I started an EE run again, and as much as I absolutely love BG1/2's plot and setting, ugh, I really can't stomach AD&D any more after PoE. Really wish those "remake BG1/2 in PoE" mods had actually gotten somewhere.

Woolie Wool posted:How are AoE and positioning handled on the tabletop? I imagine quite a bit must be up to the GM. You have a map and you place tokens/minis on it for the PCs and monsters, and you measure ranges to stuff.

ProfessorCirno posted:To answer the question: Yes, when using 2e or 5e's system, it turns out trying to combine abstract movement and distances with exact measurements doesn't work out too well, and it largely ends up being "the GM will tell you" which doesn't always work out. It turns out "the GM will tell you" always works out to "any distance is roughly within spell range, but definitely outside of melee range" in practice, too.

MonsterEnvy posted:I am guessing it's because he has a beard and head of hair. Thayans consider hair to be very unappealing to look at. (Having a bald head is also required for them to get their head tattoo's) I am pretty sure he has the beard and hair because he's an outcast and stopped shaving it, and not the other way around.

Chaltab posted:That's... really poor game design given how low starting HP is for everyone. Is there a mod that lets you make death saving throws when reduced to 0 like in the actual tabletop game? AD&D is not 4E, and getting a saving throw at 0HP is not a thing in AD&D, so no. Fortunately, it's a video game, so just save before fights and reload if your guys die.

I don't see how they're baiting anything. AD&D is badly-put-together garbage and most people know that, but it's often shocking when people come from better systems and expect it to not be poo poo.

Harlock posted:Has anyone tried to mod 3/3.5e rules into BG or BG2? I know ID2 uses it. Could you run the BG2 maps and everything on its engine? It would be a better use of everyone's time to just mod the BG1/2 campaigns into PoE, and thus end up with a system that isn't pure, unadulterated garbage.

Sephiroth_IRA posted:Im assuming stats cap at 25 because I believe Rage and Potion of Cloud Giant Strength should've put me at 26. Stats cap at 25, and also items generally set your stats to specific values, they don't add to them. Cloud Giant Strength will set your Strength to 23.

Kavak posted:The Infinity Engine has come very close to turning me into a 2nd Edition grognard with how much more fun Warriors are in it. AD&D2 is generally pretty so-so for non-casters. If you want to have some real fun with warriors, go play Rules Cyclopedia Basic D&D. It's the second best edition of D&D! Mordaedil posted:I have no clue about 5th edition. Don't worry, neither did the designers. All they knew is that change was icky and putting thought into design was evil.

Cythereal posted:Why oh why does Beamdog insist on continuing to use the infinity engine rather than going for something less arcane to work with... Because it would cost them an incredible amount of money to port the games to a new engine.

Eberron is a mashup of late 19th century westerns, early 20th century warfare, 1920s/30s economics (including corporations), Cold War era paranoia/spy games, and cyberpunk-esque megacorporations. Unlike other D&D settings, it's specifically designed to have a lot of noir sensibilities. It's the best D&D setting. Wizard Styles posted:I don't think the exact term Interbellum is used in Europe It is, in the UK anyway. Everyone also has their own term that more or less translates to "between the two wars." Woolie Wool posted:"-bellum?" That's an American history term.

drat, that's nice. Looks way better than the horrid original UI at reasonable resolutions, too.

Yes, you have to buy/find magical arrows individually, and some of them have exist in a very limited amount throughout the game.

Mortimer posted:Fortunately/unfortunately a crpg thread would mean you could talk about Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny unless you just flat out state "games made before 2010 only" "Don't talk about CRPGs that already have their own thread" is not some mystical rule no one has ever thought about before. Just make this the Retro CRPG Thread or whatever, so people can talk about Infinity Engine/NWN/Goldbox/etc. all in one thread.

Just install the tweak that makes NPCs not leave when your reputation gets too high/low.

Apparently the Serpent in the Staglands/Copper Dreams people named their cats Branwen and Ajantis.

GorfZaplen posted:Is Serpent in the Staglands good? It has great visuals but I've heard mixed things on gameplay. It's good, but it's also very, very retro, to the point where it makes it a pain to play. Copper Dreams looks like it's going to be significantly more accessible.

99% of pixel art video games made these days have a much higher colour palette and resolution than anything made in the 2D era. It's not just ~imitating old games~, it's a legitimate art style in its own right.

Druid levels represent getting promoted within the ranks of the druid super-organisation and you can only have a fixed number of druids of a certain rank, so eventually to level up you need to Druid Fight Club your way to the next rank.
