Viewing item details?

Hello,

is it possible to view an item's details beyond the 3 lines that show upin the bottom of the inventory overlay?

for example, i identified the radiant longsword as +1, but it gives no details on what other powers it has (I'm assuming it has, since it has the added keyword).

same for cleaver... i've seen postings on it, butwhen i view it it doesn't show any of the special abilities.

thanks.:blink:

 

For magic weapons, magic armor, and other special items and gear, you can press and hold down the <SHIFT> key and click using your mouse over a magic or special item in your inventory pack to get an extra description. Otherwise, the answer to your question is no.

 

if you are wondering about particular magic item qualities, and do not have access to the relevant core rulebooks; online descriptions can be found here:

THanks!
Specific to the Holy power, the radiant/holy Longsword doesn't seem to have the holy effect... when I attack undead, I often do 0 damage (this is when I was low leveled) when I hit . Skeletons that is. i understand they may have some slashing dmg resist, but I can't imaging 1d8+1+ 3 str bonus + 2d6 holy can be negated to 0.

 

pretty sure you're not referring to a sword you've crafted yourself right?

quest reward or somesuch?

 

Yes - quest reward for marrying Meleny.

 

im guessing it was toned down so as to not completely imbalance the game?

 

Nobody fiddled that sword. It's one of the most desired in the early game. Gotta be something you're character isn't able to take advantage of. Perhaps an alignment, class, or skill issue?

 

Also, skeletons are neutral-evil. This has been a topic of discussion in multiple threads. Skeletons also have Monster DR Bludgeoning 5.

 

If you look at the combat text on the right-hand side, you can get more information by clicking on any blue text. For example, if you see:

Fighter hits skeleton

skeleton takes no damage

You could click on "hits" or "no damage". "Hits" would give you a detailed break down of the roll and all modifers that allowed your guy to hit the monster. "No damage" would break down all the variables in the damage calculation, and should tell you why the skelly isn't being damaged.

 

But there's no history about the item like the one's we used to get in the Baldur's Gate trilogy
OHHH I miss that game so much....:zap: :zap:

Hmmm maybe i will install that for the 200th timeeace:
