Few Questions (disguising to mule to alt/bonus damage)

Unread post by LevelSix_SYSTEM »

Been trying to figure out how disguising works to get some gear pieces to an alt but cant seem to get it to work? :think:
I type in the name, both first & last, then I'm already the same for race/sex so I leave it set to 'none' but It wont let me access my alts stash that I am disguised as?
Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to have a certain minimum skill rank in disguise, as I have 6 on the character I am trying to do this on?
(Trying to access stash outside BG at NPC: Blunt)

Also curious about damage bonuses on gear, I would think if on a weapon it would be 'local' to attacks from said weapon but what about Shields or other Armor/Accessories?
Would a +1 acid dmg on a Shield apply to any attacks or maybe spells?
Or is that bonus dmg for Shield Bashes?

Disguise is a system to change PC name and appearance (and is quite wonky), it's not meant to mule items etc. It's just an RP tool to go on with your shenanigans and intrigue RP.
If you want to mule your stuff from one PC to another, it's better to ask players in nexus or place you are in to hold your gear.

Gear damage bonuses do apply to that weapon only (unless some feat or class feature states it adds weapon damage to spell damage etc).
Shield having damage is because we have shield bash line of feats, that allows to use shield as offhand weapon with feat investment, so it only applies on attacks you make with your shield.

You cannot access storage from your other chars. (That was disabled by design.)

It's been years for me, but I do recall, vaguely it being disabled to mule items from your stash as a part of an item dupe issue. Or part of it that I reported a long while ago, as it had the chance to clone your PC in your vault. It will be invisible on client end (Until you RCR and see all that gear on said PC still in your vault) but very visible on server end, they had to remove illegal characters from my vault a few times after requesting such. Then I just toss the gear to the fire after that was duped as I know better.

That was the theory at least that it was somehow linked.

Edit: Also made some RCR xp transfer issues... Personal hobbies include braking systems so I can better understand stuff and report them I suppose? This was directed to the personal storage access disabled, and other things.
After years of trying to give others a chance to prove to me they can shape up here, I have run out of patience. The numbers of nwn2 overall dropping in the past few years have told me the path others truly want to take. Actions speak louder than words.

It's not worth the investment.

Oh... ok, I had saw someone post that disguise was able to do that, thanks for confirming that was not correct
I know I tried to stash stuff in a 'trash bin' on one character then retrieve it right away but the items had disappeared, as though logging out on the alt that put them there 'deleted them'.
Made sure to use a obscure trash bin too so no one else should have been able to grab them before i logged back in with other alt...
Anyone know 'if' logging out with items in a campfire or on ground also will disappear?

EDIT: nvm just tested it myself with some fodder items, the campfire & items bags left on ground persist and can be picked up on alts :dance:
Not sure why the trash bins purged them thou? :think:
