SOTW 0.8.9 - First Act Beta preview!

[yayswords]

Yes, exactly that.

[Taleweaver]

I searched everywhere in the script but can't find the sentence where it says "you're not a ranger like your father"? if you can tell me where it is would appreciate it!
And yes, will fix the graveyard bug too

Vaelis: "You two? But you're not rangers like Morran!"

Better: "You two? But you're not experienced forest wardens like Morran!"

(implying that "forest warden" is like the Ranger prestige class)

[jack1974]

Thanks, fixed

[Taleweaver]

When playing Althea and not telling Shea about the wolf, after Shea is taken prisoner, in Althea's conversation with Morran:

Morran: "It's simple: had he told me about HER pet wolf..."

Should be "his pet wolf".

Also, Vaelis' Leap Attack does ridiculously low damage - around 5-7 points, max. Is that intentional? (I tried using it both in the fight against Mormont, and against the goblins, with the same results.)

[jack1974]

Will fix the typo!
As for the damage, you're playing the last version? I had changed it raising the value, but maybe I need to change it again

0.8.6c is the latest one, right? I'm playing that one.

It's quite easy to test: Put a Ranger in front of Mormont and use Strikethrough. That should Stagger Mormont. Now leap at him with Vaelis, and don't do damage -_-

[jack1974]

Yes that's the latest. Will try then! The problem is the damage penalty that is applied because you hit a character in back row, so need to mess a bit with parameters

[renke_]

I'm not sure about that. Magic damage seems really bad at causing stagger too.

I noticed this too, though I initially thought this was a general change - the 40 dmg mentioned was caused by a Druid's spell, other damage types raise the stagger value much more.

[jack1974]

Ah yes, Magic attacks staggers less than other attacks types. I can change this, but since mages are quite powerful already I thought to add this change to balance it a bit.
BTW started working on Act 2 battles today

(those are mercenaries, that's why you see an enemy party made of human/elves).

uh, I would hope that fighting humans is as accepted as fighting orcs...
