[Death wish]

Death wish
You do not fear for your life; your soul longs for death. Known for your suicidally reckless abandon, people are skeptical towards your ideas, but are intimidated of you. Who wants to anger a man with nothing to lose?

-10 saves vs death, immunity: fear, -3 persuade, +3 intimidate  

[Webbed feet/fingers]

Webbed feet/fingers
Your hideously deformed, webbed  fingers and feet make you clumsy with fine machinery and gizmos, but enable you to swim faster!  
+10% movement speed underwater, -1 charisma, -2 pick pocket, -2 pick lock, -2 disarm trap

Guess I should put this here too: Aaarrrrgh. I am dying here, my computer melted down on me, and ...GAH. I willl be back IG eventually. Ugh!

Being highly sensitive to sound and music, you've got great great rythm and know how to dance and piroutte about.

Thought I'd put this here. Fellow Pallid Maskers, I am currently out of comission. Computer's gone to hell. Sorry.

The more weather is something else than vfx backdrop the better! More stuff like this, I say!

Same here.

I assume there's a complimentary bonus gift for recruiting fresh blood, 1000 bonus XP, a free Mammoth mount for my PC or at least an EFU;A refrigerator magnet (shipping not included) or something?

There's a female dwarf head with a neat, braided beard. Might be a start.

This server is catered pretty fiercly towards the needs and wants of the gung-ho crowd with lots of hours to invest in this hobby, which leaves us more casual players hanging high and dry in some regards, but that's just the nature of the beast, I figure.
C'est la vie.
 
I'm quite poor at NWN, in spite of the amount of time (gosh, many years now) I've played this game, and so I expect to die a lot on EFU;A. I don't mind however, as long as low-level characters get to face worthy adversaries, scary enough to warrant for your PC to be considered a heroic, late adventurer and not just some lost farm boy that got eaten up by rats in the event of his death. If I felt that I had a slim chance of ever pushing my PCs beyond "surviver" to "adventurer", I wouldn't play here. The Temple of Jergal is quite good in this regard, you get to face stuff that it's quite acceptable to die from early on, it's not just embarrassing, like rats or something.
 
 
It's cool that your PC starts out as some riff-raff, but the next level of achievement, adventurer status, should not be exclusive to the NWN savvy, IMO.
 
I don't think EFU;A is failing in this regard, but I think it's something to keep in mind: That level of difficulty does not revolve solely around the mechanical aspect of the game, i.e. levels, but also around the sense of achievement derrived from other sources, i.e. how easy is it to get the gear to look cool, how easy is it to kill cool stuff etc.

YEAH!

RIPnogarD is the Jeff Koons of EFU;A. Kudos.

Ring of Grumbar's Inverted Grin
Laden with Terran runes praising the somber rule of the Boss of the Earth, Grumbar, this ring completely strips its wearer of any sense of humor.
 
Ring:
- 2 charisma,
spell immunity: tasha's hideous laughter

I think I like it as it is now. I like making defensive lines and doing that last stand thing. Bummer if monster's just wade through to the archers.
Haven't had too much trouble due to pathfinding yet either, I think.

I will now defend myself. 'Haters', prepare to feel shame and guilt:
 
Fellow nerds,
I might be a class act n00b, but I actually never thought 46 was the highest amount of damage ever scored on EFU;A.
I am a casual player not submissive enough to conform to the lofty expectations of those who put more time and effort into this hobby, and this was just a sweet moment by my own humble standards, worthy of a celebration. To me and my companions, it was quite grand, I assure you.
 
So I stand firmly by my 'hoo-raah', and I will guilt-trip the hell out of anyone who tries to shake my resolve. ;)

PS.
Ranek, I celebrated because this was a rare occurance, not because it happens often. So worry not!
 
PS II.
TBH, the 'hating' is of course very much welcome. Who would hang out here if they did not enjoy the bitter vigilante justice of fellow nerds? Bring it.
