When a dialogue is started with Nadia Ionelus, she runs away and sits in Simona Grecu's lap. (City Hall, Citadel).

I'll fix that.

I can drag Healing Circle III to a quick slot without praying for it (i.e., "spontaneous cast" healing).

It doesn't work for Healing Circle IV.

This may be how it's supposed to work, but I can't figure out why that would be the case.

According to this: https://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Spontaneous_cast you can't spontaneously cast healing spells on levels where you have a bonus domain spell.

In the upstairs of the bookshop in Vallaki, one of the rooms has a bucket. The bucket functions like a light.

Use it, the room brightens. Use it again, the room darkens.

An unidentifiable corpse finds its way into the walls of the Sanctuary of Blessed Succor, laid on the upon the floor infront of Father Miklos. It's origin and identity a mystery to many - The Church invites any that may have information on the deceased and the circumstances involved to please come forth and share what they know.

Spoiler: show
ping me here or on discord, or send a tell to Anghel Vantu in game.


HM01 and I were talking about this in Discord, and apparently no DM knows anything about how this corpse came to be there? It's not a standard corpse in that it acts as though it can be raised, but it's not a PC. When you use it on the priest, you are informed of that, but its description says the corpse *can* be raised for the proper amount of gold.

Just to throw a possible explanation out there until a better comes along:

My PC was badly impaired and then her party tried to use a Lesser Orb of the Mists on her, which naturally didn't work. Her corpse was brought to the VoB temple and raised. Thereafter I logged out for the night.

When I next logged in, that corpse was in front of the priest.

My PC functions fine, but I'm wondering if something in that sequence might have caused the corpse artifact to appear.

My windows cracked, but they can be replaced.

I looked into this and it is a far more mundane explanation than anything above.  It is a corpse item, unaffiliated with a player and accessible by the DMs through the item palette.

When the background selection in the New Character Area is cancelled due to a crash upon entering the server (or accidentally), there's no way to bring it back up again.
I remember DM Tarokka and I were struggling with this a while.

Hi, I was doing some inventory management when the server crashed. I lost quite a few items that my buddy had given me, and they're not in his inventory. However, I specifically -saved- my character before I started sorting things into boxes. However, when the server came back up, all of the items he had given me were gone, including the boxes I had bought and labelled to start sorting. Some of the items in question were valuable, and we need them back.

I was hoping my saved character could be used to overwrite the character currently in the vault.

My character: Verent Ogders (bestbardna)
My buddy's character: Perin Hille (Thaylorn)

We unfortunately do not do those kinds of things as there are no way to know what someone could have done to their saved character and the high risk of cheating involve into this. To save your character you should use the save option specially made to save your character on the server and not on your localvault.

If you have a screen shot of the item you lost a DM can give them back to you, if not, you can always make a request in the Generic Request thread, though item are usually not given back without a proof you truly had them.

It's very likely you lost your items for good if you don't have a screenshot, it's something that happens to everyone at some point, we then learn to save the character (on the server) every once in a while or after trading items, etc. There is unfortunately nothing else that can be done.

I believe he said he saved, but it didn’t stick. This sometimes happens with crashes, unfortunately. The best way to prevent it is simply to log out and back in.

From what I understood he saved it in his local vault. I can be mistaken though.

Nope, I saved it using the save command in the radial, not the export character option in the menu.

Ah! Well Arawn's is right then. As he said, best way to be certain is to log out and back in after.

The hope is that manually saved characters are saved in a backup vault and can overwrite characters in the new vault

Recently I've hostiled other PCs twice. I didn't notice the countdown when I did so, alerting me to enough time had passed so it was okay to attack them.

Seeing as how I'm not the most experienced PvPer this could be me, but if it's a bug, I thought I'd call attention to it.

It depends on how you hostile them. If you hostile via the player list that yellow text saying "10 seconds have passed..." will not display. If you hostile them via the tool in your radial menu it should give you the message.

Also, that 10 second thing isn't a rule but a suggested amount of time.

Krofburg Minor Seam respawn

Over the life of today and some yesterday this has been an ongoing issue. Seems the seams dont respawn as often as they should or at least the particular one I am dealing with. Half hour will pass or more. Still wont show up. No one on the map. And it has been played with to check it. Giving longer and longer times to respawn in without success up to and including 1 hour real time. Eventually gave it 3 hrs and it spawned in. As I understand it should be much less than that

Did you stand close to it? It spawns when you get close.
