    Sure. Just give them a Natural Armor bonus (like the Amulet) or an Enchantment bonus, rather than the straight Armor bonus given by the Bracers.

    Edit: A Deflection bonus, like a shield, works as well.

    Exactly who "does everything together" - Riana and Serena or Meleny and Fruella? If its the latter, I'd say whoever the author was is taking a bit too much liberty with the NPCs.

    And Ted, let's not forget who gave us "There's Something About Mary," Mr. Purity. ;)

    Well I just noticed that in Bonus Type 1 which is Armor Bonus Param 1 and 2 both have 0 entered so that needs to be changed (I did have 3 as param 1), but if you're going to be messing with that bit anyway then go ahead.

    Just exactly (or approxiamtely) is that random encounter supposed to occur? I made it through the final confrontation and never got the random encounter. Of course, I never got the encounter where you find the swamp lotus either, nor has Zaxis shown up. My installation is sooo screwed. Time to wipe clean and reinstall I guess.

    Riana and Serena. Can't remember if it's voiced or not, or if Meleny's reaction is voiced. It's a flirtatious remark made by an ex-prostitute and her ex-slave sister, both of whom are thieves; not (imo) a stretch for the characters.

    What he said. The other combination doesn't bear thinking about - and I agree that the sisters saying that is perfectly within character (though perhaps there should be a Cha limit, I can't see them saying it to some 6 Cha half-orc no matter how many times he saves them from slavery). The girls' comment is not voiced (being added in later), but Meleny's response sure as heck should be!

    Cerulean - see the 'random encounter' bit in the Guide, it should occur the very next time you leave Hommlet after handing over the curette from Mary. If it doesn't, I'm afraid it goes in the 'I waited 100+ days after saving Thrommel and Scather never showed' basket, nothing I can do about it :( I tested it many times and found a better than 80% success rate.

    Hey what'd you think of the final encounter? Crying shame I couldn't get that spell to work... I mean it worked and looked fantastic but caused a CTD when the combat ended.

    Yeah, I've got no problem with them saying that. Fruella and Meleny would have been goofy though, as if they even knew each other prior to joining the party.

    Thinking of it, I wonder if that little bit wasn't added by Liv. She went a rather long way to adding other twists, shall we say, to the whole Brothel business.

    Ahem. Well, please carry on, men.

    Funny we should be talking about his, because...

    Something abour Mary 2.0 should be out tomorrow! Its adds the costume element for reasons I will go into later. Lets just say, Charlotte the Dominatrix, in black leather boots, gloves, Cujo's Marauder armour and carrying a spiked chain (and with my new sound effects), well, as Sam Gamgee would say, "If I could grow taters like that, I would call myself a gardener". :twitch:

    O and yeah, Cujo's Runes will get fiddled soon enough. Priorities and all that. Sorry!

    Off to work, my second shift today. See u's all in 7 hours or so.

    The dialouge in the final encounter is great, though I have the feeling I would understand it better if the random encounter had happened. I need to find that dialouge file. The battle was easy. Four PCs and 3NPCs all at 7th level, and all three times I've played it I won with no problem. Only two of my characters were injured, and they only lost a third of their hp. Even with the funky problems my install has been having, I think you've made an excellent mod. Thanks Ted!

    EDIT: I've got all of Cujo's armors working like they should now. Even put in a +3 natural armor bonus for the Celtic Runes (so it will stack with bracers and rings of protection), since Cujo said they were suposed to have an armor value. Also added Masterwork versions, since they are in the discription.mes, but weren't in the protos.tab

    Thanks for fixing it, if you check the 4 new files on page 2 of cujos mod in general modding forum, it also might explain why this protos isn't quite right, the protos in that has got all my items how they should've been, but if you've made celtic stackable with braceres and stuff then thats great.

    From the sound of it, I'd say they already are...

    Ok I will make Cujo's stuff conform to that file he mentioned (I have it somewhere) and go the natural armour route as Cerulean suggested.

    [Edit - ok say we have a tattoo that provides +3 natural armour bonus, doesn't clash with bracers or rings and is 'masterwork' (furtherly enchantable) - does someone want to suggest a price for such a thing? I should imagine it should be VERY expensive, as the final product (bracers etc factored in) would be, lets just say 'substantially armoured'.

    Suggest NUMBERS only people, I already know where the url's for articles on doing the calculations are.]

    I checked those 4 new files again. No protos in there. I hope you don't mind me changing your work like that.

    Not at all.

    In fact, the most sensible thing would probably just for you to email me a copy of the protos you have been working on, rather than me trying to duplicate it. When you are satisfied with what you have done, email it to me at shiningted@yahoo.com (i want to tweak a couple things of my own). Could you also mention all the lines you have changed (not the individual changes, just the lines will do) so I can let Allyx know.
