I completely changed my emoting style to avoid accidentally falling on my face during scenes. A toggle would have been nice.

I too would love a toggle or if not possible at least changing the "fall(s)" trigger to something else.

since we are on the subject, here are some suggestions for words that, depending on context, can mean the same thing as [falls]

slump/slumped (her head slumped as she looked down to the ground, defeated)
settle/settled (her eyes settled to the man sitting accross from her)
sinks/sunk (her head sunk mournfully)
drop/dropped (His arms dropped to his sides)
rest (they let their gaze rest on the strange creature)

I'll consider the alternatives, in the meantime here are the key words that trigger emotes. Consider these as strings, not words. If you misspell a word but it still starts with these characters it will trigger the emote.

Reuseable templates (similar to the ones that exist for woodworking) that would allow batch production, maybe at a slight production loss from doing it all individually.

Example: Recipe for bulk sawing
Ingredients: 5x of a wood chunk
Yield: 8 wooden planks/poles

or

Example: Recipe for bulk smelting
Ingredients: 20x of a raw ore
Yield: 18 ingots

For sawing: I could agree.

For smelting: No. You can already smelt 10 at a time. (If not more in case of steel etc). I don't think that needs a "buff". As someone that's mastered smithing on multiple PC's, this would just serve to extremely annoy me

I could get behind a sawmill that would just do it all in one go for less or no XP (since you may already have enough levels that there's no point any more to be doing it individually for practice).

Could Hazlan get a carpentry/woodworking vendor and woodworking area? One of the main exports of the region is lumber.

1. Allow miners bags to store crafted arrowheads.
2. Allow crafting of arrowheads to go in big bundles, like 5, 10 or 20 at the time.
All paladins, regardless of background, recognize in each other an eternal bond that transcends culture, race, and even religion. Any two paladins, even from opposite sides of the world, consider themselves comrades. - Base Classes Roleplaying Resources

Almost certainly a hard no, but I've seen it several places, and it looks like alot of fun...

Rapier Wit (3.5e Feat) [General]
Your tongue strikes keener than any blade and your words cut deep.
Prerequisite: Charisma 17+
Benefit: You use your Charisma bonus instead of your Strength bonus for the purposes of determining Attack rolls ONLY with a Rapier.
Normal: Add Strength to Attack rolls.

Kind of useless unless you make Charisma your focus, but I could imagine some interesting builds with Bards, Paladins/BG, Hexblades, Warlocks and even Sorcerors...

Clerics and Favored Souls as well...

A bit like Weapon Finesse or Zen Archery, but for Charisma, and for Rapiers only.

Just throwing it out there...

While neat, we'd have to first fix Finesse to give Dex bonus to damage if greater than Str, which it currently doesn't. It only works for AB.

Good call, and I think the version I played with only did AB, not damage. Ammended!

Damage would be too much.

Could the ferry in Sithicus be made so that it is free to use for any Sithican grey elf PCs? 200 gold back and forth is expensive for lower level PCs.

Why fixing? It works as intended, there's no bug there. That's how it works in PnP and NwN.

Hazlani wood is actually notoriously bad, which is why we don't have any woodworking stations in Hazlan. Ideally we would make the Hazlani trees offer poor crafting ingredients but it's not particularly worth it so we represent it with a lack of stations:

Quote
The scrub trees of the plains are largely stunted pines, while in the west one finds the larger pines of Itu Skoven, "The Broken Forest". Much like Nova Vaasan timber, the wood harvested from the pines of the Broken Forest rots quickly, making it useless for construction. Trees grow at the extreme western edge of Hazlan, where the Hornwood Vale lies as well. The trees of Hornwood are afflicted with a strange parasite that causes hornlike growths to spout from trunks and branches and also renders them unfit for construction.

I meant that in reference to the original suggestion to a Cha version of the same, though you're right that "change" would have been the better word choice. I'm aware this is working as intended.

Currently Petre pays for fur and pelts from animals quite a lot of coin, but the actual meat is nearly worthless.
In the context of the setting, I would argue that it should rather be the other way around with meat being a rare meal for the common classes.

Therefore it may be an idea to add meat to the items Petre pays some decent coin for.
This would also remove a lot of animal corpses that may impact server performance

The counter argument I would add myself is that leaving the meat on dead animals will bring an opportunity for RP with ranger/druids that may use this as an opportunity for confrontation. However, as someone who has jumped on that train for several years I can say that it rarely makes a good scene, especially since its often new players who are not that understanding of why some random ranger or druid gets in their face. In addition, excessive hunting can still result in confrontation without people leaving the meat.

I don't think we need to be double-dipping on the income from hunting.
Currently:
Emmanuelle Skyshard - Ezran escapee from Hazlan
Livu Olmstead - First Watcher of Helm

Also:
Renee le Serrurier - scholar and adventurer

The profits could be split, its more about the issue of corpses left everywhere and meat being worthless

I think that's in the plans for the next Sithicus update.

Would it be possible to add a ''Vallaki Guard Dog'' in the ''Barovia - Vallaki - Lower town - Slums - Guardhouse''. It would be much more convenient to take control of it and it would avoid asking a DM every time to put one there.

Would it be possible to add/extend the area of the front gate of the Red Academy so that the gate door doesn't open right on top of the transition? It's hard to control the NPCs to get out, especially given how buggy the gate is.

Add a language packet that really translate the text to the language chosen, also appears the translation for those who have the skill.

Add a sort of kemo storage packet to have a DB for items stored and do not need to carry "tickets " in the bag.

The current system purposefully does not make use of a DB because of the performance issues it would cause.

Add a language packet that really translate the text to the language chosen, also appears the translation for those who have the skill.
This was seriously considered when the language system was devised, but in the end we elected to go with a more player-friendly system.
