Regarding Bows: Note that the damage you'll do with a bow is calculated the same way as for any other weapon (strength*3, dexterity and perception), so it will be rather low. What does make bows worthwhile nonetheless in a coordinated group is that ranged weapons drain action points from monsters (...

I am not the best archer as a mage, missing some attributes of one, but can manage to do a little bit of damage occasionally and worked up from 0 range to over 80. It took a while to achieve but not years and years either. It is also fairly easy to make your own arrows. http://illarion.org/communit...

Mages can't melee but can be archers, takes some practice but it is possible. You may can adjust the attributes enough to allow decent archery though this mage didn't adjust any. Oh yeah. I hadn't even considered archery since it always used to be total rubbish. I recall reading that perception is ...

Old battlemage-builts are basically useless in combat right now and the cost to respec their attributes is not worth the time required to grind up all that coin. What you 'can' do with such a character are rituals for which you should get in contact with a gm of your liking. Okay, that's more or le...

Yes - but you can change attributes with the trainer NPC and enough money or you become a potion addicted, both works. Potion addict... lol. I guess he could get really friendly with a druid or alchemist... :wink: Yeah, I've heard about the NPC trainer, trouble is the price doubles each time though...

If that's the case then hopefully it's as simple as gearing my character correctly! I will have to seek a smith and test it. Thanks for the link, I've seen the guide before. :) Fighting skill isn't really a problem. (for once) I imagine having 4 strength might have a lot to do with my character's ge...

Hey all, So I've been messing around with my old battle mage character, and he seems... really weak. Too weak. I'm talking cream puff here. I get that gems are a thing, and armor level is a thing... but do they all make THAT much of a difference? My character is max level, uses daggers, has max agil...

Any more takers? I am sad to say we are still lacking in numbers...

Problem with becoming chief of all orcs is level of char. Orcs boss is always strongest orc of all around. Can your orc char defeat Kraex or Juumajin? Not really interested in being chief, so that's fine. The thought of skilling and gemming is just... yuck. What I consider 'traditional orcs' might ...

I'd be down. I want to make an orc character, but would definitely prefer to be apart of a clan. And since I cant convince my friends to make orc characters, this sounds like a great alternative. Excellent! \m/ Nice! Glad to hear it Caswir! Maybe if a big awesome guild is established your friends w...

Hi everyone, So I found myself looking through the old orc clan guild boards (that I am still somehow a member of) and I've been feeling a bit nostalgic. Anyone remember Da Orcs ob da northern mountains? Or the Blackhorn Clan? I do. They were fun, and I miss role playing as an orc, and hopefully som...

Maybe they want to...





...discuss (thread) necromancy?

*the notice has been ripped down, leaving beding a rusted nail with a scrap of parchment*

((DISCLAIMER: Hi. So I'm not an active player anymore, but I had some fun times playing illarion when I was, so thanks. To everyone. I wrote this for fun privately, and it felt right to share it with the community that I enjoyed role playing with on and off since 2009. (and now I feel old) Anyway, ...

Nothing but a bunch of noobs. Tell me about it. Especially that Verdazar guy... :wink: Achae was shown the temple once by Dain, and once they used her neutral druid status to try to change things in Trolls Bane i.e. there was a law no Moshran worship in the town I believe. I have seriously lost cou...

Haha, yeah! That's the stuff!

Thanks for you input and PMs so far guys, keep 'em coming!

Haven't had time to read that thread from you yet Kyre but that there is a nice meaty lump of lore if ever I saw one! Thanks!

Hey Guys, it's been quite a while. I wanted to start this topic after some time reflecting on 'the good old days' and how much fun I've had over the years playing this game, in particular the time I spent role playing with characters from the Temple in it's later days. What I really wanted to do was...

WARNING MY OPINIONS MAY BE NICKPICKY Alright, so I played for a few hours today as my former-mage, and my orc so I’ll give you my first impressions. I’ll also acknowledge that some of these things may change the more I explore the game, like discovering more armour, etc. So, here’s what I think. St...

I think I understand what's happeneing a bit better now, thanks Thargon. So huge plague is making everyone run away to another island, killing some, and making room for lots of new characters and stuff. *nods*

This one here's after a quick summery I think. Admittedly I have no idea what's going on either in regard to RPing the VBU... and might also appreciate such a summery. >.>

I hope some kind of amazing re-discovery of magic quest will be thought up when it's time for the mages to 'restore their powers.' I'll admit, this whole thing horrified me at first, but now that I think about it, it could bring on some really cool RP. Imagine that... all the mages on the island mys...

Greettings, My name is Artemis Hawthorne, a teacher at the academy of Lor Angur. But this is not about me; this is about my student, Atticus Corgan. It is through a series of unfortunate events, involving my laboratory, several gnomes, a long test tube, and my favourite battle-stave that he now fin...

*The letters on the previous parchment melt away, and another message replaces them.*

The Bone Lord bids you welcome.

*A note appears below the last, crimson ink letter bubbling up from the parchment.*

No one remains here who can give you what you seek.

Smart, patient, elaborate 'evil' in essence needs to be met with smart, patient,intelligent good. I've played as both good and evil characters of varying degrees, and this sentence pretty much sums it up for me. No matter how incredible a role player you might be, or how impressive you make your qu...

Grimghor strolls merrily along the outer walls of Trolls Bane, dragging a poor, exhausted looking mule along by the reigns. The mule snuffed irritably as the orc smacked a beefy hand down on its head a few times, in a manner the orc probably considered to be affectionate. “C’mon Finkleberreh!! We go...

Haha, hooray! I like the sound of randomness a lot better anyway to be totally honest. xD Makes you form tougher parties to hunt! Hehe, can't wait.

My God yes! xD

Oh and, dwarves in general:
