    While keeping spoilers to a minimum, what did you dislike and like about Ronald Rynnwrathi, the new cleric for Co8 5? If you must use spoilers, mark them obviously.

    Thank you to Ted for his work on the .dlg as well as everyone else who helped on the project.

    uhm - IMO, a suggestion, add "rapid reload" to his list of defaults in the protos since he can use a bow.

    [EDIT] Dont remove anything just add rapid reload.

    Rapid Reload is for Crossbows. Did you mean Rapid Shot?

    Defaults? Are you talking about his pre-determined level-up? That's listed in the levelup.tab, rather than protos.tab, I believe.

    I think (now the positive energy thing has been set) he's a damn decent character, I picked him up shortly after starting the game and I'm quite impressed, I'm not too keen on the idea of him not selling his starting gear, because I'd quite like to give him some new armor, that studded leather (while good at low levels) quickly becomes a burden (I don't like encumbered characters much).

    The main reason I took Ronald in the first place was actually because I wanted to play a monk, I added a druid for the monk's magic item creation and a PC cleric seemed like overkill.

    Can't wait for the voice files to go with him.

    Yes. I meant rapid shot [was at work - typing fast].

    protos entry # 14681 and should be Feat column # 260 Rapid Shot

    ..is what I was suggesting [intending to suggest].

    [EDIT] For Ronald to have Rapid Shot, his Dex would have to be increased by 1 from 12 to be a 13 and a prerequisite Feat of Point Blank Shot also be added to his protos. I don't know if you'd want to go that far with your new NPC, though. It's just a suggestion, your call either way. IMO - Ronald is a cool add-on to ToEE, regardless.

    When I rolled for Ron's stats, I got 12/13/16/16/17/18 which I distributed as 16/17/16/13/18/12, but Ted used my lesser stats of 12/12/14/13/16/12 which I suggested.

    Ronald only should have two feats at first level.

    Not to sound too tough on anyone's opinion, but...Stats for "NPC's" should be "set"; and those playing the character can choose the feats they wish. It's part of the fun of playing. Once Ronnnie boy gets a level or two, take the feat(s) you want & have a ball! (Actually, they are more like recruitable PC's; but that's another issue entirely...)

    Your gonna love the voice, some real character in there.

    Edit: what do I like about Ron? He has a clearly defined persona, acts and reacts consistently, and he fills a much-needed gap in the game.

    Must do a recruitable paladin one day ;)

    I had an idea for that one, but wouldn't know where to begin to code it. It would be a random encounter like Zaxis, but a little different. I'd love to see it done, I think it would be pretty cool. I'll PM you with the details.

    Get back to u on that soon ;)

    Ok, here are Ron's voice files. Bit of a mix-up on my part, thought Zorn's stuff was going to be an extra, but its already in :) Well and good.

    Unzip these files somewhere handy (like a desktop) and open the Ronald fonalder created. Inside you will find 3 numbered folders. Move them into your Temple of Elemental Evil\data\sound\speech folder, along side all the other numbered folders already in there.

    Now, chat to Ron! If you chat to him in the party, he actually has a lot to say on many subjects :) He will also react to passing events at various moments in the game.

    O - if anyone finds a line that has no sound, post it here. There's well over a hundred in the game, so I may have missed one or two.

    Voices by Endarire, remastering by Gaear, renumbering by Ted.

    :thumbsup:

    Love him. A much needed addition and fits in exceptionally well. He's superbly 'fleshed' out as a character.

    Be proud of yourselves guys.

    Well I put in the hard yards - thats the 2nd biggest dialogue file in the game! - but Endarire gets all the credit, its his character and a damn fine job he did (imho).

    I'm a bit curious, why the ranks in Tumble? He's a -1 with starting equipment.
