The 5.0.0 beta 1 Thread

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

SPOILER ALERT---------------------------




























I just finished Verbobonc
Got a few questions.

Does the Bazzar only sells scrolls that's all?

Also I cant seem to copy True Seeing scroll I bought from the Bazzar
I could copy Chain Lightning scroll however.

The place where I fought the dragon was Underdark? or Underdark is at somewhere else?

ps. I did download the most recent cumulative fixes


over all I loved Verbobonc
great place fun quests! Thanks so much for the great experience.

 

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

Her AI fires off and she runs over to a PC to cast the spell, but the results are as I've said. I haven't tried casting it with her in the party.

Are there any hints in the game to who her master is, because she certainly doesn't say anything and no one else in town talks about her or her master.

 

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

*laff* It would kinda be funny IF the Master is one of the prisoners to rescue from the Temple and you can find the Master in Verbobonc after returning that particular rescued prisoner back to Verbobonc.

[EDIT] The above is strictly a guess on my part, something for us to look in to and determine.

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

is there a complete spoiler ?

 

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

Nope and no.

It is still a Beta.

I am aware of no plans to make a spoiler [a walkthrough] even after the Co8 5.0.0 MOD goes live in a final release version.
* What you can, right now, and will be able to do is read the readme notes, the current version, now, and the final version when done, to see what all is included. However, it will read like a "techie manual" and will only name what was modded, not the content of each mod and the respective changes and also not cheats, either.

 

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

Again, I ask are there any clues in the game? Ariel mentions he exists, but that's it, despite my party "face" having 13 ranks in all of the social skills and no one else says a thing about it. Am I missing something or are we just supposed to wander around all of Verbebonc, the Temple, Homlett and Nulb talking to every person on the street in hopes they turn out to be the master?

ETA: Sorry, that sounded a little pissy. Not my intention. I just want to ascertain that there are in fact clues to her Master's identity/location.

 

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

That's a little unfair to folks who've never read/played the module, IMO, which is going to be the vast majority of players. Some in-game clues would be nice.

I'm not asking you to give it away, here or elsewhere, but some dialogue hints somewhere would be helpful. I'd love for there to be a way to figure it out in-game. (Which doesn't mean telling the player straight out.)

I have an idea who he is now, but considering NPCs that decide to fight with me tend to be dead before they get a chance to run away or beg for mercy, I'm guessing it's never going to happen for me.

 

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

I know who it is, and its really quite clever, you don't even need to have played the module - the game gives you clues to who it is if you complete enough of it

 

Re: Co8 5.0.0 beta 1 thread

Possible trap bug. I have just started playing with the 5.0.0 version. In the tower with the spider, there is a trapped chest. The first time I encountered this chest with 5.0.0, it worked just like it always did - the Disable Device DC was in the high 20s somewhere, and my rogue automatically took 20 when trying to disable it. On my current run through, however, the DC was listed as 18 or something in that range and my rogue rolled rather than taking 20.

Also, I think the rolling may have been busted - my rogue never rolled better than a 6 in six attempts, as though he were rolling on a d6 rather than a d20. While this could happen at random, the probability of rolling 6 or worse on a d20 six times in a row is about seven one hundredths of one percent! So something freaky was almost certainly going on there.

There was one other thing I noticed, but I think it's an old bug. At one point the same rogue took some Con damage from a different trap, and even after his Constitution was back to normal his portrait still had the little flag saying he had ability damage on his Con.

(By the way, I saw some discussion of Magic Vestment. Just in case it's not clear, being able to cast Magic Vestment on ordinary clothing is not, in and of itself, a bug. Being able to use item creation feats to upgrade the resulting item, however, is most definitely outside the spirit of the rules. It seems to me you could read the letter of the rules as allowing this, but I and any other DM I know would would just tell a player who tried to pull that to stop being stupid.)
