THE ROCK

[Pestilence]

Just to avoid the entire situation: Just don't use the rock!

I just want to point out that the NWN perception ranges for NPCs suck, btw.

"long"  -is- further than any PC can target, and 'Medium' is a fair bit shorter.


So the mages can target you from longer than a PC is able to shoot. A PC technically can shoot that far, as the spell range allows it, but the client itself cannot allow the PC to see that far  due to camera limits/fog.

This is truth.  For all the rebuttal that PCs can see just as far and attack at the sames distances as monsters can if you can somehow find the magic camera angle, I will say that lowering and zooming in to give me the best range possible sometimes leaves me shy of being able to target the baddies that are happily targeting me.

I much prefer the simple explanation of, "That's just how the game goes, sometimes.  Deal with it!"  It's really REALLY hard to argue with that!

Try this folks: "## mainscene.fog 0" without the quotes.
