Ted's mod is HERE

Well I don't know how it got F'd up. but in my testing when I made a mistake all the bonuses went onto appraise (I think when it had skill circumstance bonus but didn't recognise the skill) and a couple of things are round the wrong way.

 

I experienced the same issue with the Celtic tatoos. I don't mind it being +5 on appraise. Perfect deal for my wizard that only wears farmer's garbs. What was it supposed to be?

 

Since no one else has reported this, it may just be my install. This happened the first time I talked to her, and every time after that. Her dialogue text appears above her sprite in the game, but all that appears in the dialogue box is a grey version of what my character has just said. I have tried deleting the semi-colon, and have even started a new game, all with the same results. I wouldn't call it catastrophic, as I can still read her dialogue as floating text, and she still sells the tattoos. It's just odd.

 

Thanks for trying Ted. I don't know what you can do about it either. Unless someone else has the same problem, it must be something screwy with my install. I really should do a clean install. I tried the file you uploaded. Still get the same thing. I can't find anything in the dialogue file or the script that would be causing this, though I'm still trying to wrap my head around both of those file types, so I could be missing something. I didn't get any response from Meleny or Fruella at the brothel either, even when I let Serena or Riana join the party. I really really should do a clean install. Maybe tomorrow. Now for bed. Night all.

 

Hey Ted, I don't have much time to spend on the computer these days, but one way I checked/fixed things with skill circumstance bonus I would have a look at things like the sorcerers helm and other things that are already there in the original game and see if they're messed up as well.

right thinking really slowly because I stayed up all night in town (and we lost the rugby ) and then walked 8km(bout 5miles) home at 5am and got up early so I'm really sleepy.

ok what the problem is and I don't know why its changed but, there is no skill_ infront of the skills and change skill_tumble to skill_use_magic_device because those two are round the wrong way (look at vest of escapement in protos to check) and if you all want to have the celtic add to apraise then Ted add it in as well. I think that this version of the protos is one thats been edited before I released my fix for it thanks to Old Book for his help in that.

 

If you mean what are they ment to do in my interpretation then they're runes of protection engraved in the skin. As to actual D&D rules... well you know that I don't know what they are.

 

Oh they've got all the other bits in the protos allready, so its just what I've mentioned is all you'll have to change to get it back to how it was. If there are any other problems just complain to the manager, I mean just post

Laters, time for bed...

I got this response. It was cute. I also really liked having an NPC actually react to what was going on around her.

As to the Celtic, if sticking to "pure" D20 is important, the SysRefDoc only lists Psionic Tatoos, which work almost exactly like scrolls. However, the Silver Moon Tattoo Parlour and other D20 products do detail more magical tattoos that act exactly like standard magic items. So, you could have a Celtic that functione in exactly the same way (and was priced in exactly the same way) as magical bracers or a circlet. I'd suggest making the Celtic the same as Bracers of AC:3 plus a Circlet of Persuasion in terms of price and effects, but that might make it too expensive for low level characters. A series of Celtics (from AC 1, +1 to social skills, all the way up to AC:5, +3 to social Skills) would also be rules legal, so long as it was priced accordingly.

As per Sys ref doc (fudging slighty as this is using Bracers as a base):
AC Price 1,000 gp (+1), 4,000 gp (+2), 9,000 gp (+3), 16,000 gp (+4), 25,000 gp (+5)

For the skill boosts (based on Circlet prices, but fudged slightly), just move the item one step up on the price chart. So, a combination of +3 to AC and +3 to CHA checks and CHA based skills should come out to 16000 GP.

If all this is too much of a hassle, I'd just price them as Bracers and go.
