As one of "just another modders" I'd say you should be able to try and compare before choose the final default. All the racial skill thing is far from perfect (well, I can call it broken as it is now - and I try to fix some things).

PS. Looks to me like earlier you were more constructive. Now ratio of signal to noise rational to feud is lower.

Minotaurs (race) get the Axe skill, Dark Elves (race) get the Dark Elf Ability, regardless of the class they are. Are there any other race related skills, you always get, no matter what your class is?

Yes, there are. It's defined by 'Data/Tables/Race Skills.txt' table.
BTW, Minotaur Cleric shouldn't get Axe.

I saw in Rodril's Pathfinding demo video that the party can go through walls:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fco50wdhcwaqn ... g.mp4?dl=0

Do you have the script, or if the go-through-wall debug feature is already coded in the scripts of the released latest version, how do I enable this feature please?

btw, my debug script is here:
https://github.com/might-and-magic/mm67 ... t_test.lua

Mostly written by 1qwop0, it allows you to finish all the main quests by just type in some scripts in the console.

it also has some usefull spells, and can kill all monster in the current map, make you invisible, go to another map, have huge amount of Stats/HP/SP (quasi god-mode), etc.

Some of them you may already know, but it's quite useful to write all of them down in one note...

Does the Learning skill work properly? My GM Learning Monk (Master) is barely ahead of the M & E Learning level characters.

The Alpha for druids to summon creatures is awesome and seems to work just fine for me, but why only earth spells? All elemental spells would make sense. And there are so many creatures to choose from.
I also wonder if it could be tuned to Druid level or Spell skill level for different levels of the same creature? Beginner gets a basic low level creature, expert gets a higher level one....and so on. Maybe grandmaster gets a chance to summon 2? or a similar but tougher creature, since most types of enemies seem to have 3 colors.
Or maybe beginner gets no summon, and only after training up to expert do you get to start summoning.
Whatever I love this new mechanic, I Just would like to see more creatures types used to better fit the situation. Blades gets you a series of ranged creatures, Stone skin gets you rock elementals, deadly swarm gets you fliers of some kind.
Slow gets you a creature that uses slow as a spell(not sure which ones do that.
Fireball gets you a gog, Ice bolt gets you an ooze, Lightning bolt get you and air elemental.
It is an alpha. The guy making it actually asked me for a table, and I even made it continent specific.
But he eventually went away.

In any case, the alpha table is Heroes 4 based, and it makes no sense (like summoning ELVES. The Heroes 4 team implemented summoning like that because they didn't have enough animals and such due to the ridiculous development crap they had to go through).

I'll add your comment to the GitLab Issue.
Finish Druid Summoning

I'm glad you love our Community Branch specific feature! :)

Oh, he's back. Let the spamming of a spoiled brat continue.

At least I have him blocked since like a half year ago, so I am safe from it.

Those other poor souls in this thread though,.... I fear for their sanity. :S

Depends on if you are using the Racial Skills modification (that is meant to replace Racial Classes with those Racial Skills, converting them).

Trolls can always wear those, even when not Liches.

Forgot about what Minotaur Liches are based on - normal male, or minotaur paperdoll type.
Somebody else will surely help though. I hope.

Remember, character's not always get EXP, like when they are unconscious or dead, etc. Also was he missing for a quest with some big EXP reward?

I will either make or won't make an Issue based on how you answer that.

So. Another Sunday, another trip to the Arena. Slice and dice everything there.

Lo and behold, who shows up but...Verdant!!!

Her 4 lines of text, however, were all Collect Prize! as you'd get from the arena master, since everything was cleared out. What she said was fine, I think...altho I didn't get the connector stone from her, if I get that on this contact? Don't recall. But the display text, at least, was messed up.

EDIT: just popped back from the Arena to Harmondale and she showed up again with the connector gem.

The Monks are my toughest characters, they aren't down that often relative to the rest of the group. I've kept my party unchanged. I've dropped the Priest briefly just to make room for Overdune Snapfinger to bring him to Alvar.

The group also doesn't have access to Eofol yet. So the level/xp discrepancy can't be due to wishing well use either.

Cutscenes crash the game in Software mode

I'm trying to fix the unlocker as reported by someone on Discord and instead I have to solve this bullshit to get to character creation. At least now I know. For an hour I didn't and couldn't get inside. :-S
