Tharbad Trouble: The Visitor, again --Background: The mysterious visitor has come to visit Rainor, the former Grand High Sorcerer of the Mage Council, once again. This takes place a few days after the first visit described above.-- Two guards once more lie on the floor of a torch lit hallway. The man in the black mantle bend over them. "Zleep vell, boyz..." The former Grand High Sorcerer wakes from a turmoiled slumber, hitting his fist against the wall as his nightmares slowly begin to fade into reality. He whispers softly as he wipes the blood from his hand. "...Aerilla...

FYI - the blinding of the caster from mud rolling should now be fixed so that it blinds the enemies within range instead.

Welcome

Tharbad Trouble: The Visitor --Background: Rainor, the former Grand High Sorcerer of the Tharbad Mage Council was arrested by the council as he was risking the neutrality of Tharbad in hopes of saving a fellow sorceress, Aerilla. Aerilla had saved the life of Queen Fina Aega of Southern Annakol during the fifth Annakol Festival where an attempt was made on her life by an assassin. Aerilla herself was wounded with a poisoned shuriken in the process; the poison proving incurable. The Tharbad Mage Council covered up that Aerilla was fighting for her life to the outside world to maintain the n

New Grand High Sorcerer in Tharbad The Tharbad Mage Council announced that the position of Grand High Sorcerer has been filled by Master Mercon Havensworth, a long time respected member of the Tharbad community. A spokesman of the Tharbad Mage council was able to tell us that they have great hopes for the development of the Sorcerer's Council under the adequate leadership of Master Havensworth. The position of Grand High Sorcerer has been kept vacant since the arrest of the former Grand High Sorcerer Rainor, who was arrested and is currently in prison awaiting a charge of treason against

That update to my knowledge has not been put on the server yet and hence not been made available to the general public. At least, for as far as I know.

We're working on it, thanks for your feedback. We really need feedback on things like this to be able to improve the world for everyone's enjoyment. Thing will not change instantly, but without knowing there is a problem it is impossible to even consider ways to improve it. So thank you for your feedback.

Good luck with the new job, feel free to drop in whenever you have a moment.

I know I am risking sounding like an ass here... but I have a number of things which I think you need to at least be aware. As Wolfy said, Drow will require an application. If you want to play such a character please send me an application request with background prior to making and playing said character on the server. The DMs will look this over and I will get back to you as soon as possible with either suggestions to change the background a bit, sometimes an immediate yes, or sometimes a straight out no; of course with an explanation. Great that you want to RP when there is no one

I hope you have a speedy recovery

Thanks, for what it's worth I think everyone will likely need a relevel. From the look of things even my new hak update will not do what I want. The system will not allow for what I want it to do without a relevel. My apologies, but as Mike said... it's worth it. Also, if there are bugs, please let me know asap so I can fix them. For instance the mud rolling I can fix easily, but I do need to know about it. Fixes such as that are hak download free.

I stand corrected, this is a problem but I have already send in a fix for it. Right now the only way to make this work is by a total relevel of all HL levels. My apologies for not having noticed this during my testing and for having you download an update yet again in such a short amount of time.

I fear I have some good and some bad news. The new class update is in. There were some reports of it not working, but some research has shown that there are just some minor issues with it which will NOT effect playability. They will however lead to confusion, hence this post. Thanks to Malishara for helping me test this. New characters: REQUIREMENTS of the class are listed incorrectly. They include the Mounted Combat Feat. Make sure you have 4 Ride Skill and Mounted Combat and the DM leveling allowed variable on you (ask your DM). Once all of that is set, you can level. Perso

Welcome

I fear I will have to correct you there Wolfgang, we do have Sehanine in the pantheon. She's one part of the Triune Goddess Angharradh even. So using Sehanine is fine. That said, it is a very good suggestion to look at all the religious overview sometime so you know what gods are there and who they are in Annakolia. There are some deviations from say, DnD equivalents, from time to time.

I understand your problems, though I think there are a number of tips and tricks to help with some of the problems you state. 1) Archers: Archers can switch to a melee weapon as well. Indeed an archer that tries to shoot things at point blank range may experience problems, however in general terms an Arcane Archer build tends to have ranger and/or fighter levels, making them quite descent fighters in melee combat. So the answer can be start of with arrows and switch to a melee weapon (+shield) when the enemy gets too close. If you were going for either a pure mage or bard build, you may

Good luck and take care.

The highest of the two stats is used to determine if a spell can be cast or not. All spells list the base ability needed to cast them. Note 2: The Winter Witch uses Ice Power to cast spells.
