Inclement Weather

[Laughing Octopus]

I'd like to see some storms in Ymph. I know we got rain, but I mean like winds and stuff. The kind of thing that calls for concentration checks, reduced spot and listen checks, whole shebang.

I'd also I like to see a hurricane every now and then. Now that'd be interesting, not to mention plot useful.

I'd like to see something similar, actually. Perhaps centred around the rafting system, where a % chance when rafting in the rain makes you veer off course to another rafting point, or maybe one of the many other islands, that is filled with whatever. If, of course, this doesn't already exist!

We already get thunderstorms with a good chance of being struck by lightning quite frequently.

I like the idea of thunderstorms hitting you with lightning, but having to worry about being blown over while walking around doesn't really appeal to me.
 
I've played on other servers that had checks to stop you being knocked over in high winds, and it was just an annoyance more than adding to roleplay in any way.

Yeah... Go ahead and throw orcs, dragons, goblins, undead and all that other stuff at us, that's fun. But weather is a bit much. People may RP hard winds, the difficulty of travelling on a stormy day, etc., but having it mechanically supported and enforced is a bit much, in my opinion. Make it a factor in DM events, if anything.

I never hear thunder when it storms. There's a nice rolling thunder sound effect among the NWN sound files, but I have never heard it on EfU.
