Ive redone my pretender without the #awe, but i still want the standart effect..

#standard works if you use the correct spelling.

And if we're nitpicking spellings and suchlike:

"...and finally kill the one who sent him here."

What, a Lord of the Night or Vampire Queen isn't a deadly enough assassin as it is? Sure, they're not innately assassins, but that's nothing a Black Heart can't fix. The VQ isn't even significantly affected by the installation of a Black Heart, since undead have 0 melee encumberance.

Of course, sending an SC pretender out to kill a single random enemy commander seems to be a little excessive, especially when you can just kill the entire army.....but hey.

The OtherWordly crossbow needs a Precision value, isn't it ?
Or give him an Ethereal Crossbow directly, if you're too lazy to make one yourself in-game .

[Ragnarok-X]

hey again, thanks for suggestions.

Im still not sure about immortality or ethereality.

Anyways, PvK, both #standart and #standard DONT work. Same goes for #awe...

PDF: Missile weapons have to #precision command, instead the #att is used for precision. So the Crossbow has a presicision of 4, which is quite powerfull .

I have another question, about the weapon names.

When designing the weapons i meant them to be weapons from another world or realm. Thats why i called them "Otherworldly". Is that right, understandable ? If not what do you suggest ? I need a präfix or something, like in diablo 2.

thanks for your help !

I might have missed it, but I didn't see #awe on your guy.

in any case put it after the weapons and armor

#awe 4 (or whatever level)

This would show up on the pretender when you looked at him in game as Awe +3 (the first +1 is Awe 0 if that makes sense).

same with the standard, put it after the weapons and armor.

#standard 6 (or whatever level)

I believe all your special abilities are supposed to go after weapons and armor.

IIRC the order you should put things is like:

Name/description
Stats
Weapons/armor
Special powers/abilities
Magic skill levels (ie casting levels)
end

That's why a pretender with innate assassinate is vastly more powerful than a lord of the night with a black heart. It takes *time* to get the black heart, by the time you have it the loss of a single random commander has a relatively small chance of a major impact on armies. During the first 10-15 turns having your commanders repeatedly assassinated by a virtually invicible pretender is crippling, and doesn't suffer the drawback of regular assassins ( specifically you aren't using the 1/comander turn to churn out mages and melee commanders )
