Items to be removed! please read!!!!

[Egg Shen]

Needing a specific item to be a good build is probably a sign that the item is a bit too strong.

Damn... I guess +3 gear is next to go, because its the only way my fighter can survive.


I'm not really against seeing some of the immunity items going btw. Immunity to Mind Spells and Perma-Freedom of Movement is very lame. However, I don't think you need to witch hunt every immunity item in the game, because some of them are not so great. Immunity to Poison isn't so great for instance, because there comes a point where saves make diseases, poisons, and most spells obsolete.

Well, the reason I said "specific item" was to hone in on the fact that something very specific like an immunity to mind spells item can pretty much make a will save unnecessary. That is lame, as you pointed out.

And if immunity to poison items aren't that great, nobody will mind seeing them go, will they? They mentioned giving a similar item, if possible, without the immunity. . .

@ Blank, try not to panic. It's just stuff. Your character is still your character regardless of what gear they have, no? But I do agree that if there IS more to be aware of than just the immunity items, it'd be nice to know. Communication is always good, even if there is an uproar because of it.

PS - I'm sure you're not panicking, just a little jokey-joke.

If you stopped listening to the rumour mill and read what Kelsfar wrote it is pretty clear.

1) We are calling back immunity ONLY for the time being

2) there have been incidents of some items being given out unsanctioned, and against the guidelines. Those items will be taken back, and the DMs will take care of that themselves, this has nothing to to with this topic, and no, we are not calling everything back. That would be the incident both you and Bernard are referring to.

Ahh ok I got it. Sorry if my post sounded a bit panicky and/or demanding. Didn't mean it to come out that way.

[FallzQuick]

Can a list of all the items be given? Just so it is easier to find them? and not accidentally give legit gear to the abyss? Thanks!

Golden Circlet
Encircling Scale
Cloak of Movement
Broewende Family Armor
Belt of Guiding Light
Staff of Command
Purple Dragon Ring

I'm sure there are more out there. Also, some items will have those names but do NOT have the immunity. Those would be the new items that replaced the old ones in the loot script. If you have the new items, you're fine.

Wanna play NWN 2 online, this server basicly is the only place to be :winks:

That's just a dangerous, foolish thing to say. While this server is quite good and one of the better builds out there, it is not the only choice. That kind of mentality breaks up communities.

Oh my, oh my... I guess you failed to see the jesting nature of that statement.
Breaking up communities... don't be so sensitive, lighten up and take it a little less seriously.

Back on topic:
Yeah, there are some bad immunity items out there, some more powerful than others, and I am glad to see that they will be revomed. Kudos to those who will actually do all the removing-effort.

I also like the idea that players can be compensated for turning in their "illegal" items.
That's probably the best way to go about it if a wipe won't happen.

[Carbondk]

After one week these items will be auto pulled from inventories and Gold or equvilant item trade will no longer be available, meaning no refund.

I will just emphasize this, which means that those who have not chosen to contact a DM for a refund will have their items removed without and reimbursement.

Question - what about players who due to being currently away and not playing are not able to hand over the said items within the next week?

I thought of that. We should extend the time.

Fair enough. Sarcasm never translates well through the internet



As for Golden Circlet, there is a Golden Circlet out there with no immunities, just a bunch of bonuses to will and mind saves. One of my characters has one such as this. So please don't auto-delete all Golden Circlets.

Read my post. I already mentioned those.

[FallzQuick]

may I ask what the new cloaks of freedom do? As I've a one and would like to know if it is worth getting the downgraded version or the cash for a new item, thanks =)

[Sir_Carnifex]

I could not find a new version of that particular item.

Bad choice of words on my behalf as well... should have said it was the best place to be. That's what I meant

Oh, and don't forget the UD item which grants immunity to finger of death and powerword kill. Can't recall its name...

[FallzQuick]

those are not limited to the UD, my surfacer... had one, what will be its replacement who knows....

What about items that give 10 or 15 dr or elemental resist? are these not an immunity in themselves? will these be taken away as well???, granted not as useful as immune to physical dmg or elemental, but are a form of immunity to low-mid range damage.
