New IG items
Posted: 26 Dec 2005 03:19 AM |
Hey everyone, after Ficcy and Sirac's new items, Vives is moving closer to one of my goals since I started here and this is to have enough custom items to get rid of the FR items.
So, where do you think we need more items?
I know we need more rings, amulets, bracers, cloaks, and boots. Can anyone think of others?
Also, if you're feeling up to it, suggest me an item and you might find it ingame one day :)
Thanks. |

BELTS.
DEAR GOD, WE NEED THINGS TO HOLD OUR PANTS UP.
In my two and a half years, Balthor only has four belts that he's EVER found, let alone ones worth keeping.
More exotic weapons would be interesting. I can't remember seeing anybody with a Dire Mace, Kukri, or a Whip.
I really think we're doing okay on rings and amulets because the CNR system compensates for six rings and about 22 amulets all by itself. Being able to craft more cloaks would be nice, and boots... I dunno. There are a lot of boots out there, and many of them are actually very good. |

Some new gloves would be nice as well. But yes, I imagine Port Royale looks like down town NYC with everyone's pants around their thighs. I'm half surprised Candy isn't throwing out gang symbols and wearing her big furry hat.
If you need any help making items, send me the order hakpaks need to be put in and what item groups to focus on, and I can lend a hand. |

Is there any way to have goggles or Bows, RIbbon kinda things ( Head slot) and just have the Texture for the head be nothing, so that 'helmets' wouldn't be useless.

Yeah I forgot to say belts.
And, if you have ideas, just post them here. I have a target of 50 to 100 new once and I can only boggle so many of them on my own.
Hopefully, I should be done them by the end of the week. |

Ideas for items:
Heavy Boots of Lead:
Bonus:
immunity to knockdown
Penaltys:
weghts alot thus dex penalty or constant slow or something
Helmet of Fear Resistance:
Bonus:
immunity to fear
Penalty:
Makes you deaf and blind
I got tons of ideas but those above are just but a few examples i'd like to see happen sometime. |

Just a reminder if posting ideas that the Vives guidelines for items are...
Here...try to keep within these guidelines with any suggestions.

I think a lot of this could be addressed by adding to the recipes in the CNR tables. I know the current recipes are a tad light on the easier pelts, like rats and bats... maybe a batskin belt that gives darkvision, or ratskin gloves that grant a bonus to sneak, etc.
I'm all for interesting headgear. I also think crafting specific items could be great, like a pair of gloves that give a bonus to your tailoring checks, or a pair of eyeglasses that give you a bonus to your alchemy checks.

Yeah, possibly, but I hate CNR and would not want to be confined by having to use it. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to make an item give bonus to specific CNR skills.. it can only be done through stat bonuses?
But yeah, items. What other people suggested, belts, those weapons that nobody uses.
If you can make helms and stuff like Romulus suggested, then you could have fun with that; a flower or leaf circlet.

| How about some monk gear... yee know... theres few things one monk could take, and not having any CNR backup it turns to be a pain... Just think about it. Thanks |
Why search around when the answer is within you...?

| We also need some interesting monk gloves. I don't think there are many choices out there. (i may be mistaken on this). I would have said more katana's but i believe Ara is working on that. (from screenshots and such i have seen). Also i think the choice of Scythe's are lacking as well. |

In the interests of game balance, I've decided that monks should only get d4 hp, and no wisdom bonuses to ac.

Um, Paul, shouldn't we make a major announcement about this rather then hide it in here...? |

I didnt think it was necessary, because there are not that many monk characters.

| Well those items i made up were sort of jokeish, i just tought some crazy gnome could make something idoitic as those items.... Like soundproof helm with no visor on it. Well seriously though.. How about a pair of bracers of rage. You'd get... +1 con as permanent bonus and when you use it like 10 uses and you'd get the druid blood frienzy spell effect... then when it runs out it just simply runs out of the alchemical mixture it had stored inside it as each use of it would spike a needle onto your skin (hence the +1 con to take the damage the needle does to you)... |

I'm guessing the answer to my question from before is a no :P
About Ribbons/Bows/Glasses/Goggles, head item with no texture?
I.E: Bright Ribbon, Charisma + 1
I feel like my helmet slot is so useless, and not everyone who has something on their head is wearing a helmet! |

I have no idea, I'm just making items, not dealing with haks and such. |

It can't be done.
Helmets work by replacing the head model with the helmet model.
This is why there are no hats or open-faced helms in NWN.
With the recent addition of robes in HOTU, Lisa figured out that you could use robes to make things like hats (you'll notice we have hats IG). However, the cavalier hat is a ROBE appearance, not an actual helm (ie it is part of the armour that you wear in the armour slot, it is not a separate helm in the head slot).
As to some of the suggestions above:
- Immunity to Knockdown = illegal
- Soundproof helmet, FOIG, but I think someone has either been reading my mind or looking over my shoulder while I work... |
