I definately LIKE this idea. I'm thinking Racial tech's could be set for Class, like Druid (nature type magic and weapons), sorcerer (inherent type magic), wizard (scrolls and potions), Paladin (religion is on his side), etc.
Let me know how I can help.

PS - I am not graphically inclined but can do some minor work in that area.

I think if pictures can be found elsewhere and copied into the mod, that would be easiest.

Post any ideas you have here. Have much experience playing RPGs and such?

lordy, some people certainly like to iceskate uphill. these are all clever ideas that have been joked about in the past, but you guys could just buy a copy of Warlords or one of the hundreds of other fantasy strategy games out there.

well, more power to you, i suppose.

Nuts to you Puke!

This won't be too hard to do. More like iceskating on a very slight uphill slope.

Puke - I DO buy as many of the fantasy and RPG games my budget can afford. I still think modding this game into that world would be cool!

Imperator Fyron - My first RPG was Might and Magic (the first one) and it is that game that turned me into the person I am today (PC/Network Tech with a vivid love of gaming). I believe that was 1987 and I have played mostly RPG and RTS since that time.

Ok. That is a lot of RPG history.

Gandalph and Lemmy:
What would you guys want to work on? Any particular areas of interest?

I don't know much about the 'Runesword' game (yeah, one of the 'other forums' ) but could you use the pic files from there?? (maybe some of their authors would like to contribute).

I would but I am currently pouring all my fantasy efforts into NWN. (NeverWinterNights that is )

I do have one idea to contribute, just that the Rate of Fire would be great for weapon speration (ie a Two Handed sword/Lance would do lots of damage but swing slower that a short sword/javelin). You could even impliment massive attacks such as breath weapons (dragons etc) as ROF 15,20 or 30 attacks.
