiting the nebulous 'authorization' at ModDB - have been for about 12 hours.

    The Circle of Eight Modpack Explained thread has been updated with compatability information and augmented with the troubleshooting and recommendations data (and those separate threads have been deleted), so it is now your place for one-stop-shopping when it comes to ToEE/Co8 informational needs and demands.

    So, any helpful forum members here who want to assist those with common questions should simply direct them there.

    I'm interested to play the new version, as it will completely change my tactics, since entangle no longer works indoors. This will mean more 1st level slots a wiz/soc wasted on grease and 2nd level slots on web.

    Some questions, how should freedom of movement interact with grease? Wearing the rings, I still fall down a lot, even character who should have a high reflex save.

    Also can bards use wands with a UMD check? Is it just for spells on their list or any arcane spell? Can anyone use a healing wand without a UMD check (like a healing potion)?

    Checked this - Bro Smyth, Lareth in the Temple, and the Verbobonc weapons merchant all have them.

    Can I move my saves from 5.9.2 to 5.9.3 and continue playing?

    No you cannot. You can never use any saves across modules.

    Found a potential bug, after killing the owlbears in phase 1 of the arena quest the arena master failed to spawn, even when moving 'off-screen' or 'passing-time' I am going to use the counsel to teleport back to Hommlet and see if I can continue on with the arena quest from there.
