Personal Plots

Unread post by Sahaal31 »

Hiya, rather new here to BG and I was just wonder who I should contact if I wanted to initiate some sort of personal plot for one of my characters, if there was a process I needed to go through, or even if you guys did this sort of thing at all. Any info is massively appreciated, cheers! =)

Oh, and another quick question, is there a process where you can import your custom variations of the armour and weapons here? Not adding anything new, just changing colours and armour bits, oh, and accessing some of the standard nwn2 weapon models, thanks!

Generally personal plots are difficult for DMs to manage as there are so many characters and DMs try to aim their efforts towards entertaining groups of players at once. It's usually not too difficult to tie in a bit of something personal if it's central to your character's roleplay and is relatively well known. My advice on this would be to get involved with a guild or two. It's not a rule, but DMs are certainly more likely to become involved with regular groups of players with similar playtimes and guilds help facilitate that.

As for custom items, these requests are best fielded to the DM group with a PM containing the .erf file you want. There isn't any particular DM set to handle these requests and they're not really a priority either, but by PMing the entire group you're more likely to find someone who will fulfill the request.

From personal experience it also have a lot to do with how much time and effort you put into it as a player. The higher the quality of RP for your PC in question, the more work you put into detailing the premise of RP, and the more open you are towards any possible endings, the higher your chances.

=D Thanks for the speedy reply! It's very much appreciated! Just one little question though, on feats and classes gained through things like...say..."Magical discovery" how is this kind of thing handled...? I mean, would a bunch of rp, and screenshots of said rp, sent to a dm be enough? This is all outside of a guild context as well. Thanks again.

Magical discovery RP feats are not granted at this moment.


As for personal plots, you are free to PM the DM team with an idea. We rarely do plots for one player however, you would be required to have other people interested in moving the plot forward along with you. Things that may make a DM more inclined to pick up on a personal plot is if it is a character you have invested in and will continue to play.

What are Magical Discovery RP Feats (as they are not granted at this moment, suggesting that they might be at some future point)?
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it

The Blood Magic feat is the only one currently on the server. It's available to Spirit Shamans at 9th level (I think), and as Magical Discovery as per the Feat description. It increases both CL and DC by 4, stacking with all other bonuses and can take both CL and DC beyond 30.

Ahem, they are not granted.

Feats such as blood magic (arcane and spirit shaman), shadow magic, circle magic. Might be more.
