There were two types of trolls used in Gladden
27985 LC_TROLL001 (ones that used to need fire to kill)
27396 NW_TROLL (original nwn trolls)
which is a total of 55,381 combined. That would put them in the top 10 just for you Benny.

PS: Luther has still burned more trolls than Elvalia has :-p |

Stats I'd really like to see:
* Top ten characters with the highest exploration xp. (Let me guess...Luther's #1)
* A ranking of the most kill happy dm's. (Whether through monsters or that nasty 'lil button. Yes, I know you all snicker with delight!)
* The top ten traps that I repeatedly forget about and step on. (Oh..and if you could somehow highlight them for my character from now on)
* The number of times I have tried to cast a spell in an anti magic zone that I already knew about.
* The number of times I have walked into a temple of some god and been smited due to my transgressions. (I lost count after 5)
* The number of times my hat has been stolen, burnt, or destroyed in IRC.
* The number of hours in game that Fengus the Foul Mouthed has rp'd being drunk.
* The number of times Friel has called someone "Kitten"
* The number of paladins that Vidus has burnt to a crisp or generally smited. |

I'm afraid that Luther is #1 with everything, apart from time IG. ;)
Here's another one: how many other players has Dias/X killed through his summons (water elemental and hound archon come to mind). I'll never forget the time (years back) when he zapped 5 newbies in Icy Vale after warning them not to run between the archon and the orcs. *sniffs* Such beautiful deaths.
And finally: how many times has X' curiosity gotten him into rather not so good situations. That includes unwarranted visits by Frobozz... |

| Trolls are no longer #1 for total kills? That's totally, utterly, and in all other ways, incontheivable. Frankly I'm disapponted - there's no excuse really. It's not like Latonei ranger membership has dwindled, or Ferein got destroyed or anything. |

I am assuming that the 10 most cast spells include spells activated by potions, scrolls, and other magic items.
That Bullstrength figure looks like potion distillate... |

We were relying on you, but your character became inconviently unavailable.
Those trolls are unchecked, unchecked, I say! |

No, those figures are for spells cast only, not potions used, or scrolls used or wands/rods/staff used, or items used.
I guess all those wimpy casters need help in moving their stuff around.

| I can understand how people keep dieing from those stag beetles. You sit there, going through those caves, doing fairly well, and then think to yourself, "Hey, I've gotten this far, why not try one of those stag beetles? I mean, these other guys haven't been so bad." *Hack stomp gore* "AYIEEEEEEEEE!!!!" *Respawn* |

No kidding.
Thank god I had played NWN so much before that I knew to dread the stag beetles when I first ventured in that cave in my low levels ;)
I saw the name of the creature before it saw me, shrieked like a girl and ran out. Hey, at least I survived. Still, it didn't prevent me from almost dying when I went back in, confident that my new levels would decimate the beetles. -> some shrieking-like-a-girldness ensued and I ran back out again. Darn, they are tough. |

Yeah, the stag beetles are a blast. I remember being in party of 3 12th level characters and barely escaping with our lives as the beetles started to decimate us.
It didn't surprise me to see them so highly rated.

You know, it's not even that you don't know how strong they are half the time. It's usually (for me anyways), *Hack hack hack* Yay! *Hack hack hack* Yay! "Oh look, a stag beetle! I know you are feared and honored above all beetles, yet I, the mighty Tasra, can slay ye!"
*Hack hack hack* "When will I learn?"
And yet I know that someone is going to read this thread, go through those caves, see the stag beetle, and say, "I can take ya." and then die. |

Are stag beetles that scary? I was only afraid to face them with low level characters. Stepping too deep into the cave trying to complete the wife's quest was always something I feared, but never again once they got mid-level.
This inspires me to go out and face the Stag Terror myself with some character. |
WickedArtist: I think he needs a proper elf.
WickedArtist: A christmas elf!
Tasra: Any sort of elf that actually smiles ;o
Gasp! Scandalous!!! |
